quick catch up

What a week. Having come back from a super relaxing and sunny holiday, we are already exhausted from a big week back. Highlight of the week has to be Nicholas' birthday. It was a lovely warm day and we had some friends around and then family for dinner. He loved his day and was a total star. I saw a wonderful recognition of specialness creep across his face when we were singing happy birthday and it warmed my heart. He seems to have grown up so much in the past few weeks. First photo is Nic and his cousin Olivia who is ten days older than him and his little cousin Ben on the grass who is one today. Big birthday month for us.

Other highlights this week

• making the birthday cake - very fun
• bookgroup - read a couple of books on holiday, will add these to 'bookscape' when I have a bit more time
• starting my new 'project' for work, going to a new place in the morning and doing detail work all day. Enjoying so far
• going to 'The bicycle theif' for dinner last night to celebrate a colleauges upcoming wedding
• going to another wedding this afternoon
• biking to work yesterday

Low lights

• very tired already
• U2 concert being postponed - was looking forward to that but wouldn't begrudge for a minute the reason. Family comes first.

More holiday snaps coming soon.
