Birthday memories…
Well, dear readers, it’s the day before my little cherubs turn two. We have had many ups and downs over the last 24 months (most of them chronicled on this blog).
My little guy is amazing, social, easy going, talkative, has a gorgeous dimpled smile and a wicked sense of humour, loves routine, kisses and cuddles. He lights up my life with laughter and joy. He is my second chance and I love all that he gifts to me.
My little girl is petite, beautiful and strong. She is a complexity of character, socially shy, yet cheeky and free spirited with those she is comfortable with. She has stolen the hearts of many. She is the full stop at the end of a very long chapter in my life. I’m glad that it was her. She completes me.
Here is Ivy and Noah’s birth story. Written about five months after their birth.
Here is a little movie montage for anyone who has five minutes.
Tomorrow for all those with a love of all things Ivy and Noah there will be another one.
Apology
I know this blog is taking a long time to load for alot of you out there.
I’m so sorry and I really do thank you for your patience when it takes ages to load.
We can’t work out why. I’m not really sure what to do about it, other than take all of my bits and pieces off, including my beloved blogroll and stop posting photos. *SIGH*
Now I am going to tax it some more by using You Tube.
Apologies in advance.
