Friends from afar!

Darling Baby Kay, this week we have been lucky to be able to spend some time with our wonderful friends T&G - who have come home from Baltimore for a few days to show off their gorgeous little twin boys - S&L. They are just the most adorable little boys going - they are non-identical twins, and very different, in looks and personality! Little S got his first tooth this week here in Northern Ireland - and they have coped very well with all the different faces and voices.

Daddy and G played golf on Sunday, and T and I had a great afternoon with the 3 of you. You were very taken with the babies and were doing a lot of patting and 'kind hands' on their heads and faces (this is what we tell you to remind you to not be rough when you are touching people's faces and getting over-enthusiastic!!) Yesterday we met G and the boys for a coffee at M&S while T did some shopping, and tomorrow we are heading up to see them before they head back to the US. It has been fabulous having them so close by - it reminds me how much I miss them and how great it would be if we lived closer.

You are still walking very happily and gaining confidence every day - you spend almost every waking moment toddling about, fetching things back and forward, moving things around, and then moving them right back again! You have been a bit unsettled the last few nights in bed, and we think that maybe you have another tooth on the way. You are also becoming more attached to your 'babies' - 2 or 3 little dolls that you have - over your other toys. You make them walk along, and clap hands, and kiss one another, and occasionally cuddle them in to yourself and kiss them. It is the sweetest thing I have ever seen you do my darling. Every day you grow a little bigger and a little more like a wee girl - and we love you more and more x

Sounds like you've had a fun and exciting week. It's so fun to watch toddlers make their dolls interact.

Hope you have a good rest of the week☺

Aww, little Amelie is just getting so big. I love how you tell about her activities. What a sweet, sweet little girl! I too love to see Mary interact with her toys. She has a large stuffed tiger that she calls Cindy. She was coming the tigers hair the other day and looked up and said to me, "I'm gentle, gentle." That was so cute to me because that is how I had been telling her how to treat my sister's dog the other day when she was petting her. Have a wonderful week dear friend. Love, Elena

Oh Fiona, Reading of your delight with Amelie's care of her babies just brought tears to my eyes. How very sweet, and how it warms a mum's heart!! (and mine, too!!)

Trusting that God is holding you in His tender loving arms and meeting all of your needs!!

Hope you have a joyful weekend!!
Thank you for all the joy you bring my way!!
