my how they grow!

-

Tonight Ive been thinking about my three girls and how they have grown.

Today Megan rode her horse Ruby into Cohuna to ride and have a day out with two girlfriends - its 8 kms approx there and it took her 40 minutes riding. Was she worried or scared? NO!!!
As for Sarah she headed off to Bendigo for a day out with her friend Hayley. She called in to see me at work before they left and she looked lovely - confident and self assured.

And Aimee called me this morning to tell me that Mia is now wearing knickers and doing really well with toilet training.
I think somehow Ive raised three fabulous girls. BTW this is one of my absolute favorite photos of them - it was taken at mine and Gary's wedding nearly four years ago.

My How They Grow!

Gee - I gave birth to 2 beautiful girls, and when they were 11 and 13 I added two more beautiful girls, 12 and 14. The daughters of my soul mate (now my Sweet Pea (DH)!

I am now the Mum of 4 and the Wally (Long story - read grandma) of 8! The ride has been better than any ride on the Gold Coast! I do miss the little girls but they have all grown up to be the most amazingly strong women I have ever met!

They look so gorgeous - I remember taking that photo!
And remember you bought those frocks on eBay (what was it? Thirty dollars for the lot or so, and they looked stunning).
So grown up - isn't it a GREAT feeling!!!!

Mums eulogy

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N...

Ive had a very special finish and its a quilt that I love, I wish I didnt have to make but Im so glad that I have When mum went to heaven, the online quilting group that I am a member of - Southern Cross Quilters had the members make me heart blocks in rememberance of my dear mum. I asked for rainbow colours for the hearts as one of mums favorite songs was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the result and its it lovely..... Its taken me a while to be able to sew them together and to quilt and bind it - I needed to wait for the right time Yes it was sad but also so very healing and it is one very special quilt that will hold a very special place in my heart Thank you to each and every one of the SCQuilters who made me a block Your love shines through Also PS the fabric I used as the borders and the backing fabrics were mums as was the label panel - that felt right
