Look, Lucy does have a Mama!

So, it turns out that it's much harder getting a decent picture of me and Lucy, while holding my big ole camera, trying to hold still and without the help of anyone else...these are as good as we can get on the hall mirror! With photography being only my thing though, will I ever get any decent pics of Mama and Lucy I wonder! I can snap away with my iPhone and turn out some semi-ok stuff, but I really want a decent one of us both.

Lucys 1st Birthday

I'm late posting this, it was such a bittersweet day the day that our last little baby turned one.  I don't remember ever being so emotional about a date before, but my head was all over the place as I tried to savour each tiny second.   We ended up having two celebrations.  A few presents and a little tea to mark the day on Thursday 8th April, and then a party in the park on Sat 10th with all of us and a few good friends.  Apart from 'new toys' to play with, which was met with a lot of 'dooer' and 'dats' (not really sure what this means, but it's what she says when she points to items), I don't think Lucy was aware of anything much, other then lots of extra cuddles and kisses and attention.  Which is exactly as it should be.  The party was sweet.  A castle piñata, cupcakes with sprinkles, and a beautiful hot sunny day made it fun for all who came to celebrate and when the day was over, there were a lot of very tired little heads on pillows.
