Gee that last post was a bit weird. I must have had too much coffee this morning. I’ve now had a sleep, a few chocolate bullets and am now slighter more coherant. Only slightly!

So yes, Jess’s birthday and what a little gem she is. I sometimes forget that she is still little because she is so tall and can talk so well. It isn’t until she cries or can’t do something, that I remember that she is indeed still such a baby. However, she had a great time at her party yesterday. She loves having her best friend Andrew with her to run amok, and they certainly all did that. I have chocolate finger prints up and down the staircase wall and carpet, and bits of wrapping paper in every corner of the house. Birthdays are the best 🙂

So here is my little girl with the fantastic cake from Adas and Lin.

(please note mini quiches next to cake. I made them!!!)

and here she is again, with the outfit from Mummy and Daddy that Meg adores and is extremely jealous of. Check out that BLING on ears and hands 🙂

(Note all of us have crazy hair – it was early! And baby in pram is not Amy but a lifesize replica)

So Happy Birthday Precious Jess. We all love you lots!

Today is Jessie’s birthday.

I’ve been reflecting a lot today about how she is growing up, what has happened over the last 3 years and how she is different from the other 2 when they turned 3.

Jess got a lot of great presents from family and friends, and they have all been opened and played with, and I really thought I’d have a cruisy day with them occupied. But the attention span of a 3yr old is not long! The best game they play, and are playing now, is “Families” and one of them is the Mum or Big Sister and the other the child/little sister. They speak in Amercian accents and dress up. Jess got a special dressup gown with cape and sparkly shoes, which Meg is wearing and won’t give up. Jess is happy with the accessories – bangles, rings and very Bling earrings.

Justin has set up the webcam so look out Wol’s. We’ll be in touch visually with you soon!

Amy is up the stairs. Again. Gotta dash!
