I'm going to save space on my Flickr account and just point you to Wayne's photo site to see the rest of the wedding photos. He has a few already uploaded and should be uploading another 200 (seriously!) of Tim's soon (I'll let you know when they are up).
Just click on this image and it will take you to the Wedding pics:

Friday night saw a group of Kristin's aunts, uncles and cousins who were down for the wedding come over for a bbq. It was great to catch up and good for Gerard to say g'day for he was quite busy on his wedding day and would already be on his Honeymoon on Sunday.
Saturday, D-Day. We had a nice start to the day and the Groomsmen all had a swim (with a few swinging floating devices, watch that face Gerard!!) and a shot of Port (or something, I'll edit this bit when Tim writes a comment to tell me what it was) to calm the nerves.
Everyone made it to the church on time and the Bride was even a minute or two early! The storm started with some rumbling just as the beautiful Bride was walking down the isle. The ceremony itself was very nice with Charlotte (I've made it this far without mentioning her) charming the pants off everyone and letting out a few trademark laughs. It all went smoothly with a few shaking hands and plenty of tender moments (awwww).
The reception was at Avondale Golf Club where, for the trivia hounds out there, mum was married the first time over 35 years ago and had not been back since and also my great grandfather Philip Howard Goldfinch was a chief founding member. It was laid out well and had a very comfy 'country club' feeling to it. Being MC on the night it would be silly of me to say that it didn't run well, but from the feedback I got (I mean really, who's going to say you did a crap job) it was a success! They had a live band with singers and they were definitely a huge hit (and they were the backup plan!)
I got mum on the case to figure out where Gerard & Briar were going for their Honeymoon (they wouldn't tell us!), all we had was that they had to have a soft bag and could not carry over 12kgs. From this mum figured that it would have to be a helicopter flight somewhere and one of the only places that you would have to take a helicopter to is Heron Island... and she was right!
Sunday was going to be a small gathering of family for a brunch but to Valerie's surprise, Peter (with Kristin's help) had arranged for 60 or so of her friends, colleagues and family to arrive to celebrate her 50th! Mum was catering for the brunch and she did a stellar job. On offer was the usual Champagne & orange juice, muesli, fruits and juices but the topper was the marinated tomato, pancetta, fontina cheese and basil on Turkish bread toasted on the bbq, yum!!!
Last night was another quite catchup with a few of the remaining relos, and an early night for all!!
Pics to come, keep an eye out for Tim's update with pics (there may just be one of me ;) ).

We don't have a free weekend till at least April.
This can only mean one thing... well it can mean a lot of things but I will only tell you one of them, there will be a lot of blogging and a numerous pics!!
The bridal party was over last night for some Tandoori Chicken after the rehearsal for Gerard & Briar's wedding this Saturday. Fun times had by all and the chicken went down a treat as usual. Unfortunately the O'Brien's got the leftovers (I'm sure I could have grabbed some if I was smart enough) but on the plus side, we are having a BBQ at work today so no loss really.
Last Monday was Valentines Day as well as Valerie's 50th Birthday!! To celebrate the whole family, minus Anna (Peter, Valerie, Felix, Kristin, Gerard, Wayne, Phil, Briar & Charlotte) went to Lavender Blue in Mcmahons Point. A very nice night with a few good wines and some very nice food. It did feel a bit weird to be a table of 8 and a half in a restaurant of couples!
More updates to come :)

I think we can now say that Charlotte is crawling. She is up on her knees and gets a few movements before flopping. She is a master at the 'commando crawl' and if you sit her up, she can get herself back down into crawling mode (not just by falling back).
(more progress reports to come when they happen)

Had a wonderful time up with my parents last Friday, then on to Cypress Lakes for Kristin's works 2nd Annual Bash. Golf was not so successful but a lot of fun and the party on the Saturday night was a lot of fun (Hawaiian theme). We left Charlotte in the care of my parents for the night (first time we have left her overnight) and all went well.
So all in all we had a nice weekend... I can't say the same for the beginning of my week. In American Football I support 3 teams (hey, there are 30 teams so picking 3 isn't too many ;) ) Eagles, Broncos & Packers. One of my teams, the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl this year and lost by a field goal :(
Charlotte loves food time (mostly) and her fav thing to do these days? Sticking her feet up onto the tray:
