Such an amazing amount has happened.... I guess the biggest even is that Michelle went into labout 6 weeks early and Henry James Alan was born on Sunday 9th September by emergency section. I couldn't wait to see him; he's just gorgeous - so sweet and perfectly formed ... but miniature. It felt weird walking down those corridors without being pregnant myself and it took a huge effort stop thinking whether there should be a 5th Kidd!! .... BUT NOOOOO!

| Henry is just so gorgeous - it's such a miracle - never fails to amaze me! |
2 days before that, it was little Martha's birthday - big girl two!! As her birthday fell on a Friday, we obviously had to have fish and chips or Thomas just would not have been able to pull through! .....(if I had EVER imagined 1. that our lives would have been so dominated by "fish and chips on Friday" and 2. the pure joy and intense relief when the big"M" pops into view on long journeys .... I just would not have believed it ... or I would have passed out in horror! ... but there it is!) We had a lovely low key party with Granny and Jack and all Ann Dean's family. Martha was full of fun as always and sang along happily before blowing out her candles.
