My 3 year old!!

Wow I can't believe my baby is 3! What a fun 3 year old she is.......Gabi talks constantly and I mean constantly, morning, noon and night almost without taking a breath, she is hysterical some of the things she comes out with just kill me. Smart....funny.....beyond beautiful, I can and sometimes do just stare at her in awe!
Such a polite and loving little girl, when Daddy Papa comes home from work she races to the door and says " Daddy I missed you so much when you were at work, oh I love you Daddy, I missed you". Makes my heart happy.
Her little party outfit.

This little pouty look puts me away.
This is the most common look with Gabi, happy, happy girl pretty much most of the time, I hope we don't get the 'terrible three's' we pretty much sailed through the two's without more than a couple of minor tantrums. I am the happiest and luckiest Mama in the world. She completes me!!
Gabi had her 'first real Birthday party' (we had a Welcome home/1st birthday party when she first came home) she was so excited and couldn't wait, it was a ceramics painting party they also did face painting and games etc it was a lot of fun, Gabi made a very red and pink Ariel trinket box and a tile with a butterfly, very cute.
Sporting the t-shirt they put over the clothes.
I made a carrot cake with royal icing dots on and matching cupcakes (an idea I stole from another blog) .
Gabi with her girls. They were together earlier this week and were saying "we will always be friends, even when we are bigger we will go to the movies without our Mommy's we are best friends forever". Little girls are so cute.

Lis & Tom

We had Kevin's Daughter Lis and her boyfriend Tom come to stay with us a couple of weeks ago. They hav'nt seen Gabi and me for quite a while, (they live in England) so we were really excited, Gabi was counting down the days. When they were here it was instant love between them and Gabi....within an hour of them being here she was telling them she loved them (and she does not just say that to anyone). Here's a pic that Gabi took of them in NYC!
The cutest Sisters!!!!!!
We spent a couple of days in New York and had a blast.
Tom and Gabi in the park.

Lis and Tom we miss you already, Gabi asks of you often. You guys are such great company, so fun and easy to be around. Can you come back next week....please! We love you guys.

Love Dad, Nik & Gabi......aka Ziggy ol iggy, & curly whirly whirly whirly.

Gabi has been so excited to go to one of her best friend Lola's birthday party. Here she is as we were leaving she was so proud to wear the beautiful dress that her big Sister Lis and boyfriend Tom had got her from England (thanks Lis and Tom, how cute does she look??) Mama of course made the matching flower head band (OMG I am starting to match things...what happened to me!)/ Two of her besties.

Can I just gloat about my Husband for a minute?.......


I want to congratulate my Husband for landing a job just because he's great!


A little background, A few years back Kevin used to work for a money brokers in New York and then New Jersey. When Kevin left the company he decided to re-invent himself, so he started a Real Estate developing company and he bought land and built beautiful waterfront homes, (some are still available if you are looking for one In the Brick NJ area :o)) . Anyway a while ago he got a phone call from an old colleague asking if he wanted to do a bit of consulting for his company, with the Real Estate market being very slow right now it seemed a good opportunity. Now they want him permanently which is great right now, he has committed to only three days a week at the moment so he can still run the other business. He also got his Real Estate licence last year to sell his own properties. On top of all this he still comes home from work and jumps on the tractor to mow the three acre garden we have......Kev I wish I could find a few more hours in the day for you!!


Anyway my point is I just want to say, Kev I admire you and respect you. And as a Husband and Father you are not too shabby either!
