Children reinvent your world for you.

A very proud day for myself and Tess A few weeks ago , out of the blue we were asked to be Godparents to young Shay. Now I have to admit we are not the youngest so to be asked and to be trusted was an imense honour. The service was lovely and we returned for a barbecue at Lucys mums house. Shays dad did what men do and took control of the barbecue and Lucy had done some amazing deserts..Brownies, cheesecake and pavlova (I felt it would be rude not to have all three!) Despite the almost non stop rain and with the help of two gazebos a lovely afternoon was had by all. To finish it off Lucy had made a lovely cake and Shay was toasted with champagne and by some black velvet
Delightful day with delightful children, delightful family, and delightful wife.

One small hand to hold in yours,
One small face to smile,
One wet kiss as he says "good-night"
One small child.

Catch the moment, put it in your heart
The years too soon will fly.
These are precious moments,
more than money can buy.

Two small arms to hold you tight,
Two small feet to run,
Two small eyes full of love for you,
One small son.

Catch the moment and put it in your heart
and never let it go.
Save it for the years to come
when Shay, too, will know.
