Weekend antics

On Friday I had arranged a surprise scrapbooking evening for lilian. It was her birthday on Monday 14th so I thought this would be something she would enjoy. It was great craic and I think everyone enjoyed themselves!!



On Saturday was Hill St. ladies walk. It was a glorious day. 24 of us headed up to the giants causeway and some of us did the cliff top path. After working up an appetite we went for a lovely buffet meal to the Royal Court Hotel. It was a great day!



As always there must be a picture of Reuben somewhere, so here he is. It didn't come out too clearly but his mouth is actually kind of black as he had been playing in the coal bucket and then licking his fingers... mmm nice!!

Reuben loves to puddle

This is Reuben and his new apron enjoying making a mess-
ah well, its only water!

"A LIST" Celebrity family

My family really are a bunch of "A" Listers.

For a start this weekend was my brothers CD launch concert in Ballymena. It went really well with over 300 people turning up in West Church for the event. It was such a blessing to have so much support.

The concert appeared to be a success with many songs performed from the CD recorded by my brother and his friend Sam Murray. There were also a few extra songs thrown in. Money from the CD sales all go to a charity called Waakisa Ministries. They raised over £2,500! Quite amazing!

Here are some pics from the night. ( I was playing violin, can you spot me?)

Reuben also made his debut modelling appearance this week. Unknown to me Ricks Granny and cousin had entered a picture of Reuben into a magazine called My Weekly.


His picture was printed in this weeks issue. It is a bit blurry but this is what is says...
"Little Treasures
Here is a picture of my great-grandson, Reuben, aged 11 months, learning to walk.

How precious!!! That is one for the scrapbook!!!

After being told that he sings like his dad, Reuben has decided to take him on at guitar too!!!

What reuben did next...

You know when children are being quiet you should ALWAYS go and see what they are up to.
A few days ago we were still in bed and reuben had woken up but was playing very quietly and contentedly in his cot- we thought we would leave him and enjoy our lie in.

Reuben was being quiet because he had to concentrate very hard on the picking and peeling method that he had obviously mastered very well!!!



Who could be cross with this wee face?? (apart from mummy and daddy!)
