So on September 13th this little bundle arrived on our doorstep having cried the entire 30 minute drive to get to us! The poor little guy was understandably distressed and we were understandably slightly overwhelmed but our first longer-term foster baby had arrived! Dugald and I had planned to go out that night - we had received too many phone calls in the past asking if we would take a baby only to have CYFS find a family member at the last minute which meant we changed all our plans for naught - so when young Ricky arrived at dinner time it was a bit of a scramble finding food for us and for him and canceling the sitter and letting our friends know and so on, but totally worth it. This little three-day-old has brought us much joy!

After having Ricky only a few days it was time for Grandparents Day at Marsden. Auntie Diana happily stood in for the girls since their grandparents couldn't make it - and being an Old Girl herself it was quite special to have her there. She went to chapel, saw the girls in their classrooms and watched a show then had lunch. It was a lovely morning and Ricky was very good and slept through most of it.
