MK: "You're nearly one - you can try your first bit of cake" HK:"Humm cupcake you say?"



HK: "YAH CUPCAKES ROCK!" MK: "Humm this must be why they say not to give babies sugar"

We posted the invites for your birthday party today little HK.  A whole year has nearly gone.  A great year - a tough year all in one.  If a fairy asked me if I wanted to live it all again? Sure would my little bundle of fun.

Best holiday ever.  Still suffering a serious case of the "don't wanna go home"'s.  Despite copious sun protection you even scored a slight baby tan.  So cute.  Back to reality now though.

We're packed and ready to go.  A month at the beach with the family.  There might be a few posts if we find some internet access but otherwise see you on the other side.
