Back again!

Well, darling Baby Kay, we have had a very busy Easter weekend, and this is the first chance I have had to post to your blog since last Thursday. I can't believe it has been nearly a week; the time just whizzes past and all of a sudden we are halfway through another month.

We have had a lovely extended weekend - Daddy was off work on Monday and Tuesday, and having the 3 of us together all day was just perfect. On Good Friday we just had a quiet day together, and dropped in some chocolate Easter bunnies to R&N next door. Saturday was bright and sunny in the morning, so while Daddy played golf you and I went over to Moygashel to meet Nanny and Grandad for lunch. They had great fun pushing you round the lovely Linen Green stores, and feeding you your strawberries and bananas at lunchtime. You even tried the lasagne with some success - I prefer that you have what we are having rather than carrying the little jars with me, because so many places are funny about heating up your own food if you ask them! You're wonderful about trying most food anyway so it isn't a problem!

On Sunday we went to church, and this week you managed the entire service without having to be slipped quietly (or more usually very noisily!) out the back door! You were just starting to get a bit pipped at the last, but a lot of loud singing in the last hymn covered it up! On Monday we had a quiet family day together again, just puttering around the house - we called over to the bowling green for the opening barbeque and to watch the little competition they were having. Daddy isn't planning to bowl this year, but I am hoping to get out for a few games on a Thursday if I can squeeze my way back onto the Mid-Ulster league team - will have to get some practice in though, I haven't thrown a bowl since I was 12 weeks pregnant with you!!

Today we headed up to Newry to the shops, which were busy and loud and packed with people up from the South keen to take advantage of the great exchange rate! We didn't last long, and came home having just got you a few little pairs of summery leggings for the (hopefully!) summery weather that should be coming down the line.

You are fast asleep now, and I am just going to make me and Daddy a cup of tea and enjoy the last of our weekend with Daddy before he goes back to work tomorrow. Sweet dreams my little princess x x

Welll that sounds like a perfect long weekend! How nice to be able to relax for a few days and spend time with family! This week will fly by for you and your girl! Who by the way looks as adorable as ever! All of a sudden she seems to be looking a bit older and cute as can be!! Hope you enjoy a wonderful week ahead of you ! Hopefully the weather is warming up a bit and you can spend more time outdoors!

Take care! I will check in soon!

It sounds like you had a realy nice holiday! I know I was really happy when Mary got old enough to eat the food I could order at the restaurants. It made it a lot easier. Thank you for all your sweet comments and friendship! Have a wonderful week. Love, Elena

She looks so grown up!!! No more little baby! Glad you all had a nice Easter. Do you do Easter baskets and eggs?? This was the first year we didn't dye eggs, the kids just didn't want to and I didn't have the energy to do them alone! We did the egg hunt with all the cousins, but you saw those pictures. Hope your day was good!!!

It is so great to have you back in Blogland. You were very missed.

The long weekend sounds wonderful. Baby Kay's habit of tasting everything makes me giggle. She is looking more and more like a little lady.

Oooh, so you are secretly an athlete! I definitely want to hear more on the bowling.

Gary says to tell you that he is jealous. There was no golf in his weekend due to the temperatures.
