Long weekend....

....in more ways than one my Darling it has been a long weekend. Daddy was off today for May Day which was lovely, but it has been very busy and he is looking forward to going back to work tomorrow for the rest!

We really haven't stopped since Friday morning - Mrs S's death on Thursday night meant that from Friday was spent over at the farm preparing for the wake; same on Saturday, and then the funeral on Sunday. Your Nanny came down to look after you to free Daddy and I up to go and help Uncle J and especially Auntie D, so it was all change for you too. Even though we have known for some time that this was coming it did not make it any easier for Auntie D - although the funeral service was truly one of remembrance and thanksgiving for an incredible lady who is no longer suffering.

Hopefully this week will be the start of a calmer few days - Daddy is at home all week, and it seems like a good time to gather ourselves all together again and put family first - inside and outside our home. G&P arrive next weekend from Toronto for a few weeks and Daddy is so excited about seeing his big brother again, so there are nice things ahead, even for Auntie D.

Sweet dreams little darling x

Hi Sweet Friend!! So glad to see you're back!! Sure miss you when you're not around!!

Sounds like the memorial service was a real blessing, though I know, of course, how emotional they can be, and stressful if you help with the planning.

Lovely picture of dear hubby and our little cutie!!

Have a wonderful week and know that you're loved and appreciated so very much!!

I am sorry that you experienced the loss of Mrs.S, all of the surroundings sadness.

Baby kay is looking mighty cute as always. Dad, also. He must feel left out with no one making a fuss over his photos. Yeah, dad is cute, too!

Fiona, I am sorry for the loss of Mrs. S. I have been thinking of you and your family. It's nice that you have family to be there with the little one so that you can give your attention and sympathy to those who need you right now. Sending my hugs to you. Hope that the reunion of family helps and brings you all together again. Much love - Jaime
