  • Wrenching

    You hear about it, you see it in films, read it in books, but nothing prepared me for the feeling when I had to leave my wife and son back in Europe and head back home to work. I’m not unemotional, but I was completely taken aback by how powerful the feeling was when it […]

  • Boys Outing

      Today, Father and Son headed out to the shops on our own. For the first time. The shops are literally a five minute drive, and before we had even arrived we had received a message asking “All ok?”. 15 minutes later we had another asking “When we are coming home” – I think Mummy […]

  • Angel Spotting

    There is nothing much to look at on the ceiling in our apartment, or on any other ceiling usually. So what do babies look at?

The day eventually came when we parted ways – a healthy Baby Boy had been born and the Doctor moved on to other patients. […]

  • A Tale of Colic from a far-off-land

  • Sleeping Baby, Staring Parents

    Time spent on getting your baby to sleep can be quite substantial. So it is strange that when parents do get their babies to sleep, they then stand there watching the baby. Seeing the quirky facial movements, the half smile, the quivering lip, the big grin that seems to represent a ‘number 2’, or the […]

  • Face Changes

    This sounds ridiculous, but I just opened a picture of the little chap on our computer, from when he was only a few days old, and already his features are changing! Its almost sad that he’s growing so quickly. I should point out that He is only two weeks old ….
