Darling Baby Kay - you got mail this week!! Mail from the most wonderful lady who I hope you get to meet before you get too much bigger. The mail was a gorgeous pastel, fleecy hat, with 'Iceland' and a little row of snowflakes embroidered in beautiful silver writing on the front. It was bought for you by an amazing lady - who has been in my life for a very, very long time, and now she is a part of your life too.My 'Auntie Linda' was actually the girlfriend of one of your Nanna's brothers - at least 30 years ago! I was only about 7 or 8, but she made me and your Uncle Ricky feel so special. She used to babysit for us, and do treasure hunts around the house; she sent us a set of the Royal Stamps issued for the marriage of Lady Diana and Prince Charles; she even brought me a Spanish Barbie doll back from her holidays. And Baby Kay, I still have the stamps and the Barbie which will be coming to you when you are bigger.
Auntie Linda moved away, married a gorgeous man and had the most wonderful babies. One of her babies is just about to go to university after getting fantastic A level grades! We managed to find each other a few years ago via the Internet and it was like nothing had ever changed! She is the most lovely lady, so beautiful and kind, with the most amazing heart and soul - and I can't wait for her to see you, so she can be your Auntie Linda too. When they were away on their holiday to Iceland a few weeks ago these fabulous people were thinking of you all those miles away - and then the little hat arrived for you.
Auntie Linda - thank you for everything - we are blessed to have you in our lives x

Oh Fiona!! Seeing this precious pic just made my day!! Her smile could light up the world!! And the little hat just suits her, huh? Too much fun!!
Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and love!! You are such a sweet friend!
Praying that God will attend to all that concerns you, Fiona.

I love this picture! She looks so happy and adorable!! Thanks for sharing it!
Well, I'm just about dissolving here - thank you lovely girl. I've loved you for years and now I have Amelie to love too :0)
Hmmm, I see a resemblance to you in this photo...spooky. Maybe Grownup Kay will look like you, and not her daddy. That was a sweet story, and such a cute hat, on the cutest toddler in Blogland (and the universe). Happy Sunday.
How wonderful a history you have shared with Auntie Linda, and the little cap is adorable. However, it will always be the little girl *wearing* the hate which makes it so cute. It's wonderful you've saved your special treasures for Amelie. I have a cedar chest with little things saved up for mine as well. Love, Sarah
What a sweet photo. We enjoy getting mail from aunts and uncles too!
The hat is precious, and the look on BabyKay's face is one of understanding what the card says is special.
How blessed are you both by Auntie Linda.
