Day 117: I got me a new phone!






I love my hubby and son - cos they bought me an iPhone! In honour of the occassion I took a photo of them enjoying a bottle together as the first photo on it!

Day 116: Messy baby!






Turned my back for two seconds!! Baby scamp took the opportunity to upend his bowl of rice - bloody useless suction cups!

We went out shopping and decided to stop for lunch. Conor joined us for a sandwich!

This is what I want for dinner mammy!! Left my book of baby food down while trying to deicde what meals to cook. Conor was more than happy to venture an opinion!

Day 107 - Family - Day 14





6 generations of Sherwin blood. In the front row, my dad son and brother. The photo in the back is from right to left my dad, my grandad (who I sadly never met), my great grandfather, and my great great grandfather. His photo was taken at work. He was a marble mason. It's shame photos don't go back much further than that (mid 1800s) as we have traced our ancestors back further. I come from a line of goldsmiths, silversmiths, and marble masons. My brother is the first male in 100s of years, in my fathers direct line,  not to have served an apprenticeship.

Uncle Ciaran home from Australia. Showing Conor what being an engineer is all about! Conor showed him what he thought of his engineering skills a few minutes later - shame I missed that picture! I'm not sure if I should be worried or proud!

Daffodils in spring!

Day 77: 6 months!!

Where does the time go! Babs is 6 whole months now. I suspect the next 6 months are going to go even faster than the last ones and see even more changes. Hopefully they will all be good things or at least more good than bad! Poor scamp doesn't look too happy in this one but he was a bit under the weather.

Day 74: The Alphabet: Day 25

Y is for - Yet more election literature!


I'm feeling very popular again. Just as one election is over I start getting lots more fliers in the door! As a Trinity graduate I get to vote for the Senate elections  -we are a three seat constituency.  This is what I recieved in the last two days alone.  All this is adressed to me as Mrs. Claire Married Name B.A.; Interestingly I never informed the college that I had changed my name on marriage but since I did get married there they have taken the liberty of deciding for me!
