we returned home this evening from our week away over the christmas break, just in time to see the new year in (although who are we kidding, we will both be asleep by midnight!!).
The weather here is very cold, frost covering all that we were driving past and now has settled in for the night. But its good to be home. Safe in the knowledge that our fourth baby will be born a northerner like its siblings and not a southerner like its parents!!! But we have had a lovely time, meeting up with friends and family, meeting new babies and catching up with some very dear friends. It has been a rich blessing of a week, with of course lots of gorgeous food and willing grandparents on hand to be playmates to our very over excited children.
I cannot write a post on new years eve without dedicating it to my fabulous little girl, Poppy. Who three years ago today joined our family. She had a birthday breakfast at my parents before we left which she proclaimed to be 'the best birthday party ever!" and tomorrow we are taking her to build a bear for some retail therapy of the stuffed animal kind. We love her bucket loads and she is our baby for just a few more weeks. She is feisty, argumentative, affectionate, easily scared, can be deadly serious but has the most infectious, incredible giggle. Just very thankful for her presence in our lives…..
Happy Birthday Miss Poppy Grace…
Happy New Year to the wonderful James family and Happy Birthday to precious Poppy. So glad you had a fab Christmas. Also very glad you are home, we get to hang out with you all again – hooray!
With much love,
