Where does the time go?
Well, there's something about our girls and their ability to encourage the sun to shine for the fun in the backyard garden parties (of the 3 garden birthday parties that we've had, we've had.. oh.. umm.. 3 really ace parties - supported lovingly by family and friends and, of course, the sun. Weather reports were looking less than favourable, but our girls' connection with nature helps to prove the weather man/woman incorrect.
We had a great time! This year, Kizzy's birthday was brought to you by those great friends to parents across the world, Fun and Messy. Specifically, Kizzy came down to unwrap - with the help from Jesame, of course - a water table from us and later that day, GP Jill and GP Donald came around to drop off a much appreciated sandbox. It's amazing just how 1) Wet kids can get despite wearing a 100% waterproof outfit and 2) how sand defies the laws of physics where half the sand content winds up in Kizzy's nappy!! Crazy and amazing... And in case anyone was wondering, the cake was handmade by Dawn - including the fab Winnie the Pooh..I know we sent around links already to various folk, but just in case you want a second bite of the cherry, here's the link again...
During an event like this, thoughts will invariably take us back to the time when Kizzy came to us and gave us all a big scare: the fact that when she was born, she weighed less than a bag of sugar at 1lb 9oz and not that i was counting but, 115 days spent at the hospital in the very wonderful staff at the John Radcliffe Special Care Baby Unit.. ga! too much.. But one interesting bit of info is that she came home to us on the day she was due - so after 2 years and loads of support from everyone, this girl continues to grow, is talking more and more and is just lovely.
Love you Kizzy and we look forward to another year and more sunny weather ahead.
toodles for now one and all.. look forward to hearing from you soon.
