Paul and I didn't want to disturb the new family, so we waited very patiently for a good time to visit. That time was yesterday. We finally got to meet Jenson, although he wasn't nearly as excited about meeting us as we were about meeting him. Haha!
We brought some Red Hill cheese and nibbles for lunch and a bottle of champagne to toast Jenson's safe arrival and sat outside in the lovely weather and chatted, ate and drank, while baby Jenson slept through it all. I also brought practically a year's supply of frozen lasagne for Ali and Carter from a big cook up I had last weekend. I hoped that they didn't think I thought they were incompetent and that it would give them more time together as a family. Fingers crossed!
My camera came along too and I did the paparazzi thing. One day he'll be big enough to run away from the camera, but until then, he's gonna have to put up with my lens in his face.
So here are the pics...

"I'm not in this photo am I?!"
So you can probably tell from the photos that I think he's pretty cute. It was great to see Ali and Carter again and it was a really fun afternoon. I look forward to spending more time like that together in the future. Lets hope the weather doesn't get too hot too fast so it's not completely unbearable to catch the train in the middle of the day!!
Beautiful photos R, and what a lovely friend you are, they would have loved the food its a huge help!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, great to see them both again ... although it was only 2 weeks prior that we last saw them! lol But how things have changed for them since!! Ali looked great and both Ali and Carter were happy and relaxed, I am really happy for them both. Oh yeah, and Jenson is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures show how cute the baby is.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous! I am Ali's oldest sister and it is so nice to see the pictures--there can never be too many. And there is NO such thing as too much lasagne (plus A&C are not as competent as they pretend to be =) Isiah, Caroline and I miss them desperately so thank you for making our day--LOVE all of the photos! Glad they have such good friends in AUS! Liza
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah and Angela.
ReplyDeleteHi Liza. Thanks for your lovely comments!
Paul, you're right. Ali and Carter were both very relaxed and happy. Parenting suits them.
