Tonight we have been to the presentaion event where Elizabeth was given the book she has been published in by poet Terry Caffery. It was held in a very posh new local venue, so posh it needed new toe nail polish for all and as I am limited wardrobe wise (due to huge girth) Francesca finished my simple black dress off by digging out my wedding shoes;
Admittedly they did look better when I got married as my feet weren't so swollen!!
Very impressed with Elizabeth's poem, we hadn't read it as it was submitted by her teacher at school;
There were more than 1000 entries and only forty made the book so we are very proud parents indeed, big grins all round!!

You don't know swollen feet really. I wish mine were like yours! I am just wondering how you got down to paint the toenails.
You must be SO proud and rightly so.Of course your children were the nicest!
Are you proud by any chance :) Very well done Elizabeth, beauty and brains a fab combination!!!

OOhhh! Well done! I know about the swolleness - I had it bad with Samuel so my sympathies! Strangely it goes soon after the child appears!!
Well done Elizabeth. Grandad and Granny Smith are so proud of you!
