Welcome Home, Mom

My Mom gets home tomorrow after the longest-awaited hip replacement surgery in the history of the NHS.

To celebrate, Charlie put together this picture, showing his Grandma chasing him and Lily through the garden, while Ruairi sleeps in his car seat.

Charlie's been running like a nutter since he first figured out how to get himself around. For three quarters of his five years on this planet, he's been running, skipping, dancing through our home. For more than half that time, his Grandma's been unable to play chase with him and his sister without suffering excruciating pain.



This is a happy day.

Welcome home, Mom - and get well soon so you can come over here to play.

We love you and miss you very, very much.
