Welcome Back, Steve.r

[Arthur Little]

... it's GREAT to see you back, my friend ... although, naturally, you're bound to have mixed feelings about it.

How's Charie? And your parents ... after THEIR experience of a lifetime?

We're very much looking forward to reading your latest update.

The good looking one of course Keith

Thanks for the welcome back guys,
I have had a great time away visiting my family back in Phils. Of course very sad to be back here in the Uk again, but nice to refresh my batteries being home with my expectant wife. My Parents also really enjoyed their experience.
We arrived at Manila airport and after finding all of our luggage we made it outside, then down the slope. We waited outside the duty free shop by the crossing for Charie to arrive. After about ten minutes her uncle's minibus arrived and Charie jumped out looking absolutely stunning (bump and all) She ran into my arms and a wanted to squeeze her so tight, but the bump got in the way, I cant describe how I felt seeing her, but any man who can remember this stage of pregnancy will know what I mean, she was beautiful. Charie was clutching a bouquet of flowers for my Mum and as I let her go to say hello face to face for the first time with my parents I knew they would get on like a house on fire.
From the first minutes it was just smiles and laughter all the time and that was the way the whole holiday was to go on. I have more new on the baby front, but will tell more as soon as I can so please bare with me.
I will try to post up some photos soon, but I am still catching up on being home again and tired from work today.

Welcome home Steve !

Glad you all had a good trip, and can't wait to hear all about it.

I have taken the liberty of re~opening this thread, because - if an 's memory serves me correctly - you're currently en route back to Blighty!

I deliberately avoided using the word 'home' ... knowing full well that "home is where the lies" (none more than yours!) - so the main purpose of this post is to lighten, what one might reasonably expect, will be a rather heavy at again being forced to leave your loved ones, Charie & Vincent behind in the Phils ... albeit temporarily.

However ... in every OTHER sense ...

... a warm awaits you, Steve.

I second that Arthur

A big welcome back steve r
