Yes I know the music is playing, but...

Again big thanks to Jo, who it transpires, actually did leave it behind in Galway after all, but was too scared to tell me. She magically rallied a fleet of friends and assistants to recover it and it arrived here during the week. Big thanks to them also.

It's heavy enough to kill a man or break a toe, or break the toe of a dead man if you so wish, which are the real criteria awards should be judged on.

It's currently employed as an 'oooh-look-please-stop-crying' but I reckon it'll work it's true magic as something to chew on when she starts teething.



The Irish blog award category best personal blog was sponsored by Microsoft Ireland’s Developer & Platform Group.

So many levels of awesomeness there. So many.

I have to agree, she has passed the newborn -'all look the same stage' and is a little stunner now.
Bet she has you EXACTLY where she wants you. Oh the blogs yet to come when she realises the power she holds hahahahah!

Tara R. said...

A fancy blog award that doubles as a teething ring? Win/Win! Congrats again!

Sanne is adorable! ...but you already knew that.

Jane G said...

Great pic! Congrats on the award. Wish I was there on the night, but I was flying in from Abu Dhabi, dahhhhling.

River said...

Sanne just gets cuter and cuter. Just look at her holding her award.

Jo said...

Best teething award ever!

And I wasn't too scared to tell you - I was prudently waiting til all was well, so you wouldn't freak out. I was saving you unnecessary stress! You know you would have freaked out... and that would have been unfair.

AnnD said...

There are no words for how much I love this pic! She is the whole reason you have that award! Well, she and your wonderful verbal abilities!

steph said...

And I thought you were gonna say...

"it's currently employed to pin Mango down while we both eat our meal"

But you wouldn't do that...would you?

Sanne is simply adorable!

Congratulations on the award, but honestly, if you wanted us to actually look at it, you posed it all wrong...all I could see were those big, blue eyes...I swear that child gets more attractive every time I see her :)

As I am that fleet of friends and assistants that recovered your award, just wanted to say you're welcome, and thank you very very much for the card we got this morning!
Hope you don't mind, but as we had possession of your award on April 1, we had a little bit of fun with it...
