Hi all. Alanna Boyd Jones is here! Horray. She arrived at 9:47 am on Tuesday the 27th of Nov. Dilys was amazing and handled the labour and birth so well. I’m sure she will tell you ladies al about it. Ethan is so happy that she is here and they have already had the first hug! We have uploaded some Images in Flickr on the right of the blog. Thanks for all the texts, mail and calls. I’m sure Alanna can’t wait to meet you all. We will post more photos of her close up and not hiding from the camera soon! God Bless. The Jones family!

Not long now.....

Hi guys. Well we are still waiting for the new baba. He/she? was due on the 25th, so no doubt we will have a new arrival soon! Please keep praying for a safe delivery and thanks for all the texts/ mails asking how things are. Dilys is feeling good, despite the fact for the past while she has been carrying around an extra stone weight every day! Ethan is also looking forward to baby. He thinks he is having one too, as he is pointing to his stomach and saying "my baby is coming soon too!" Susan (Rob’s sister) is over form Australia with her daughter Liliah for 4 weeks, which is great. We are having plenty of "cousin" time which is such a laugh. We will post some photos soon. We will let you know quickly, as the new arrival comes....How exciting.

Graduation, HORRAY !

Well, well, well after 3 years of hard slog Rob finally got his B. Th. degree from Trinity College Dublin. It was a great day and excellent to meet the class again and catch up. The photo shows Rob with James (middle) and Barry. Or Rev. Boyd and Rev. Forde! David (Rob's Dad) turned up wearing a UCD (University College Dublin) tie; A fond reminder to Rob of his loyalty to UCD, where he did his science degree, and the rivalry between the two universities! Come on the OYKS! There are more photos in Flickr (on the right of blog) Everything else is going well and we are awaiting any day the arrival of the new baby. We will post as soon as he/ she arrives.....Very exciting times for us all, even Ethan is over the moon and very much anticipating the new member to our family. Watch this space, more soon!
