A Sad, but Sunny Weekend

Yes, that is blue sky over Dublin, and yes - we got to braai!
We could even sit outside and enjoy the sunshine
Yes, ben is in the jacuzzi! in the sun!!
Our happy Rachel - there's a smile for you grandpa
Look at my big muscles!

Well, we had to say goodbye to mom and dad on Friday as they flew back to Doha - and we were all very sad to see them go. The kids have been asking all weekend for them, with Ben particularly sad that nanny went home. But, this is ironic, we had terrible weather the last few days they were here - lots of light and persistant rain. Lo and behold though, this weekend has been fantastic. We have had to really gorgeous days that even allowed us to have a braai today in sunshine! I actually felt warmth from the sun and it was good!

As for the family - Rachel is just getting bigger and bigger (6.1kgs at her doc's appointment on Friday). But with bigger comes sleep I have found - she is doing really well - going for about seven eight hours at a stretch at night - who could ask for more at seven weeks! :) The whole family even got a lie in this morning with Daniel only waking at 7:17!!! And for those in the know - know THAT never happens! :) This means that all is good with the Fishers... Will post again soon
