Happy Birthday!

To these two:) Yes, my mum and my baby girl share a birthday! 8 years ago, I was clever enough to give my mum her first grandchild as a birthday gift. I know, thoughtful...I also bought her a clock that same year...

Look at this pretty little doll I gave birth to. She was no trouble then and is no trouble now. She was a fast first baby - only 3 hours from woe to go, and she never even cried. When she first was born, instead of giving an almighty wail. She blinked, opened her beautiful big eyes and just looked around the room.


It was the first time I had ever seen my husband hold a baby, and I'll admit, I fell in love with him all over again:)

Look at this...our first family photo (I know, holy shiny! I had just had a baby! I didn't stop to powder my nose/forehead/chin LOL) And my husband, well, he looks like a baby himself!

And this was our bedroom at 6am this morning. She was up waaaaaay earlier, but we had said she could wake us up at 6am.
She got a load of books, AAAAAND, a DSlite. (guess which was Dad's fave gift??? He even charged it for himself her so he she could play it straight away)



Sam gave her some $2 tumbling cats...guess which was her fave gift??? (after weeks of nagging and begging and pleading for a blue DSlite, it would seem she likes the cats, I am hoping the DSlite lasts a little longer, but I'm not placing any bets)




And here she is. My gorgeous 8 year old! She went off this morning with a tray of cupcakes to share with her class and the other Natalie in her class who is also 8 today! (they figured out that our Nat is 3 hours older) Can you believe in a town of 1500 people, that the other person who shares Natalie's birthday is ALSO a Natalie??? I couldn't either


So, happy birthday big girl. Hope all your dreams come true!
And happy birthday Mumsy! Love you lots, and I have a WAY cool present for you when we are on the island:)
