Merry Christmas!!!!!

All I got for Christmas was my two front bottom teeth and loads of lovely presents from friends and family! Thanks to everyone and here's a few snaps...

Football, Soccer, whatever you call it, I'm too old!

My first game back after having Rebecca was at a local high school against 16 year olds...not what I call fun. I spent the entire 90 minutes as Captain (yes, I said 90 minutes) watching the back of some skinny stiker after she toasted me numerous times! Rebecca and Wayne came to watch, fortunately, we drew 2-2 so I wasn't entirely humiliated. (Just couldn't walk for two days)

Finally!!!!

We finally managed to catch a giggle on camera! We think it's because she was deliriously tired (as were her parents), but she found her swing particularly amusing today for some reason.

Halloween

Well, without a trick or treater in site, we ate all our own candy (sweets) and dressed Rebecca up for pure parental comic value...I don't think she is a big fan of this particular American tradition, but as a 4th of July baby, she doesn't have a choice!

Back in England...

...back to reality.

...back to baby groups.

...back to coffee mornings.

...back to work - oh wait, thanks to Socialism I won't be back till December - YIPPEE!!!

Goodbye Yankee Stadium...

Wayne and Rebecca made it to Yankee Stadium for the first time just before it closed. We got high fived and God Bless You for taking the baby to the game. Becks wore her pink Yankees outfit that Auntie Sarah gave her. I hope I didn't offend Wayne by telling everyone around us when Derek Jeter came up to bat that he was supposed to be Rebecca's daddy:)

Boston and Maine

We had such a great visit with the girls in Boston and in Maine. Thanks to the Revettes for hosting us all weekend, and for Thursday nights after work drinks, mostly because it was the first time Lucie and Becks got to meet not on a computer, but also because Wayne and I desperately needed a Blue Moon after being lost in Boston for 1 and a half hours!

Thanks Alyce for having us up to Portland, loved the baby chat, comparing scars and sharing the fact that we can't sing nursery rhymes properly thanks to good old Phi Sig! We were all knackered on Saturday, but had so much fun with Nick, Auntie Kelley and the coolest kid on the block, Colton. It was hilarious to hear him call me Chucky!

Last thanks to Zids and Doug for Pizza night, we had a great time but I'm still thinking that cupcakes are meant to be eaten stump first, although the frosting sandwich is a good idea!
