Christian Missionaries

Okay so it has been a long time since I have updated this blog. It has been great watching Marco and Cinzia keeping up the updates from Sicily, however, I really have not had time. So what's been going on? Firstly we have had a son - hooray!

Isaac Joshua Western was born at 3am to the second on Saturday the 1st April 2006. He is doing well and is healthy. Andrea is doing fine and it has been great taking him out in his buggy, walking him to the shops and on the bole hills. He is soooo gorgeous. And yes I know I will be biased, but look at him - he is amazing.

I've still not got the hang of the crying, nor of the nappies - man they are grim. Andrea is amazing always calm when I panic with him crying - she is a fantastic mum. We've had Andrea's parents and her sisters and brother visiting and also my mum, too. My dad and mum will come and visit this weekend and all our friends are being amazing - we have had so many gifts and cards and loads of people offering to cook us meals. A massive thankyou to all of you.

Up until just a week or so before the birth we had been living with some great friends of ours John and Liz. The plan when we got back to England was for me to look for some work and Andrea and I to get the house sorted asap - plastering, tiling, painting , carpets etc.

However, God had other plans and I got a job almost straight away with an amazing company called TechnoPhobia. They are a web design and consultancy firm based in the Workstation in Sheffield. This has meant that Andrea has done most of the work on the house which looks fantastic.
