Every girl needs an "Easter Dress"....

So I have been the mother to a boy for 11 years. It has been truly wonderful. Made me adapt to the unique ways that boys behave. My son dresses for comfort. Sure, he went through a phase where he was dressing to impress the girls but that faded away very quickly. Though I am sure it will return at some point. He is very much a jeans and t-shirt kinda kid. A bit of a cross between skater and regular boy I guess.

Now we have a girl and I get to do the girlie/pink/frilly thing to her. I hope years from now she'll approve but lets face it. Do any of us look back at how our parents dressed us and say: "Gee om that outfit was really awesome". No.. no we don;t. In fact most of us look at old pictures in horror and say: Oh dear lord, HOW could you have done THAT to ME???"

With that being said I now present to you, the pictures that one day Ruari will look back on in shame!

I think that she looks adorable. I like polkadots, always in style so I think that this picture will not look dated as long as polkadots live on in fashion!

I have often wondered about you and had popped by the blog and then I would worry...now I know you are fine, back where you belong and loving your two angels.

I am so happy for you and your husband. Blessings to you and many, many hugs.
