27 years of joy!

Today Mr Deekie Belle and I are celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary!

I have shared these photos before but I hope you don't mind if I share them again!

Wasn't he a baby face ;)!

Ooooh, I love him so much!!

My heart still skips a beat when he walks into a room!

Hope you are having a great week!

Hugs,

26 years...

On Wednesday Mr Deekie Belle and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary.
It's funny, when you get married you are so in love and happy, you just think it can't get better than this...

but it does.
You become part of each other, one unit, one love.

Here are a few wedding photos I scanned on the computer last night
(yay! I finally learnt to use my scanner, only taken me three years ;)!

With mum and dad before the church

..signing the register - Mr and Mrs Deekie Belle!

Look at my hubby, he looks about 12 years old!

Hope you enjoyed my little trip down memory lane!

Back soon!

Getting ready for Hunny...

Angel and Ben's little girl will be here in a few weeks so we are all getting very excited.

Angel has been in "nesting" mode so Mr Deekie Belle and I have been helping them get the nursery ready.

This time around, with only one income they have decided to re-purpose and not to purchase new things.

Doug painted the room with Angel while I sewed up a storm (between Jingle Sox orders!!)

Khye-bug is still in his cot so we put together and bought them a cot for Hunny, nice and new but everything else was from goodwill stores or secondhand from friends....

a little paint and a bit of Angel's flair and here we have it!

I had this old shabby chic footstool, took off the cover and was left with this...

Made a nice new, pretty cover - I hope Hunny loves it!

Khye loves it LoL!! ;)

They were given this old change table, it was all chipped and stuff so Angel and Ben sanded it back and painted it, added some flourishes, and I made a lovely ruffled skirt to it - I think it looks beautiful!
It still needs a new change mat, that might help a bit ;)!

Some lace curtaining to cover the ugly blue vertical blinds. A few little nic nacs, and of course I bought a Mirror for her room. (you know me, I love mirrors!)

I think it is coming along nicely....

Back soon!

Hugs, jen xo

Thank you beautiful sister...

Sometimes life gets a bit hard and we get sad... yep, sad is the right word. I am so blessed that at times like these I have people around me like my beautiful sister Sue who will bring me gorgeous Irises.. and Lime Brulee.... and a listening, caring ear... and a solution to what is saddening me. Thank you Sue - I love you to the moon and back!



Aren't they lovely!

The Tower of London is Haunted!.... oh, and Nana needs a Port-a-cot

My Dad's brother - Uncle Tom and his wife Aunty Yvonne are over here for mum and dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary - as well as to have a lovely visit with us all!!! They hail from wonderful England (the land where my sisters and I were all born!) and it is so great to have them visit! They are so much fun and tell the best stories of dad's childhood and "their times in the Tower". You see my Grandpa was a Beefeater so my dad and his brothers (Uncle Tom and Uncle Pete) grew up living in the Tower of London - and what an amazing place that was to have some fun!! Especially late at night when you were supposed to be tucked up in bed!! Can you imagine three teenage brothers and the mates who knew every nook and cranny of the place - frightening the life out of the poor tower guards!! This is, quite literally, the stuff of legends - the legends of the Tower of London Ghosts!!! But we knew who was really haunting the Tower!! Long story deserves it own post so will get some more details from Uncle and Dad and post it soon!!

Here is Aunty Yvonne with The Bug - 

to him she is his "Great Aunty Yvonne" which we told her puts her well above all his other aunties LOL!!

Bug with his great Nana, my beautiful mum.... so much love for our little man!

And last but not least I really needs to buy a Port-a-cot haha! We had an unexpected visit at 1am this morning, Poor mum and dad, neither of them have slept

since he was born - 

time for Nana to watch him for a few hours at night so they can catch up on their sleep!! 

 But I am really needing some baby things!

Love Jen

Oh My Gosh, I am in Love!!

half an hour old..........


I am totally overwhelmed, completely awestuck and besottedly in love with this precious baby boy who made his debut into the big wide world at 4.15pm today.......
I can't believe he is here, and I can't understand how I can be so in love with him so quickly! I know I have been chatting to him and cuddling him for 9 months, but I had no idea how quickly he would take his place in the fore front of both mine and his Poppy's heart....

He is quite simply the most divine thing we have ever seen!.... He is our little taste of heaven....

being weighed - an hour old........ gorgeous chubby, soft skin, smooshy face hmmmmmm.... 9 lbs 1.6oz of ..... L.O.V.E.


Sorry about the big bandage, it is covering his poopy, will post a better pic soon as I can but this was the only one I had to show you how perfect he is!!!!

So excited! Hope I can sleep - can't wait to get to see him in the morning!

PS - the model  was amazing! so strong and classy, she didn't scream or lose it, she breathed and smiled through the pain. .......but that is our girl, our sweety who loves the Lord, she is beautiful and SHE IS AMAZING! We are so proud of you baby girl - you did so good!!!

Hugs
Nana :) (yep, Nana!!!)
