Good Luck Dad
You know what I’m talking about, Dad. We’re thinking of you tonight.
The whole family, here together
Here we all are at the Fairfield boat house.
Nicholas, Fiona, Paige, Ethan, Lucinda, Audrey AND Eric!
It took 2 cars to get us all down here!
A hundred expressions a minute
Home again home again, jiggety – jig
The Sniff Test
We have a tradition in this house: when the new baby comes home, we place her on the floor on a cushion and Eric Biggles gets to sniff the infant for a minute before anything else happens. It’s only fair: Eric has after all looked after Fiona throughout the pregnancy, and nearly went out of his doggy mind toward the end, nervously following her from room to room for the final week.
As you can see, Eric is more enthusiastic about the encounter than Audrey, although I think it went quite well overall: there was no slobbery face licking, and no eye scratching. She’s thinking: “hmm, your breath isn’t so great …”
First Bath
Ethan & Lucinda had cuddles
.. and helped bathe Audrey
… I think Lucinda figured out where babies come from!
Ethan Wins Bravery Award at the Royal Childrens Hospital
Ethan underwent emergency surgery on Friday, but now he’s fine.
new job
Nick has a new full time job here. It seems great, so far. Very weird to be back in fill time employment! Goodbye to golden unemployment, hello to a new era.
