My loves, my life, my inspiration

Julius, with his soft sensitivity teamed with an endless source of energy and imagination challenges me daily and teaches me more about myself than I care to admit. A more beautiful and loving boy could I not imagine. 

Isi, ma belle! Gentle and caring, with curly hair and a blossoming love of dresses and shoes, Isi can light up a room with her eccentricity, her shiny smile and her bubbling conversation. Destined to know far more than either her Mama or Papa and not shy to tell us so, our scholarly "Binks" has her two feet planted firmly on the ground whilst her head is way up in the clouds. 

With pixie dust and an elfin smile, "Mrs. Pinkerton" skips through life as lightly as any fairy ever did. A funnier, cheekier little madam I have yet to meet. She delights our family daily with her blossoming humour and mischievous ways. Her big shiny eyes reflect the love she has for brothers and sister and her ready hugs are cherished by us all.   

And what about Teddy? My Honey Bear has stamped his surprisingly large foot firmly in our family and on our hearts. Ever the clown, all eyes are on Teddy to lift our spirits with his funny faces and he goofy smile. The baby of the family, destined to be the biggest bear of the lot he is everything we needed to complete us.

He believed in me. Before I did. 

He loved me. Before I did.

He helped me grow, he showed what true and constant love is. 

He grounds me and lifts me up. He's been my partner for almost half of my life and all of my adult life. I would follow him to the end of the earth and he would hold my hand as we walked back if I asked.
