Happy Birthday Princess




The birthday girl is 8 TODAY


We never thought she would live to the age of four (we have the terrible 3's) let alone to the ripe old age of 8.


She arrived by emergency c-section at 12:08am weighing 8lbs 15ozs and the first glimpse I had of her was through the viewfinder of our video camera while I was in recovery (I had to have a general anaesthetic).


Ewan got to give Ailish her first bath while he was waiting for me to wake up and I got to cuddle her when I got back to my room.


Dorian & mum were pretty quick to arrive at the hospital to meet their new grand daughter. Mum's first grandchild and Dorian's 5th.


Ailish's middle name is Emma and this is after her Nana Grobins.


Ailish is......


considerate

a mother in the making

caring

loyal

annoying

loud

affectionate

messy

persistent

generous

I am thankful that she is part of our family...I wouldn't have it any other way.

Such a pretty girl and so special to be turning 8. This is the "big step" year. This must be the year to be a part of the Baptismal crowd with Lizzy Jones in Sydney and Elijah Brown America. Have a wonderful birthday sweet girl and know that you are dearly loved. Come visit America one of these days...........G/A/di
