There's more ...
There's still more photos to add, just need to download them off the camera. I'll try and get it done over the weekend.
Special present
Whilst visiting Dave's mum in Wales, Jacob received an extra special present off Robert. Robert has been making love spoons for several years and they are just getting better and more intricate. Dave, Jacob and I just wanted to say a special thank you for Jacob's love spoon, it's beautiful.
The European visit
Well, where do I start. We got to the UK on Friday 24th August and felt tired, dirty, thirsty, hungry and p*ssed off as Emirates lost our brand new lightweight, foldable stroller. Also on the Friday night Dave and I visited the toilet on several occasions as we had picked up a rotten bug off the plane. Jacob also got the bug but didn't start until early Saturday morning. My parents were brilliant taking Jacob over to theirs to give Dave and I some much needed rest.
Of course we were staying with our friends who were getting married the following weekend, guess who was feeling a little worried that we might have ruined their wedding with the bug?! Luckily, no one else got it.
By the Sunday we were feeling better so visited quite a few of our relatives, so they could meet Jacob. And really, that's how the first week went, catching up with relatives and friends. We were also involved with wedding plans and arrangements, as Dave and I were key members of the wedding party.
The wedding was fab, our friends looked gorgeous and Ju's dress was amazing. Dave and I had a great day, we really enjoyed it and wouldn't have missed the wedding for anything. See photos on the slide show.
We went to Wales to visit Dave's mum and then off to Spain for a week. It was great to be home and have all our possessions around us. There was heaps of clothes I had forgotten about and needed to bring an extra suitcase home with us! Jacob coped with the heat pretty well, slept nicely in his tent cot (in our bathroom as his bedroom had got his Nan in) and we found a great new bar that had opened five minutes away from where we lived - 2 euros for a large beer, we were in heaven.
The last week went pretty quickly, visiting parents again, spending time at my brother's new house, catching up with my sister again and then it was time to repack everything up - my clothes, Jacob's generous gifts and Dave's electronics - and get back on the plane.
The weeks flew by but it was great to catch up with all our family and friends. It was great for Jacob to meet everyone and he behaved brilliantly (except at night, every two hours!). He smiled at everyone, was cute and cheeky and got into eating new foods (garlic mayo, bread, spicy soup and baby food), started drinking water and several different types of beers too!
