Pete Vicarey says (24/01/07 12:37:15): Heard all about you from your mum. I was in the same school year in England, don't know how that works out as I'm only 21 he! he!
Well we were in the same year up until 1973 when she left to go to Ozzie land. Funny thing is she will tell you we do not remember each other, but hey enough about that.
Many congratulations on the birth of your son, I hope in the niciest posible way he does not turn out to be a good Cricketer or Rugby player, remember I am English, you have enough of them for us to contend with.
Another note you must be mad, three children under three you will have your work cut out but enjoy the many years of happiness they will bring to you.
Going on the pictures you all look well and chappy looks a very healthy new addition to your family.
Wishing you all the best
Pete
Pete Vicarey says (24/01/07 12:56:47): What a great start in life for David having a father with such a great first name

Uncle Darren says (24/01/07 08:46:17): Just in case Emma and Maddie are feeling left out (and since their poor over-worked Daddy hasn't been able to setup their own pages yet)... HELLO EMMA AND MADDIE! I hope you like your new little brother! You two look sooooo big compared to David! Have fun!
Nana says (24/01/07 10:01:24): Hello Emma and madeline..Nana is missing you so much..

Peter & girls says (24/01/07 10:05:54): Hi Nana, thanks for coming to check on us every now and then, it's nice to hear from you. Mummy keeps saying she wants you to call her :) The girls have been doing really well and we miss you.
Uncle sam says (24/01/07 10:07:26): Hi deb how is david going? Are you sore? We are going to be on the cruise for 4 more days I am missing you all heaps.Ilove you all heaps.by for now....
Peter says (24/01/07 10:10:08): Hi Lyn, Sam and Peter, is there a number we can call you on? Deb wants to talk with you, She says she's spinning out a bit, and very dizzy at the moment. They've put her on some new pain killers that aren't treating her very nicely.
Debbie says (24/01/07 10:16:30): hi mum. I am missing you soooooo much. I hate that you aren't here to give me a hug and listen to my whinging. I forbid you from going away again. Please stay online and chat or call me. Love deb P.S Tam's house got sold
Peter says (25/01/07 02:12:54): Thanks uncy Steve :)
David Richardson says (25/01/07 07:40:20): Well done Mum (and Dad)from the Richardson's in West Susex, England. Lovely looking little chap and a fine choice of name if I may say so!
Debbie says (25/01/07 08:18:26): Mum, please stay online and chat for a while. I don't have your phone number but would love to talk to my mummy.
Tammy says (25/01/07 08:33:19): Hey Deb, the video is great. Hope you are feeling better today and that you are well rested. Hope Mum contacts you soon!!!! Love you all xxx
Julie says (25/01/07 09:47:24): Hi Deb Darling, I hope you have been able to have a chat to your mum by now. My heart goes out to you sweetheart. I know how you feel when you are feeling like you do and all you can say is "I want my mummy". You need soothing darling and only a mum can do that. But in the mean time I send you a hug and lots of love, and a big hug for our darling little man too. You are loved xx
Debbie says (25/01/07 09:54:15): Hi Julie. I'm being a bit of a whinger sorry. I do miss her, I haven't been able to share any of this with her and it makes me sad. At least I have been surrounded by friends and family, and you have all been great. Should be heading home soon. Will let you know when we get there. Love you, Debbie
Julie says (25/01/07 11:10:49): Deb Darling, you are not a whinger!! You have a need, a vital need, but it cannot be met just now. I can only imagine what feelings your mum will be struggling with right now, knowing you need her and she wants to be with you, but can't be, just yet. It won't be long sweetheart til she will be holding you in her arms, and what a special moment for you both that will be, but until then she is holding you in her heart. I'm glad you feel the love surrounded by friends and other family members, but I also feel that longing ache in your heart that only your mum can fix....I'm going now cos I can't stop crying!!
Peter Herriman says (25/01/07 12:45:28): Hi,
I dropped in on the site, as I follow Pete's messages on the web a bit.
My wife (Jenny) and I love the site.
Great photos and video.

Mum says (25/01/07 03:31:57): Hello darling,are you there?
Mum says (25/01/07 03:42:27): Photos are great...when I get home. I think I will have to holdall the kids for ages to catch up on all that others are having...Keep your chin up darling, I will be home soon...I am counting down the hours.... Iam so looking forward to seeing you and having my beautiful daughter in my arms also....I am so proud of you. I think most people on the ship know that I am a Nana again...I love you....
Tammy says (25/01/07 03:49:26): Mum are you still there?? Wait debs getting on
Debbie says (25/01/07 03:50:21): Wait we're on now
Peter says (25/01/07 04:06:28): :( Looks like we missed her once again. Maybe next time. I might post a video comment for you.
Debbie says (25/01/07 05:25:30): Hi mum, sorry that we got cut off. I tried ringing you back straight away and got to the Purser's office but the call never got forwarded from there.. don't know why. The surgery is nothing urgent... just something to cosmetically make it better, so we have an appointment with a paediatric surgeon for March and they'll give us their recommendation. I can explain it all a bit better when you get home. I'll be waiting for you to come on Sunday. I miss you very much and love you. Sorry we didn't properly say goodbye. We might keep putting some new photos on over the next few days depending on how things are going. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your cruise and I'll see you Sunday. xxx Debbie
Julie says (25/01/07 07:10:03): Welcome home Debbie and David. I hope you settle in well, and get as much rest as you possibly can. Our love to you all,and look forward to seeing you soon. Hugs all round.
Mum says (26/01/07 10:06:31): Thanks Peter for all your work on this site.. Your have made it very good for us...We are having a good time, and would like it to be longer. we are only just starting to get really friendly with some people.. oh well...I want to come home too....Hope you all have alovely day....I love you all Mum x x x
Mum says (26/01/07 10:08:20): Who do you think Dvaid looks like. Its hard to tell from here....
Mum says (26/01/07 10:09:27): Time to go...will come on again later...Love and Kisses to everyone Mum
Debbie says (26/01/07 10:31:20): Hi mum, I think David looks like Madeline a bit... when she was first born. But maybe more Peter but with my chin. I can't really tell either. He was really good last night. Settled really well after every feed. It was hard to get out of bed to him so we ended up putting his cocoon thing in the bed with us. It was a bit chaotic when we first got home from the hospital trying to organise all three of them, but they ended up napping all at the same time so Pete and I had some quiet time for a bit (I'm sure that it won't happen often). David and Maddie are sleeping at the moment, so Emma and I have some time to play together. Who is picking you up from the airport by the way? We just took a nice photo of Emma holding David. I've come up with cold sores all over my mouth, I think it's because of the medications that they have been giving me... they are very big and very sore. It's a bit strange being home again with three kids, but they all seem to be getting along at the moment. Madeline just keeps pointing at David and saying 'baba' then laughing. She's more intrigued at this point than anything else. Anyway.. I'll keep checking for messages and stuff. It would be good if you could arrange a specific time to be online that we could talk so I knew when I had to be here. Love you, Debbie
Peter says (26/01/07 12:43:53): Thanks mum(s!) for being our fan club. It's nice to see our photos and family moments are being shared abroad :)
Peter says (26/01/07 08:47:55): And thanks for letting us know what's broken with links etc :) (ie. Darren & Stephen :) - they're all fixed now as far as I know...)
Darren says (26/01/07 08:47:59): Hi guys... I bet it's strange having 3 kids to look after now! I hope it's really fun, too! Hopefully we can come 'round and visit again soon. Cya!
Darren says (26/01/07 08:48:43): Ahh, much better now Peter! :)
Theresa Shakespeare-Shipp says (27/01/07 08:23:55): Hi Debbie and Peter!
You don't know me but I knew your Mum and your Auntie Linda in England, many years ago. We now live in Canada and it was thanks to your Mum that we all got in touch again just 18 months ago. I'm delighted to have been able to log in and see your Family photos. You all look so proud and happy - Congratulations to all!
Love, Theresa. xx
Julie says (27/01/07 10:57:54): Hi Debbie and Pete, Thinking of you as you settle in to life with all three of our dear little treasures. I hope you are coping with it all. I'm sure Emma and Madeline are enjoying the bonding with little David. Hope you are not too tired and hope Debbie you are resting as much as you can darling. It will be a huge adjustment for you, but we are here if you need us. Sending you all a big hug and all my love xx
Peter says (27/01/07 03:29:20): Little treasures!! Not too tired!! Bonding!! Yeah Madeline's bonding really well, bopping on the head, fingers in his mouth "bub, bub, gag". Emma's bonding more with Madeline, pinching, pushing, biting, bossing. So that all goes nicely with being tired and supporting each other, we're to busy to get agro with each other :) We went to the shops together as a family for the first time today... it took over 2 hours to get going! We'll get there eventually, just like most other families. :)
Chris Braham says (27/01/07 06:34:39): Welcome to David Peter and congratulations to Debbie, Peter, Emma and Madeline on this precious addition to your family.
