Nothing sparkles quite like Crystal !

Well almost nothing, perhaps diamonds but we need to wait a little longer for that one. Yesterday we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. I know, hard to believe that much time has already passed. That day seems so long ago now, a hot summer afternoon in Northampton when I had significantly more hair, and some room to spare on the waistline. How far we have all come in the meantime! Our big trip to Colombia for Sebastian became our gift to each other, although we have just booked our 10 day ‘excursion’ to San Andres island for August 18th which will be a belated celebration and gift to ourselves. The beach at last!

The young lad is eating up a storm at the moment, we cannot get enough into him during the day to get him sleeping through the night, although his teeth are also bothering him a lot right now. We have a swing and jolly jumper at the house which he is using, and enjoying, check it out! I think the lad may also have Harries ears bless him!

  1. Hello to the Fab Four: This is the third attempt at posting to your blog. Me thinks you have hit the jackpot again with Sebastian. Seb is busy, you say. It might be pay back time for you Garath. Tried to warn you...boys are definitely different. Raising a hyperactive son as well....I knew from experience. You are sounding so happy. Some things are definitely worth waiting for. Missed you at the Harries barbeque. Can hardly wait for Sebastian's coming home to Canada party. Love to our Princess and big Harries welcome and hug to our newest addition to this every expanding family. Good work guys. We love you. Love Margaret and Jack and John and Kelly + Samatha and Taylor who watched in awe at the video of Sebastian. xoxoxo

  3. Hi there,
    Happy Anniversary.
    Well I was told tonight that Rosemary is missing her best friend. I was also told in the movie store that we never ever needed to rent Cinderella again, b/c Charlotte has the movie! It is a funny age. Tonight was movie night and we watched Barbie Mariposa, missing our friend.
    We're so jealous of your beach holiday. Enjoy every moment, including the sand eating incidents. Big kisses to the little guy and when you get home, tell Charlotte that the princess outfit are hanging up just waiting for her.
    All the best,
    Alison/Alex/Rosemary and Nicola

  4. Hi Harries Family
    the pictures are fantastic Well done Garath. Charlottle looks so cool as a big sister. She looks happy with him asleep on her knee.
    It is an adjustment for everyone to share ask Sarah and Geof..We can tell you a few tales...although they share much better now they are in their 30's Ha Ha
    Just wait Charlottle till he gets a little older. I know you cousin Seth loves to tease Adele all the time. Bryn will soon have to share with her little sister come January.
    Photos are great and love all your adventures. Have a good time in San Andres.
    Congratulations on your 15th anniversary.
    Look so forward to a family reunion with the Harries clan in the fall when you return although you might be sick of travelling by then. Never the less we love you all. Higs and kisses to everyone

    Love
    David ,Eve and Simon

  5. Happy Anniversary GandE - definitely one to remember!
    The beach looks gorgeous, and our little trip to Lake George this coming week pales in comparison. None the less, we’re all looking forward to a family vacation. Hopefully, we’ll have some internet access and be able to follow along (and live vicariously) on your adventures.

    Miss you all.
    The FarkaFisch Family

  6. A baby and an Anniversary! You sure do a lot.
    Congratulations on both - it all looks amazing, especially the beach. Sebastian is adorable, can't wait to see him. Will he support Villa or Man Utd?
    love
