Jessie has arrived

Stuart and Leia are now the proud parents of Jessica who arrived on Sunday 15 days late. She weighed in at 8lbs 7ozs. Not surprisingly Leia is rather tired. She went through two bottles of nitrous oxide, broke the bed, bit Stuart, but managed without pethidine or an epidural. Stuart's doing the night feeds and his paper round, so he's tired too. Welcome you two to the wonderful world of parenthood!

The DVD reaches a milestone

Just sent out the hundredth copy of the DVD. And we're getting some really positive feedback. One respondent calls it "a brilliant addition to my teaching aids". Another says it's "well put together" and "very inspiring". All of this reflects great credit to the young dads in the film because of their ability to describe their experiences and feelings so articulately.

Are we chuffed?! Even more than Den and Rob appear to be. Here they are, gracing the front cover of the August e-dition of The Source, the UK Youth magazine. We'd like to think that they'd been chosen for their good looks, but we may have got that wrong.

Here's part of the reason - a feature on the use of "the arts" as a means of enabling young people to communicate, with each other and to a wider audience. The article featured several case studies, one of which centred on our film and the media workshops that we ran along side it.

And here's 'our' case study, with Den and Rob looking happy once again. John gets quoted, as does Jackie and there are links to both our blog and Jackie's, as well as info about how people can get hold of the film.

So copy this link or just click to go to THE SOURCE (August 2008 edition) at http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?referral=other&pnum=&refresh=t14A8H0fXm51&EID=09a5efac-0c98-4aa6-ad6a-21ac6c6b6fa2&skip=true
