Dear Isobel

Amy and Ian have been visiting this week, and we have all been enjoying cuddles with Isobel. She is adorable:

Noah is so proud of his new cousin that he asked for a copy of this photo to show his school teacher and classmates!:

My Baby Sister Had A Baby!

Last night another niece came into our family. Amy and Ian are the proud parents of Isobel Sarah, and she looks gorgeous. I'm looking forward to some serious snuggles on Saturday!

My Baby Sister Gets Married

Amy is twenty-five, I probably shouldn't still be calling her my baby sister but I always will.  This Saturday Amy and Ian were married in Paignton, it was a beautiful day.  Here is Amy arriving at the church:

Amy's best friend, sister-in-law and nieces were her bridesmaids:

Mr and Mrs Hayes:

My older sister Leah is more than a little accident prone, mostly due to her being partially deaf and unable to balance very well.  Two days before the wedding she stood on an eight inch nail sticking out of a piece of wood (I'm still shuddering at the thought of that) and is currently wheelchair bound.  I think she rocked the wheelchair and sock look:

Isn't Ben handsome?  There are girls falling for him already:

My little man Noah:

Rosie loved being a bridesmaid:

Ethan likes to pull faces when I finally track him down to take a photo:

I had to add a picture of the bunting I made for the reception, I had deformed fingers after all that cutting and sewing:

After food, speeches and toasts we drove the four hours to the London Temple to witness Amy and Ian's sealing.  A family friend who used to be our bishop many years ago is now a temple sealer and was able to perform the ceremony, it was beautiful. 

I am so happy for Amy and Ian, they are adorable together.  And they get to honeymoon in Paris!

Dear Jay,

We missed you last night for Amy's pre-wedding girls night out (her third might I add!).  We went to a Moroccan restaurant in Exeter opposite the cathedral.  We ate more mezes that was necessary but they were delicious!  I thought of you when I ate the Tzatziki.  Hannah and Jaime were there with Amy:

 As well as me and Leah:

See you soon I hope!

You'll Always Be My Little Sis

Happy 25th!
