Happy Easter


Sibling love




My babies just love each other, all the time (so far!). I am so grateful for this.

My wise little monkey

sees no evil

hears no evil

speaks no evil
for a moment anyway!

the journey home

Cuddles with Momo.

All clean.

4am departure day Tigs with Henry, our driver.

Flight home - Smiley kept popping her little head up out of the crib.

Our chil'n snuggling together. Tiggy set Twinkle up with the headphones! Very cute.
Of course she's never seen tv before!

Time to jump on Daddy!

T2 wondering what's going on.

Home at last.

We are all settled and happy, albeit a little jet-lagged still. Both children have exceeded all expectations. The Big Guy is so sweet with his little sister. He said she's Cinderella today. I catch him singing to her and playing little games with her. Melts my heart completely. The Little One is just an angel. She is such an easy baby (I really earned my stripes the first time around!). She's very easy to satisfy, wakes happily with a little call out, smiles, eats, smiles, drinks, smiles, babbles, smiles, sleeps. Repeat!
Long may it continue!!

Thanks everyone for all your lovely comments and emails. We feel blessed in every way.

Introducing ...

our Angel Baby Girl!



















Our first glimpse.
















Our first cuddles




























Taken by Tiggy! He takes a great shot.

She is beyond words. But I know you probably want to hear some!

Calm, happy, laid back, smiley, easy going, super alert, relaxed, peaceful, tiny - but with a whole heap o' junk in her trunk!



Adored, cherished, entertained, fed (loves that - Mama's happy!), sleeping!

Perfect!


I really can't properly say how we are feeling. Maybe elated, overjoyed, relaxed. No, scrap it all. Complete!
Oh, and Tigs has been an absolute honey (I mean completely wonderful) with Twinkle. We're so proud of him.

We're here and waiting ...

So we're here and ready to go and finally meet our baby girl. We stayed at Feeling last night and have decided to go to a new one today. We'll be staying at the uber cool Tango Hotel. Much more suited to our needs we think.

We were all ready to be picked up at 10am but just received a call from Donna to say she would be running late. Rats. More waiting...

Will try and post some photos of Hong Kong in next post and then some of little Twinkle!

Dah-na, dah-na, dah-na - Agggghhhh!

Well, what can I say. He had such fun.
There has not been a lot of fun around here for the last few days, in spite of our imminent departure for Taiwan. I did a silly thing and have ended up with 20 stitches in my leg and am bed-ridden. What a bore. Great news is that it won't stop me heading to Taiwan to bring our baby girl home. I probably won't see very much of Taiwan or Hong Kong but at least I'll get to my baby.
Tiggy Teeth!
