Long time no see

Well, life is definately different now. Our little boy keeps us busy, my time seems to fly by, I can't believe he will be 4 months old soon.

Quick catch up of recent events:
We just got back from England. We were there 2 weeks, which was way too short as we didn't quite manage to fit seeing everyone that we had hoped too.

BUT, we had fish & chips with Tim & Debs, dinner/lunch/day out at the National Railway Museum with Dad & Liz, went to Castle Howard with Mum & Sue, went to oxford to visit the Toppings and the Smalls, had lots of family time when Bob, Marie-Ann and Ben were home (it was short but oh so sweet!), I had a fun night with Cags and Han, we went to the Embassy bowling night, Hannah and I went out for drinks. We also did the usual; wander down to Yarm, walk to Tesco, nip to the Pav for a swift half, go to All Saints for church, quiet drink in the Pot & Glass... all the good stuff that feels normal.

It felt good to be home. And it was nice to see friends who, even though we have long periods of time apart, are still so much a part of who I am. I love the friendships where time doesn't matter, it feels comfortable and normal whenever you see them, even if it's been years or monthes. Elizabeth, Hannah, Debs and Caroline - time doesn't matter with our friendships... THANK YOU!

Here are some pics, enjoy;

Hey Chris,

Great to see that you're back on your blog (I'd gotten a little weary with seeing my face everytime I checked out your page!) and the great pictures from your time at home. Warmed my heart too to hear that you were blessed again by your long-time friendships at home. I'd been wondering if you call your little man Nate at all - good, cause I think I've been thinking of him that way for awhile now.

Looking forward to being home in 2 1/2 weeks!
