Bad Back....

Please Pray for Jonny at this time, he has hurt his back and is finding it hard to sit, stand and walk. As we have a few meetings next week we would pray Jonny would be feeling much better by then.

Day out.....


This week we had the chance to go out with Jonny's family in Belfast. We had booked to go up in the big wheel in belfast and then have lunch together. It was a great day out and a chance to eat some more! From the photo you will see the proud grandparents and Jackson and Ben. Ben slept most of the way through it but Jackson seemed to enjoy himself. It has been great getting to know him since we have come home and you can see from this picture he is getting big. He was able to show us at Christmas he can stand on his own, and can walk with someone holding his hand!

Gary & Rhondas' wedding


Gary, who was in Mexico with us, got married on Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding, although because Jonny had hurt his back we didnt think we were going to make it. At 11am we were at the doctor on call! We have included a picture of the happy couple and we wish them all the best in the future together and we look forward to meeting up with them when they return from honeymoon.

Bens' First Christmas


This has been a very exciting Christmas for us. It has been great to be at home with family and friends, but also for Ben to have his first Christmas. To be honest he was a bit overwhelmed by it all, but as you can see from the photo he also enjoyed sleeping throughout alot of it!

The last few weeks...

The last few weeks have been busy running up to Christmas, and now that meetings have finished until the New Year we have decided to post some pictures that have been making us laugh!

"You're not going out with your hair like that are you?"


"I have to buy how many people Christmas presents? I have no money on me!"


"I hope these slippers don't bite!"


Happy Christmas


It could be so easy to get caught up at this time of the year with the shopping,eating and general rush. It's important to take a few minutes out to realise the true meaning of Christmas. We were hearing on Sunday morning about how Jesus came to earth at this time. However even more importantly is that Jesus died for us so that we can have eternal life. Our prayer is that you will know the true meaning of Christmas this year.

Happy Christmas!

From Jonny, Julie and Ben xo

8 weeks old on Christmas Day...


It's hard to believe that Ben will be 8 weeks old on Christmas day. He is getting bigger every day and has now started to smile and laugh. Now that he is 8 weeks he is going for his injections next Tuesday! From these photos you will see how big he is getting - and that lovely smile!

Granny and Granda Pollock


It doesnt matter when Ben goes to Granny & Granda Pollock's, he always comes home with something! He gets lots of cuddles too, which he loves. Here he is modelling some of his Christmas clothes his Granny got him.

Playmat...


Ben loves his playmat! Every morning he comes down stairs and has some Daddy time. He seems to love the Mozart and also the mirror - I wonder who he gets that from!

It's just like being in the car...

One of the best gifts Ben ever received was from his Aunt Christine and Uncle Craig. This chair vibrates and apparently just like being in the car - which means only one thing - peaceful sleep!

Cheese...

We have been applying for a passport for Ben this last week, and it came time to take Ben's passport photo. It was a bit of a nightmare to try and get him not to wiggle, yawn, sneeze or cry. So finally we took his picture when it was safest - when he was sleeping!
