The wedding of the year - Morgan/Heyworth

After months of planning the week before the big day had arrived. I'd said my goodbyes to Mark and Felicity and  I was heading back home to begin preparations for Anna's wedding. I was so excited on so many levels. Firstly I was able to get 6 nights of unbroken sleep, which is the longest time Felicity and I have spend apart.  I was able to catch up with some great old friends and have some valuable time with my family.

The wedding started on Friday 5th August for me. Helping getting the marquee sorted with the best man.

And after a week in Bolton and welcomed back Mark and Felicity we moved up to number one for the wedding weekend. Here are some of the photos we took of the special day.

Getting ready for the big day. Helping Daddy to ensure his camera is ready to catch the special moment.

These bring a tear to my eyes every time I look at them. Such a lovely moment for me.

After such a busy day. There is nothing else for it, but to eat ice cream, go for a walk and have a sleep.

Trip to the uk - Last 2 weeks in July

After a busy 10 days and having moved all our belongings out of our rental we boarded the aeroplane to the UK for my twin sisters wedding and Mark's 3 month Sabbatical in Devon.

After a road trip with Keith, Margaret, Jasper, Sue, Bill and Daddy we arrived in Rhosoclyn to be Welcomed by Granny and Grandad. And on the rare occasion that Felicity has both sets of grandparents with her we took a picture. This picture it seems though only showed to a few times Felicity is kin to see continuously. So a trip to Officeworks to print it out is in order I think. :-)

After a long trip from Australia and a quick catch up with parents it was time to say our goodbyes to the Farrell family and daddy, as he was off to a conference in Bangor and settle down to a girls week in Rhoscolyn with Granny and Granddad. We even got a visit from Aunty Anna.

Bird watching with Granddad was a great hit with Felicity. She still talks about the birds now in grandparents gardens. Even at 3 she's noticed that birds in Australia are more colourful.

The week ended with a baby shower for Eira in Menia Bridge before saying my goodbyes to Mark and Felicity and heading back to Rhosoclyn for Wedding preparations. Mark and Felicity on the other hand were on their way for a week with Gran and Gramps.

Mark and Felicity's week with Gran and Gramps looked a  bit like this.
