Back from Ireland

Well we had a fantastic trip home. We managed to catch up with a lot of our close friends and all of our family. It was just brilliant spending time with them and introducing them to our 2 little munchkins. Speaking of whom, they absolutely loved Ireland, meeting everyone, and being spolit rotten by family and friends.
The main reason we went home was for Ger's sister's wedding, that of Denise and Finbar. It was a fantastic day! An amazing wedding. Ashling was her flower girl, which was just such an honour for her. She and 2 of the cousins, who were the two page boys, went up the church as a little trio, the 2 boys either side of Ashling on her little bike. It was adorable.
Anyway, we're back in Auckland now....with a bang. Came home to a letter from the hospital with a date for Ashling's knee surgery...this Fri 10th of Sep. She is having plates put on her knees and these plates will guide her growth and hopefully help to straighten the bend in her knees. If you'd like to know more about the surgery, have a look at

Please say a wee prayer for her. Will be in touch. Thanks for reading this xxx
