May 2010:

Matt and Sal announce new arrival

Congratulations are in order. Cute little bundle of joy, Ellie Rebecca Hirst was born on May 6th 2010, weighing 8 lbs 15ozs. Proud parents Matt and Sal are both looking remarkably well and showing no signs of sleep deprivation. Ellie joins delighted (and somewhat surprised) brothers James (6) and Bradley (9).

The Hirsts would like to thank everyone for their kind cards, messages, gifts and flowers. With family and friends like that, Ellie herself can hardly wait for her 1st birthday.
