John is 2 years old

John William Monk was 2 years old on January 11th 2007, exactly 2 years after his birth here in Phuket in 2005. Jamie (his father) and Jurirat (his mother) wonder where the time has gone. I am reaching the time of life when I really wish time would slow down. You only have this time once. John will only be 2 once. Jessica will only be 5 once. I spend way too much time working and sometimes I feel I don't have enough time for my family. I imagine many people feel the same at some point in life.

We had a little party for John a couple of days after his birthday and invited the usual suspects. It was not a huge party like we had for Jessicas 5th, but then John is not at school yet, so we have less friends to invite! He'll start school in 2008.

We are so lucky to have John and Jessica. I really must not moan about working. After all, we are living in Thailand, not Grimsby (sorry to any Grimsby-lovers), life is actually sweet.

Here's some photos of the birthday.
