Party time....

If I am being honest, I cannot deny that we have had a challenging year here at the honeypot.  We had a baby and moved house all in a week and then a month or so later Daddy Bear had a bump in the road with his health.  In the midst of life (especially when we are finding it challenging), it can become too easy for us to put a party in the too hard basket which is what we let happen....almost. 

So yesterday, bathed in a beautiful autumn day we celebrated one year since we first welcomed Baby G into our family.  She is the beautiful rainbow that is shining after our roughest storm so far and is by far the most wonderful gift that we have received during this challenging year.  We celebrated with love, gusto and hope and marked the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.

Life is not always full of sunshine and skittles and sometimes the magnificent must be balanced out with the less-than-stellar.  I am sure I will look back at our challenges with gratitude one day as it really has made us stronger but for now, I am excited to start letting the sun shine through the clouds and live life a little more fun.  Because really, isn't that what it is all about?

(Thanks must also be given to Nanny and Poppy who went above and beyond to make our celebrations and vision come to life for Baby G's party. They are our strength and support in good times and in bad and we are beyond blessed to have them. Words do not give justice and thanks will never be enough xxx)
