Many thankyou cards to write

Fiona and I are still working through the many thankyou cards we have to send out to family and friends. We have been absolutely overwhelmed with flowers, cards, gifts, and calls from many many people. It is hard work but we are slowly getting through them all and have sent off the first batch of cards today.

We have incuded our first family shot here. We set up a digital camera on a tripod and then took about 30 shots trying to get both our heads in the shot with little Samantha smiling..........talk about difficult........Sam cried and wriggled the whole time.........anyway here it is and we hope you like it enought to put on the fridge or mantle piece somewhere!

Samantha Clare is 5 weeks old today!

Unbelievable.........little Samantha is 5 weeks old today!!....we are all doing well.

Mother and daughter are currently having their afternoon nap which allows Dad some time to catch up on house chores, do some cleaning, washing, grocery shop online etc etc.

I will continue to post photos to our FlickR account online which shows little Sammy week by week and lets any family members print these shots off directly.

I will use this blog to record other details about Samantha Clare to keep all across the globe informed of her progress. I am reliably informed this interest in endless photos will not last but am enjoying it for the moment.

Sam is in good health. We had out first visit to the Doctor last week. She is currently about 3.7kg and a whopping 55cm in length.......huge feet too!!

Fiona and I are currently in the process of writing thankyou cards to everybody who has sent us cards and best wishes.........it is a very long list. Here are some other shots taken last week...
