Little Lee has a name! - Isaac Michael Lee!

Isaac means laughter and is a very fitting name for this little baby! Here are a couple more photo's for you to see Sam enjoying his brother and giving him his first cuddles. Doesn't he look truly excited, so lovely to see! What a fine family you have Monique.

Omelet: 5 Eggs, 1 Tbspn sugar, pinch of salt - Fry into an omelet

Tuna: 185g tin of tuna, 1/4 onion finely chopped, 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 Tbsp Lite Best Foods Mayo
