VERY ROMANTIC!

We all knew how romantic Rick is at heart but yet again he proved himself even more by arranging a lovely surprise for me this weekend.

It was our 2nd Anniversary on 17th September and I found out that I was being whisked away to the radisson for 2 nights. We arrived Sunday 23rd and had an absolute ball. My mum looked after Reuben and Rick and I just relaxed- it was great. When I arrived at the Hotel he had further arranged for us to have a swedish massage on Monday afternoon!



He is definitely the best husband EVER!!

We both had a super time and enjoyed every minute- we also had the spa and pool to ourselves as there were only 70 guests staying in the hotel and none of them appeared to be interested in the Leisure facilities.




on Monday morning we went for several walks around the northcoast avoiding the showers. The most beautiful (it was such a wild day) was definitely our walk around Mussenden.

NY VISIT

Well this past week my aunt was over from New York making her annual September visit. It was great to see her and she loved spending lots of time with Reuben!

Not going to miss her for too long though as the entire family are going to New York for Christmas.

New Allen Arrival

Hasn't been long since baby 2 in the extended Allen household but now congratulations to Dave and Stacey on the birth of their beautiful daughter Grace, this morning at 9.30 their time.
Both baby and mummy are doing well!



Take care of your sister Caleb and Reuben can't wait to meet his cousins!

Events before and after the fire!

It has been a busy couple of weeks for us!

Saturday 1st September was snow patrol in Ward Park- what an amazing concert. We went with Elia, Rachel and Stew and met up with a couple of other guys I knew from school. Reuben stayed at Pearl and Archies and had a ball himself.
It really was a great concert and a good night was had by all!



Katie then left to go to Milton Keynes for a week to the final part of her Yamaha training. She is now a fully accredited Yamaha teacher and is starting work in October- see www.ymsireland.com

Friday night was Katies friend Rachels birthday so she headed out for a bit of a knees up in Ballymena- again a good night!



As you will probably have read there was a fire at our church over the weekend. Toddlers was meant to be starting this Tuesday morning and lots of new toys had been bought- however, toddlers went ahead and was a great success. Click on the church link to see more details!

Anyway- busy busy, Reuben has learnt to crawl forward and is showing his appreciation of R&B music by dancing along, video footage should follow soon. Here is a recent pipc of him for Granny and Granda Allen- love you xx
