Wow, what a month that has been! Teen's birthday was closely followed by a trip to Orlando for me and her; we had an amazing time but were of course sad that the whole family couldn't be there together. That was just half term though, and since then there has been the build-up to Sasha's birthday, coupled with some very miserable weather - a stark contrast to Florida!

I'll hopefully find my blogging mojo again soon and bring everyone up-to-date with the realities of what's been happening here, but for now I just wanted to catch up with the monthly Siblings project.

Today is Sasha's 12th birthday. The girls have had lots of fun playing Minecraft together this week and it's lovely to see their relationship strengthen despite some challenging times. It makes my heart sing to know they'll be there for each other.
I'll admit to welling up a little bit this morning when big Sis gently told Sasha that she shouldn't describe other people as normal and not include herself.... that's a tricky but important conversation.

These pics were taken today and will serve as a happy memory of a special day... helped along by friends and family and the sun popping its head out once in a while!
