I agree with you Teeki, it is a privilege to be able to have that intimate knowledge about such amazing people isn't it?

Miss 7 is the most beautiful little girl. I took some photos of her the other night and cried while I was editing them. She is breathtaking. She is also a dirt loving kid, but I think that has more to do with living where we live than her personality. She is so so smart, but she really struggles with the burden of that. She's also built like a giraffe and is so strong and has this amazingly athletic body, but she's so conscious of how different she is from other kids her age, it breaks my heart. She is so kind and generous, and the most amazing second mum to DD2.

Mr Spunky 4.5. He's my daredevil in disguise. He has some horrendous anxieties, yet when he's on his bike, he has no fear. He's free. The stunts he pulls of frighten me sometimes. He has come so far in his independence since he's realised what he can do. He is the kindest little boy. He will always put his sisters or his friends first. While he's not a natural leader, he's the kid who will stand up for the underdog, and make sure everyone is treated fairly. He regularly gives the most beautiful compliments.

Miss 19months is the family clown. She will do anything to get a laugh. She usually has it spot on too. She's so strong and independent, you'd never know she was so little. She is my climber (and I thought DS was good lol), my adventurer, my explorer. If she can try it, or get into it, she will. She is also incredibly tall like her big sister, so I hope everyday they will be able to help each other when those confidence issues come up. She loves to dance too, and will drop everything to get down and boogie if she hears even a whisper of music. She has the passion of a teenager, and the roar of a lion this little one. Watch out world.
