Reflections on a Decade

This really is a hard one as how can you sum up a decade in a few paragraphs, or maybe not perhaps it can be summed up in a word Jamie!

Yes we have had loses loved ones and cherished pets, all still much loved and much missed.

There have been adventures and places we have seen some we have grown to love (Cobh in Co Cork springs to mind) and some we have longed to see such as Kefalonia which led us to Ithaca, a place I truly fell in love with. We have made new friends and discovered new interests which are taking our lives in totally different directions to those we had planned at the start of the decade. And there are the old friends too, always there and always reliable. We have watched friends children grow up, so they now babysit for us, when we once babysat them. But most of all the decade has been Jamie ......

Jamie was born a few weeks into the new decade and it has been the most amazing and wonderful journey, watching him grow, change and develop into his own person and a lovely person at that too. Well I am going to say that but he is caring and kind, noisy and loud and noisy (!!), he is funny and smart, can talk the back legs off a donkey. So here in no special order is a glimpse into our decade .....


Dinosaurs they have played a big part ......



Our first day at school, a wonderful and joyous day (and yet I always remember another school and other children too those from Beslan who were just at school that day too)


8th Birthday Boy and his cake


a more recent one - cheeky!


He has always pulled some amazing faces, not sure about the hair in this one, we are on a Thomas train here, Thomas the Tank Engine played a big part in our lives for several years,



funny face at a zoo, I remember the dungarees well and check out his reigns (just in case)



sleeping on his bean bag, hands above his head he slept like this a lot




mmmmmm ice cream



cool dude in his shades, no photos please ...




Jamie's first trip to the beach, a wonderful secluded beach in Ireland.
Wonderful times and wonderful memories.


Ciao
