Ethan, Sam and Rebecca's Baptism

This Sunday ( 21st May) Ethan, Sam and Rebecca are all getting baptised in St. Catherines in the morning service. The service starts at 11am. Afterwards we are all going over to Dad's house in Rathfarnham for a light lunch. Please feel free to drop in either to the church or to the house. If you need directions, drop me an email. We took this photo of ( left to right) Rebecca, Sam, Ella and Ethan. Ella has already been baptised, but when we told her that the other 3 were getting dunked she was very happy. Perhaps see you Sunday.

Burning the candle at both ends !

What a week it’s been.... Dilys went away last weekend for a surprise party for Janet , which was great fun by all accounts and if the faces at the airport were anything to go by, there was little if any sleep had. Happy Birthday Jan. While Dilys was away, myself and Ethan had great fun. We enjoyed the TV, DVD and a nice pot of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream ! However Ethan has been sick since ! I guess he is a little young for the Bacardi breezers ! Since Sunday, the poor little fella has been losing it from both ends if you know what I mean ! As you know I’m right in the middle of study so its been a bit hectic around here. A little like the picture above ! But all will be over soon and we will be in NZ watching the world cup and also witnessing the Irish beat the All Blacks ! Sorry Gill , Geoff and Co it has to happen sometime. Well I better get back to my hermeneutics..... More soon. R.

20 days to go....

Well boys and girls, its only 20 days until the first match of the world cup ! I know the Irish aren't in it, but that doesn't stop us watching it. As always I have my world cup planner on the go. I know : sad git, but I will need something to do in the middle of the night in New Zealand when Ethan is wide awake. The other advantage of Ethan being awake all night is that it will mean I can watch the games live ! For all you ( especially you Sulu ) who don't have your planner yet, you can download a good one at : http://download.itv.com/worldcup/world_cup_planner.pdf. Only 13 days until we all fly to New Zealand, Can't wait......
