It’s a Boy!

11.09.2008 We are delighted to announce the addition of a new family member at CENTURY 21 Westside! Last Friday evening Phill’s wife, Michelle gave birth to a healthy baby boy – Darcy Phillip Broom! After a brief stay at the state of the art Mater Mother’s Hospital, Phill, Michelle and Darcy have returned home to make a new life together as a family. For those of you have been fortunate enough to experience the miracle of bringing a new person into the world, you will no doubt join me for a collective “aaahhh” at the thought of the joy that Phill and Michelle must be feeling right now, and at how fortunate Darcy is to have been born into such a loving home. When I was speaking with Phill earlier, I asked if he had enjoyed any “fast-asleep-on-your-chest” moments with Darcy, and when he replied in the affirmative, I nearly shed at tear at the memory of such simple pleasures! I don’t think it matters who you have talked to or how many books you’ve read, nothing can prepare you for the roller coaster of emotions that the birth of your first child can evoke. As Phill so eloquently put it on the fourth day of Darcy’s life, “I think this is the most stressful thing I’ve ever done! If only I could negotiate with the little fella!” and for a man with an extraordinarily high tolerance for stress, that’s quite a statement! One of the benefits of being such a cohesive team, is that Phill has been able to step away from the office the instant Michelle went into labour, and the business has continued seamlessly. It’s one of the aspects of our business that we pride ourselves on - being able to deliver consistently to our clients through all weathers. We wish him and Michelle all the best as they get into a new routine in life, and we anticipate having Phill back on deck again towards the end of the month. So, on behalf of the whole team at CENTURY 21 Westside, a heartfelt congratulations to Phill and Michelle, and we look forward to seeing Darcy in a gold jacket at an open home soon! Until next week…
