Another April Shower

Last Saturday 18th April we didn't just have one type of "shower" as described in our previous post....we had another shower...

Our wonderful friends threw a "Wedding Shower" for us as they told us we couldn't possibly get married without being "Showered"!

Hayley, Meghan & Stephanie organised a wonderful evening for us from the delightful invitations to delicious dinner and everything else they so kindly did to give us a fantastic evening. Thank you wonderful friends!

April Showers

Last Saturday, 18 April, we didn't just have April showers, well we think we had them all in all one as we had some major rain.....

But we didn't just have lots of rain. There was also much wind, thunder and lightening resulting in lots of flooding. You can see from these photos just how much water there was....

Such was the extent of the storm, which included Tornado warnings, our friends nicknamed it "Hurricane Mike" (as in "Hurricane Ike's" little brother!).

Count the Candles

Last week was Adam's birthday, which was suitably celebrated in many forms. Of course, the birthday boy had to have a birthday cake. Can you count the candles?

We also popped a few corks and raised our glasses "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM"

Tri Tri Tri...Triathlon for Claire

On Saturday 4 April Claire took part in, and successfully completed her first triathlon! The Lonestar Triathlon was held at the Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas. It consisted of a 500 metre ocean swim.....

After the swim and on the way to....

the 12.5 mile cycle ride....

and last but not least a 3.1 mile run....

Claire loved every minute of it. But of course, she could not have done it without the 110% of Adam as official cheerer, mechanic, motivator, photographer and all round wonderful supporter. Thank you also to Megan who also got up long before sunrise to cheer Claire on!
