On July 3rd of this year (2012) at 22.26, everything changed. Síofra had a baby girl, weighing 8lbs, 13Oz. Neasa is a little over two months old now, Síofra and I still can’t believe how lucky we are to have a beautiful, healthy girl who loves her sleep!

Thank you to everyone for your messages, cards, gifts and visits.

Sí had been in the Maternity for a spell before Neasa was born. We wanted to get a few bump shots, but weren’t allowed to leave the hospital grounds. We still managed to get a few! 🙂

Síofra and I were a year married on Feb. 10th. In the absence of decent wrapping paper, I made my own! Happy anniversary Sí. x

This is Ela, one of my two beautiful nieces. The girls live over in London, so I don’t get to see them very often. I was looking through some photos from earlier this Summer when I came across this – a very happy Ela who got covered in sand while playing on Garretstown beach near Ballinspittle, Co. Cork. I’ve posted a few photos of Azra before, but I think this is Ela’s first time featuring here.

Girls, I’m hope to see you both very soon (and your folks of course)! 🙂

Another one from the archives. I found this shot of my god son, Max, while looking for another photo yesterday. I thought he was looking particularly cool with his hat and curls.

My mother graduated in UCC yesterday. Rotten weather, but we had a great day. Went to Jim Edwards in Kinsale afterwards for dinner – beautiful as usual! Well done Mom, we’re all really proud of you!

Not sure about the processing on this one – any comments or suggestions?

A shot of my Sister Marion and her daughter Azra during a recent trip to Garretstown for a spot of Surfing. I must say, as cold as she was, Azra was very brave in the water and did very well surfing.  Mar was equally as brave and got on really well at the surfing too!! 🙂

I brought Azra to Curraghchase yesterday to see the Ducks, Swans and Trees. But most of all, to have a go on the swings! Great fun!
