Merry Christmas

May your Christmas be laid back and peaceful!

(This was taken before any of the Christmas partying!)
We wish you loads of fun, giggles, great food and wonderful company!
May the reason for the season be with you all and remember that it is about the moments!
We are positive that the children will be happy, no matter what they get, as they are so into Christmas. Most the gifts for people we are giving is homemade, with heapings of love, passion and significance for us!
So enjoy the holiday and don't eat too much ;)!
From our family to yours we wish you a very Merry Christmas.
Hugs Ruth, Keith, Aiden, Emily and Alice

Christmas Babies are special!

Last night friends of ours delivered a baby girl at 6:30 pm and she weighs 3.3 kgs ( the same size as Alice!) and luckily the baby arrived safe and sound almost 2 weeks late!
We went and visited her this afternoon and she is just beautiful!
Mumma Why is Lea's Baby so little? Where did it come from?

Actually half an hour ago I was making excuses for not coming? Now I want to hold this baby so many times!

She was so quite and amazingly loved being held by my three loud, rough housing, trouble makers!

Alice was so wanting to be in the mix! This precious baby was born by emergency C section with life threatening complications during the 24 hours in-utero that both Mother and father were very shakey! However Mum is doing well and looks amazing! talking about being back cleaning houses in a couple of weeks or less! I know!

It does make you feel special at this time of the year when the miracle of birth happens and now Emily wants to know if she is going to be adopted! :) Only by us!

Over her parents dead bodies! LOL!
