Baby Richie turns one!!! Part1

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

BABY RICHIE

May 21st

****
All I can say is that it was a great honour for me to meet you guys (girls, mostly! but I don't forget Armand here, the Dad of this blog!). I hope we can make it for another year (and actually other yearsssss) with our lovely Captain (whatever his results!)

This blog has become more and more popular thanks to (mostly) Richie's teams (whatever the name : Canterbury, Crusaders or All Blacks) so thank you very much to Richie's team-mates (even if it's not THEIR blog!)

Good to have met great people here, chatting with you and keeping in touch (God Bless Bebo, MSN and Yahoo!!!)

And last but not least, thank you to mister William W. Ellis for creating rugby, a sport without which our lives would be empty ; so Bill-Will (whatever) thanks a lot for taking that football ball into your arms and having scored the first try ever in rugby History!

Happy Birthday Baby Richie ; and wish our Champ' all the best for the rest of this 2007 season.

There was a man called Richie McCaw

He had all the women around him in awe

So a blog was formed a year ago today

Where we all now come to say G’day

We leave our messages and share our perve

So thank you Maryl praises sent that you really deserve

and of course we can’t forget Mr McCaw

for being the sexiest and best player of all

I tend to post from time to time however that's kind hard because the only time that I can be on everyone is not. All I can say is thank-you for creating such a wonderful blog. Thanks to it I have met people that I would not have met if the blog did not exist. Thank-you for taking the time to update it and for posting such wonderful pictures and articles.

I would also like to thank all the other ladies for posting and for keeping the blog fun and entertaining. Between the snakes and tongue jokes and all the sexy Richie pictures strong bonds and friendship have blossomed. We have become more than posters on a blog, we have become friends. Richie gets some of the credit because were it not for him we would not have met. But most of the credits go to the ladies for being such a strong support group. We have come to share our happiness, anger, anguish, and frustration and someone is always there to listen. Everyone is very supportive of one another and to me that is priceless. So once again thank-you for creating such a wonderful blog.

I'm only as strong as the caffeine I drink, the hair spray I use and the girlfriend I have. What would most us do without our sisters,confidants,shopping, and lunching girlfriends? Here is to you my friends: Lissie, Rose, Camelia, MaryL, Gillian, Anne-Sophie, Jo, Jain, Izzy, Cass and everyone else who posts on the blog. And thank-you Richie for being such a wonderful athlete.

From Izzy (our local spy)

She sent us a cartoon by Murray Webb (whose work you can find on the Internet www.stuff.co.nz in the cartoon gallery )

What do you think about it?

I prefer the real one, but it's true to say that this man did a great job!
