That Stork Has Landed Again!


Born on 10th June 2010.
Baby Fin, or Finley George when he is naughty.
Weighing in at 7lb 1oz.


Our gorgeous little chap is doing well.
So is Mum Katie.
The day before Fin was born Jude feel ill with that awful sickness bug, so no trip to the hospital to see his baby brother.
Then I caught it, then Johanna, then Nige then Paul.................
By Sunday Kate was in tears and wanted us all to visit, come what may.
So with bags packed I went to stay with Katie to look after her and 'the boy's' for a two weeks.
Two weeks to get over the worst of the C Section.



Baby Fin in his vintage cradle which I found in great little shop in Whitstable called Warehams.

My morning's were early!
Keeping Jude out of trouble and Katie sitting down!


Nothing is better than a baby dressed in white.


Visitor's came and went.
My Son James nipping in for a cuddle with his nephew's during his lunch break.



Bathing the make do way.


Fin did like it, I think the smallness of the washing up bowl made him feel safe.


He is a hungry, sucky boy.
Give Mummy a rest Fin, suck on this!


I love the cosy hand knitted jumper.


Eventually I went back home, with Kate and boy's in tow.
Freddie and Rocco celebrated their 3rd and 4th birthdays the same week.


A house full of little men, big men, hairy men....being the 3 dog's
and tired females trying to keep them all fed, clean and out of mischief.




Birthday present time for Fred and Roc.
With a little help from Jude.


All together now.
Smile.
No chance!


That's enough lad's, the baby is sleeping.
Baby Fin is a brilliant sleeper.
All the shouting, crying and screaming.... and that's just the big men yelling at the Football!
does not phase Finley.
He sleeps soundly through it all.
Thank God.


And for Mr N and me a little escape to Knole in Sevenoaks.
This is a lovely place to spend a quiet day.
Knole is the home of the Sackvilles, Vita Sackville being the one that I find very fascinating.
Vita makes a very interesting read.

Well I am now off to tidy the house and water the garden.
Phew.
I am taking a little Blog Break.
I will be visiting you from time to time.
Just not enough hours for me at the moment.
Love to you all.

He is beautiful! Congrats to all.

Summer Blue said...

CONGRATULATIONS Carol to you and your family. Now there must be a law somewhere to say that it is illegal to have such a beautiful family! Finlay is as scrummy as your other grandsons, they all look like they should be appearing in the latest Mini Boden catalogue! Obvioulsy they take after their Granny!!
Take care,
Jane. xx

Louise said...

Now the footies over it must be much quieter in your house. Maybe not, with all those boys! Aah, little Finley George is just the cutest bundle. I also love the photos of your other boys gazing up at the camera. Are they ever tempted to have fights with all your lovely cushions? Knole is another one for my list. Glad you found some time for quiet contemplation! Enjoy your bloggy break, but please don't stay away for too long. x
