Family Fun in Portrush

My Mom and Aunt came over and we all had a wonderful time - the sun was on our side and shone for us to see some of the spectacular sights of the North Coast. The wind, on the other hand, was all around and even blew Emma over as she was collecting shells!

Dunluce Castle - never fails to impress!

I love this photo - capturing a beautiful afternoon at the beach - a daddy and his "wee ones"

Me and my little man just hanging out...

Two babes at the Giant's Causeway!

Jesse's little piece of heaven!

Pure innocence and cuteness!

My baby is 3!

Everyone warned me they would grow quickly - but I am still amazed it happens! My baby just celebrated her 3rd birthday! But she did it in style with a Wizard of Oz themed party. Admittedly, these photos won't be winning any photo competitions, but I couldn't let this event pass without displaying a few from it...

The invitations...

Crawford Gang

"If the family were a fruit it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but seperable - each segment unique." - L.C. Pogrebin

I have been kept very busy with all of these gorgeous tots...Ollie would just break your heart with his cuteness! And he is so lucky to have 3 wondeful sisters and a brother to help look after him. Thank you to all of the Crawfords - it was a pleasure!

Fun on the Farm!

Streamvale farm - a haven for children! Madeleine - chief babysitter - was a star with Emma and Jack and showed them all the animals and even took them on the wagon and a barrell ride (which Jack just adored!) Thanks Madeleine - we had a brilliant day and couldn't have done it without ya!

Gently stroking the bunny just before Jack poked it in the eye and wacked it on the head - oops!

Emma in her element feeding the kid goat

They were more brave than me getting near to those pecking chickens!

Lil' trucker Jack - so pleased with himself!

Sweet Cain

I was thrilled to meet this gorgeous boy. You could jump into those eyes and go for a swim! I think Cain's parents will be buying him a huge bag of balls - he just couldn't get enough of them!

A Wonderful Mother's Day

Last weekend was Mother's Day in Belfast and it really was a wonderful day spent with my family. Not only did I have a HUGE sleep in, I spent a lovely afternoon in Stormont Park enjoying the gorgeous weather and my darlings - John and Jesse included in that! Can I milk it for Canadian Mother's Day too??

The poster boy for the Irish Rugby Team...

Who is afraid of the Big Bad Wolf...

This view alone is why I love Stormont!

The Gorgeous Gillan Girls

Meet Ava and Lois - two of the trendiest girls in Belfast and so full of life! It was easy to capture their wee characters - they were both so full of them! Thanks girls - you were great fun!
