Joshua Micheal Russell was born at 0710, 10th June 2014. He weighed a rather hefty 3.97kg (8lb 12). This time, the labour was over pretty quickly! Again, Caroline skipped all the build up, and was fully-dilated when we got to the hospital, and from there the delivery went fairly smoothly. It was tough on Caroline though, because she was low on iron, fluids and sleep before even starting the birth! So she spent one night in hospital recovering.
Thanks everyone for moral support, prayers and well-wishing.
Especially big thanks to Nan-Nan, for already being at our house to look after Oscar! He had lots of fun with walks and ice cream, waiting to meet his baby brother.

We loved seeing Mr & Mrs Lapish getting married. The ceremony and reception
were lovely and lots of fun. The best pics we got are here,
including plenty of Oscar.

Oscar has just turned 6 months old! The time has gone pretty quick, but it’s hard to remember life without him. Except being able to go see a movie before spoilers ruin it.
He’s still not written his first app, but he’s learned a lot since getting yanked into the world. Here’s a quick run through… Read the rest of this entry »

We went to Matthew’s cousin’s wedding at the weekend. We had a lovely time, with beautiful weather, a gorgeous location, and a very intimate wedding service.
Matthew used his iPad, with iPhoto, to give the photos a quick processing,
pick out the favourites, and throw together a Journal, to share with the
family at the barbeque, the day after the wedding. They aren’t very high
res, but the result was pretty pleasing.

Oscar John Russell was born at 0015, 5th February 2012 (by c-section). He weighed in at a hefty 4.28kg (that’s 9 lb 7!). It was a long labour, and very tiring for Caroline, but Oscar was calm and healthy throughout, and Caroline did a tremendous job!
Thanks everyone for moral support, prayers and well-wishing.
Especially big thanks to John, our neighbour, for stepping in where our car failed, to my mum for coming down from Rotherham to help but then being stuck alone for 13 hours in the hospital 🙁 and to the midwives, doctors, anaesthetist and many assistants at The Lister delivery unit that got Oscar out of Caroline safely.
Thanks for joining in our labour!

I’ve borrowed a flash, and this is a shot at a (very dark) Christmas party. I’m pretty pleased that it’s possible to capture a nice portrait, even when it’s pretty much pitch black.
I’ve been reading Strobist, so want to get an off-camera flash. For now, I’m making do with reflecting the flash off something.
Next time, I’ll have to play with the camera more in manual mode, to try and get at least some of the background, and Christmas party atmosphere!
