It was so nice to leave the cold and rainy weather of London and head across the sea to Wilmington. After a horrendously long journey I finally arrived on Friday at lunchtime. I saw Fiona, Lucy & Henry waiting for me and I ran up and grabbed Lucy for a big hug.
It's amazing how tall Lucy is and she has a f
unny little accent, with some words sounding super American. Henry is GORGEOUS!!! I couldn't stop hugging and kissing him, although he is massive for an 8 month old and very heavy but such a pleasant little thing!
What followed was a lovely week of relaxing, playing with the kids and hanging out with Fiona 
& Andrew. We even made it to the beach one day as it was soooo hot although the water was way too cold to actually swim.T
hen it was Easter Sunday! The day of Henry's baptis
m. Andrew's parents & brother Michael showed up so it was nice to see them as well. I got some lovely chocolates from the Thoms, then it was time to head off to church for a morning service. After the service we headed back to the house and started to prepare for the baptism and pizza party after. 
The ceremony was lovely and Fiona's friend J
enny sung a couple of songs which was so beautiful. After the baptism Andrew fired up the oven and everyone starting making their own personalised pizzas. It was a lovely afternoon, weather was perfect and everyone was so friendly. I think we finished about 11ish and then it was straight to bed as I was exhausted!
After trying to stuff everything back into my suitcase I finally managed to sit on it and do up the zip! A nice afternoon followed of more pizzas and sitting around the backyard relaxing. Lots of hugs and kisses later and I was off to the airport for the trip home.I finally arrived home on Tuesday afternoon! Now ready to plan the next trip!
