Dad's Birthday

When I was thinking about moving to Hong Kong, a lot of people said to me "it's only a plane trip away if you ever need to or want to come home for anything". 

So I did.

I decided that Dad's 70th birthday, plus a big family get-together, was important enough for me to come home for the weekend.  I couldn't bear the thought of not being there for it!

So I went home last weekend and it was really worth the long, tiring overnight flights.  The best bit was surprising Dad - he was so pleased I was there too.

It was good to catch up with lots of aunties and uncles, and to have lots of cuddles with Matthew.  He is such a happy, gorgeous baby!  (Check out his shirt - Elizabeth thinks it is very funny to dress him in that when I'm around!)

Now starts the 3 month countdown till the next visit...
