Every morning we will be waking up to this.
And whilst we are there we have yet another thing to celebrate, I know it doesn't get much better than this !
On Monday my Beautiful Baby Daughter will be 12. I used to sing to her when she was a baby, this is her song...
Wee Tootsie Moppet
Mummies wee poppet
Daddies darling baby girl
You're the best thing in the world.
It doesn't seem like 12 years ago and yet when she's sleeping I really can see the baby version of her. She was the cutest little thing and the most articulate of them all, no matter what she puts her mind to, she'll do it. I would not be surprised to see her running the country one day. My little sweetie scone is not much smaller than me now but she still is and always will be my baby. She looks so much older this year, it's been the one I've seen the most difference in. She has the most glorious mop of titian hair and I am struggling to persuade her to keep it long, I would put ribbons in it, she just rolls her eyes at me. She now has very strong opinions on what she wants to wear and I know I have to let her grow up but she is very probably my last baby and I'd like to keep her that way as long as I can.She has an answer for everything and she can never admit that she's wrong, I don't know wher she gets that from!!! She has the most infectuous laugh and you can't help but join in. She could start a fight in an empty house but still is the most caring of wee souls. She is so enthusiatic and really goes for it, and despite the regular trumpet practice,I love her so very much and I am very priviledged to be her Mummy. She is my heart, mo chridhe.

You're such a great mum, have a wonderful time. Enjoy the sun sweetie. LOL TFX
What a tremendous birthday wish. That place looks beautiful and how lovely that she gets to celebrate her twelth birthday there.
She sounds like a terrific character as well as being beautiful and your love for her clearly shines through as it does for all of your children. Have a terrific half term break. X
Have a great time! And don't worry about us being stuck here in the rain :O)
Enjoy your holiday!
Have a good one and don't bring me any duty free, I'm about to quit... unless, of course, you want to get a few sneaky packs for illicit pizza and red wine nights out?? xxxx x
Aw,Gwen,I hope you have the best week of the year so far. I like "mo chridhe". It's going to become a part of my vocabulary -- as soon as I learn how to say it.
Send us a postcard, Auntie.
