En vacanes!

Darling Kay - last night Nanny and Granda looked after you so that Mummy and Daddy could go to Belfast for the evening. Daddy had been given an invitation to the preview evening of the RUAS exhibition, and when we were offered a baby-sitting service for the evening we decided to go for it! It was a lovely evening, and you were a darling for Nanny - you took all your bedtime milk and went down to sleep just as easily as if it had been me or Daddy tucking you in for the evening. You were very excited this morning when you got up and they were still here, especially since it meant you could spend most of the morning out in the garden with Granda!

While Nanny was here she dropped off some photos that were taken last month when we were all away for the weekend in Abersoch. There are some amazing ones of the family, but this one is my favourite - you, Nanny and Baby M - all cosied up in an armchair together ready to head off to PortMerrion for the day! This photo really makes me smile, because it is exactly the wee natural smile you do when you are NOT posing for photos, instead of your photo-cheesy grin face!
Baby M will be 1 year old next month, which seems so hard to believe! I remember when Auntie C came to see you after you were born and told me she was expecting - it only seems like a blink ago! We can't wait til Christmas when they are coming back to spend it here this year at Nanny's house - so hopefully we will get lots more pictures of us all together!

Ooooh, time alone with your hubby is always a good thing.
The grin is sweet, and her outfit is adorable. Nanny, and Baby M were lucky to have the cuddle time last month with your darling.

Oh how cute!! Glad you and hubby were able to get away for a little while alone. We are planning a 3 day trip next month without the kids!!! Both kids will be gone for a youth retreat with the church and we can finally go away for the first time in 16 years without kids! Sounds like Amelie had fun with her grandparents! Enjoy your weekend!

Oh what a precious picture. It captures so much love. I know how time goes by so quickly and because of that I treasure each day I have with my family. They are such a special gift from the Lord. So are you dear freind. Hugs, Elena
