Loved the latest batch of photos. looks like you are really having a blast with some good mates. Katie has now decided that NZ is a definite no go due to new man. Bit disappointed for her but she is soooooo happy I can't complain really! Ali has settled well in Vienna and is loving it. Both work and social life are keeping him fully occupied. William and I are going to visit in 3 weeks....can't wait.
William is well, on the golf course for a change!? M&S is struggling on so at least he is out of mischief. Getting used to life after kids and becoming totally indulgent and selfish...isn't life great!
Keep well, have fun and keep in touch. LOVE JD!

Any chance of a phone call!

Hey Fitzpatricks,
I really wish i was there too, and for the record was almost in tears myself but me and Alyson had a bottle of Lindauer (rose) to toast to you both!
I'm so pleased you liked the video, and even more pleased it came as a suprise, i only wish i could have suprised you both by showing up but it was just impossible!
I miss you both so much, and am already looking forward to seeing you again, despite not yet being half way!
take care i love you both

Hey Ben,
Just a really quick message before we go off on our honeymoon later. The poem you wrote which mum read at the church was so beautiful. And the video of you was such a fantastic surprise.
Both of us were in floods of tears! Really really wish you were there. It was the happiest day of our lives so far.
We miss you loads and can't wait to see you soon.
Lots of love,
Ellie and Neil

Take care and keep in touch

Hi Ben,
Iris Eleanor Thomson was born on Sunday 2nd August at 17.30 weighing 7lbs 3 ounces. The labour was long and involved a quick ambulance ride across Newcastle to a different hospital, but we are all fine. There are some early photos on Facebook - she is, if I may say so, adorable!

Hi Ben,
All is going well and we only have four weeks left until the baby is due, so I am pretty humungous. The weather here is gorgeous and I have now just finished work, so here's to sitting on the beach and chilling while I still have the chance! Glad to hear all is going well - keep us up to date. xx
