Hi ho lovely people!
I thought you should know my most wonderful news – that hubby and I welcomed a daughter into our family, born six weeks ago now. Perhaps I’ll share her birth story with you sometime – it was quite an adventure!
She is an absolute treasure and we spend way too much time staring at her round little face, wondering how it was that God bestowed such a gift on us. Every so often, we also wonder when she’ll stop crying, how we’re going to survive on so little sleep and if we’re doing this right. But mostly, we just gape at her in parental awe!
I’ve taken a bit of maternity leave to give us some space to get into a groove of feeding and sleeping and being a family of four. Just thought you should know. It means that you won’t see my Keeping the Faith column in The Examiner Newspaper for the next four weeks. I’ll be back to normal in August.
Have a wonderful July!

Genuine best wishes from your awful critic; Neil xo
I’m so pleased for you!
May your family grow in the character of Christ and be surrounded by His fragrance.
Don’t worry about the crying, Claire. The Lord may require this for her to develop an opera voice! In any event, it won’t last long and before you know it, she’ll be going to school.
Abundant blessings,
Roger
Congratulations Claire.
