A present from baby girl to daddy!

The big boys absolutely LOVE their baby sister. The older two declared that they would marry her. It was hard explaining why they couldn’t!

The thing about having a baby girl is that you get rabbits, lots of rabbits! Luckily we like bunnies in this house and they have already received lots of cuddles!

Though I am obviously taking lots of pictures of my baby girl, I think I need to not let them take over my blog and I can always take more. So, although I had a few of my little angel, I present here a vase of flowers that my lovely friend Sarah gave to us […]
