Pull Us Apart and Put Us Back Together Right.

Just a line from a song I like but always stands out as my impossible wish.

Thankyou, from the bottom of my heart, for the support and kindness so many of you show me every single day but espescially since my last post.    I am  so grateful for all the comments and emails I get..  So many kind, beautiful people the World over – I feel very blessed to get the support I do.  Thankyou.
Every now and then I check back over my Inbox and find messages I didn’t reply to right away and then realise it’s three weeks later, or three months. I’m honestly so sorry if I’ve missed a reply to someone – please know just how much I appreciate every email I get.

So here are  a few randoms from yesterday:

Mister Macey and his face of a thousand expressions.  First chipper, then obviously not happy with my response then finally launching into the inevitable appeal stage.


And Ivish, all dressed up with nowhere to go except down our driveway. She is looking simply smashing in a Little Leona frock generously supplied by Carrie, teamed with an Oilily cardigan which an airhostess once asked me, quite hilariously, if I had knitted myself.

    the colours of the pics of Ivy are just amazing.
    Love love love Mason. He can totally wrap me around his finger. That last pic – that is so him, and he is destined to be something great with the spunk he has.
    You knit? Now that made me laugh out loud xxx

    Sheye – you are never far from my thoughts, at least once every day beautiful Ava comes into my mind, as im stopped at traffic lights, or staring at the clouds, i cant begin to imagine how you feel. It is beautiful to hear you speak (or write) of her, and such a wonderful ‘therapy’ as such to have it here written. I think you are incredibly brave, and are doing so well, even if sometimes you may not think so.

    Ivy is looking so much like her beautiful big sister, shes just gorgeous!!

  3. Melinda says:

    I wonder if your Mum thinks that last picture of Mason looks like you? Where did he get his ability to appeal verdicts I wonder?

    Ivy is ALWAYS gorgeous in that carefree, very chic way of hers. How divine…. even if it’s only for a stroll down the drive.

  4. pakosta says:

    Sheye

    As always you’re pictures are gorgeous, I can never get Lily to stand still long enough!

    Anyway I just wanted to thank you.
    You are such an inspiration to me (I’m sure you’d rather not be!!)

    You posted recently about living in the present and enjoying life, it rang a bell with me. My job has been making me miserable for about the last 6 months and it was getting to the point I was getting home and taking my bad day out on my poor husband and my beautiful Lily.

    So I’ve finally made the decision to quit my job, I have no idea what I’m going to do but I’m happier now that I have been for ages. I’m going to enjoy my family and do something that makes us all happy :).

    So thank you, you’ve helped to make one little girl very happy!

    Hugs to you all xx

    Love the colour in the photos of Ivy, and as always Ivy looks gorgeous. Mason is very handsome… he’ll be fighting off the girls before too long! xx

    Gosh Mason has grown up! His funny little facial expressions tell a story I see way to often with my boys.

    Love to you, in my thoughts often

    Is it wrong to be jealous of a 2yr old’s wardrobe? Ivy’s clothes are stunning! Mason looks so much like Ivy in the third photo!

    These are really wonderful.

    I can’t wait to dress my daughter in clothes like these..I’d better start saving my money now!

    Ivy is just beautiful and you can just tell how spunky Mason is. Reminds me of my oldest.

    You truly inspire me.

    Kate showed me what Carrie picked out for Ivy and I’ve been waiting to see it modelled ever since – just perfect (of course). :) I love the beauty you effortlessly capture of the minutiae of domestic life – mischievous Mason whose personality shines, divine Ivy out for a stroll – no wonder we feel like we know them. Thanks for sharing – tears one day and beaming grins the next… either way, you never fail to move me sweetie

    I love that Headlight’s song too, it is one of my fvourites from 2007. The whole album is just gorgeous, it was on high rotation in my car. You should put it on the blog.
