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!

....and still more shoes...

The next Miss (or Mrs.) Northern Ireland!
