ANZAC DAY 2011

ANZAC Day is a day that we celebrate the sacrifices made by the service men and women of our defense forces. For me, this is a day that I use to honor the memory of my Grandfather. Barry Thomas FitzPatrick was a member of 5RAR, also known as Tiger Battalion.

This was the first ANZAC day that we spent with Aaleigh, showing her photos of our grandfathers in their uniforms and telling her stories of how important their work was.

Even being 5 months old and not understanding our stories, Aaleigh still smiled at the photos as if she knew that the two men in these photos were related to her.

Finally back in the blogasphere

I know I have been absent for almost 2 years. Yet with only one follower I suppose it isn't imperative that I restart blogging but maybe this will give me an outlet.

So I now have a 5 month old baby girl. A little girl who is my whole world and brightens up even my darkest days. Her smiles are brighter than gold and warmer than the sun. Knowing what it is to be a mother is the most amazing experience. Now that she is here i cann't imagine my life without her. She makes our family complete. Nothing could have had such a profound impact on my life as my daughter. She makes me want to better myself everyday and to live each day with love and kindness for all.

Having her in my life is the most amazing gift. God really did bless my life with her and I could not have asked for her to be anything more than what she is. She takes my breath away.
