My heart has melted

Every now and then a boy comes along and your heart melts ... well mine has melted. His name is Oliver and he is too gorgeous. He has huge blue eyes, a smile that lights up the room and I get excited everytime I see an email with his name in it. I cross oceans to spend time with him.

Now friends before you get too excited that a miracle has occured let me present my nephew and godson ...

 This little guy arrived in March, the first son of my brother Mark & his lovely wife Lucy. Oliver Alexander has become the new obsession of the family and we all adore him. I was able to visit in April and could not get enough cuddles and aunty Jo time. It is amazing to think my brother is a DAD and that this little guy will grow to be a man with his own personality and destiny. I am around children all the time, but there is something so different about knowing this precious one and I share the same genes and we are eternally tied in relationship. I was able to spend some sweet time in our parents garden hanging out with him, praying, prophesying and talking to his spirit ... all the time he is just laying in my arms, hanging out, looking at me and I wondered 'who are you going to be little guy?'

I am heading back to the UK in September briefly to join the family to have him christened and officially take on godmother duties - which is a huge honour. I hope it means I get priority dibs in having him come visit his aunty godmother where ever I am around the world.

His mummy is great at sending out little videos of his milestones ... rolling, laughing, first time in the paddling pool, bouncing in his activity chair ... so here is one that made my day.
