A new baby...
Hi all

As some of you will recall my wife suprised me with the news she was pregnant just 4 months after I finished chemo. Well I'm happy to report that I have another beautiful daughter. We have called her Caitlin. All the family doing well although life has become even more hectic with a new baby and a recently turned two year old.

Life rolls on.

Cheers

Mike
