My Life is Brilliant

i'm back .....

I'll be honest, its been a hard couple of weeks! seems like life can do that to you sometimes .... good news is, that i am feeling happier and more positive again! I really under-estimated how much loosing yani would knock me around ... i really found it tough! we are still sad!

Gianna turned 3 on wed... i can hardly believe its been 3 years since my baby was born ... how fast this time has gone. she's such a little girl now ... it blows me away, it doesn't seem that long ago she was brand new! actually right now 3 years ago she would have been only 3 hours old (i wrote this on the day ... and didn't get around to posting) ... i remember it so vividly (i guess cause it was so damn painful! i will never forget that - lol)

so we had a mermaid party today .. it was SUPER cute! and the little kids that came were so so good ... it was so enjoyable! just a note that the birthday cake is a sandcastle ice-cream cake ... super easy but so cute! the cupcakes are "octopus" and "starfish"

i have my parents here so we have been busy doing lots of things ... we went to SeaWorld on Friday ... so fun (i guess you will work out the pics) we also had a family lunch here on Sunday with some of mum's family (she is 1 of 6 kids) always good to see the relly's ...

Super special having them here for Gi's birthday ... dad was so funny with all the little kids, had them all organised for pass the parcel and musical statues ... and was in charge of the treasure hunt! he did make it a bit hard for the 3 year olds ... lol! its always nice company having mum here, we always enjoy a good chat .... i love seeing them with the girls ... its priceless!
