Happy Birthday Harry & Ben ! - 1 year old

21st Jan 2006 - Harry & Ben are one year old !
They were weighed last Thursday, Harry is 17lb 13.5oz and Ben is 17lb 3oz

We think Ben is lighter because he is just so active the whole time :-)

Saturday came and Carols family came round and my Mum and my nephew Cameron. Unfortunately my Sister and niece Hannah and Robin couldn't make it due to prior commitments that they couldn't escape from.

The day was very hectic and was very good fun. The boys had a great time with all the attention and they were spoilt rotten.

It is hard to believe a year has passed already. The trauma of their early birth seems so far away now and all the months we spent with the wonderful staff in the Neonatal Unit. If it wasn't for their dedication and loving care our boys wouldn't be here today and we can never thank them enough. There were times when we thought that this day would never come and to be here celebrating their 1st birthday is truly a miracle.

Here are the photos:

This first one is of Harry & Ben wearing the outfits that Carols brother John and his partner Emma bought them for Xmas.

And of course the Birthday Cake:



The cake came from a bakery in Andover called Burbidges, they did us proud.

This is will be our last entry for a few weeks as we are changing ISP and we are being cut off today and will have to wait 10 days or so for a new account to start up.
Watch this space :-)
