Me and Mine - May

May has been the month for seeing family. Each weekend we have travelled to spend time with loved ones.On Sunday, we gathered as an extended family to celebrate my Great Aunt's birthday. It's turning in to an annual get-together at my second cousin's home.

I love being with family.

My nephew is growing so big. I love his little waistcoat and bow tie.

I think he thought the elephant statue was a lion, he kept going back and roaring at it.

He loves being outside; however the garden contained ponds, steep steps, beautiful flowerbeds - not exactly child-friendly. He had to be watched like a hawk or kept inside.

My second cousin once removed had travelled down from Scotland to celebrate her Granny's birthday and spend time with the family.

Then there's the two of us; our little family. We have a large extended family. We love the support from extended family. Everyone prioritising the special occasions in each other's lives. Travelling across the country to share in those important moments. We love the big get-togethers. It can feel strange though. You would think we would be used to the craziness of a home full of people - My Handsome Man is number four of twelve children after all! Yet, we become so accustomed to the two of us. As much as we love being with everyone, it's nice to be just us. Just our little family.
