Play Day!

Isobel really, really loves her play days with her friends! She's a very social young lady just like her mum (but unlike her mum is also into her high heels and handbags!). I managed to snap a couple of cute, happy pics after Joseph's blessing.

Having a laugh with the lads!

Lorence having a bit of a Joseph cuddle ... just a couple of weeks after this photo Lorence ended up in Hospital with a headache which turned out to be (of all things!) a brain tumour! Thankfully it's benign! An immediate operation successfully removed the top section of the tumour but a second operation has been scheduled for the 17th of Jan to remove the rest. His current recovery has been astonishing, the operation initially paralysed his left side but he walked out of hospital last Sunday to go home! We attribute it to the love and support of two whole wards (who both had ward fasts for his recovery!), a hearty dinner of KFC and an intense game or two of Risk! Our love and prayers remain with him in preparation for later this month.

Aren't they sweet?!
