Four for Four

She is four, this small girl who so nearly wasn't, yet by some amazing grace was given back to us. This girl who has bought so much love and laughter into our lives has now been in our family for forty eight months.



Grabbing a rare glimpse of sunshine on her special day whilst  watching her play with the flowers she insisted she needed for her birthday table, I managed to capture some of the emotions she was feeling.

These are my four favourite faces of her day:






and one to shatter any illusions of perfection about our lives.



Always knowing how blessed we  really are, even during diva  moments!




What is making you feel thankful today?

  1. Happy Birthday to Ruby! She is beautiful, with such a twinkle in her eyes.
    I share her birthday, so I was thankful that I have made it to 49, despite spending the day in bed because I was ill, and I am now looking forward to being 50.

  9. What a beauty. Until I had a child of my own I never really understood the capacity for love that a mother has for her child ...
