Eonan is now one year old! (well he will be tomorrow) We had a little party with family today. Nana, Granda, Nana. Michelle, Untie Sharon, Tiernan, Coinneach, Mummy and Daddy all celebrated with yummy food. Mummy and Daddy also baked a lion cake for the party. Take a look at the pictures and see how much fun we had. We cannot believe it has been a whole year since Eoji-Pie entered the world - Happy Birthday Wee Man, X
Here are some photographs from the party.
Sarah, Eonan and I drove down to Port of Menteith last week so that Sarah could attend a Nick Nairn cooking class. Unfortunately Nick Nairn was unavailable for this class, but the non-celebrity chef was superb according to Sarah.
Everyone really enjoyed the trip and I got to look after Eonan for a whole day on my own. He was really well behaved and he especially enjoyed Blair Drummond Safari park.
The pictures shown below aren't very personal but I really like them!
We all had a great Christmas day. All the family were over - Both Nanas, Granda, Auntie Sharon, Uncle Lynchie, Uncle Dave, Sarah, Uncle Ian - oh and Mummy and Daddy were there too. Mummy was sad because she turned 30! The food was really yummy and we got so many presents. Yeah ! Love Tiernan, Coinneach and Eonan xxx
Coinneach is three years old today. He had a great party with a few of his friends - Jack, Molly, Kory and Krystal. Loads of presents and lots of fun!
Doug at my work let me know about an unbelievably cool tool created by Adobe called LightRoom. LightRoom is a tool designed to help phoographers manage and develop large volumes of photographs. It is amazing what you can accomplish with very little training or understanding what is going on behind the scenes. Tell a lie...Doug did give me a 5 minute introduction to the plethora of keyboard shortcuts. I think that is one factor that makes it such an effective tool - the fact that you can develop a photograph via a few keyboad shortcuts.
The image directly below has been cropped from a larger image and had an antique light preset applied to it. Those of you with a sharp eye will also notice the absence of his chin scratch and mole. LightRoom has a fantasic "Heal" feaure that enables you to remove dust spots from a photograph (apparently the bane of all phorographers). I always wondered how they airbrushed supermodels!

Wow! The BBC News website published one of my photographs from Doonies Farm this week. Check out picture 4 at the following URL: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7084771.stm

This is my bread, don't even think about taking it from me". Coinenach was very keen on feeding the ducks and he did such a good job. By the end of the day, we managed to get through 1 and a half loaves of bread! |
| Coinneach was quite taken with the pigs - especially this Tamworth pig. I sent this pitcure to the BBS New website in the hope they include it in their weekly "Pictures depicting life around Scoland" article. We'll see. |

Everyone feeding the geese and ducks |
| We never realised that Doonies Farm has more fields across the railway bridge. They have moved the Clydesdale horses over here |

I just love this picture. The tongue poking out of the corner of Coinenach's mouth embodies his naughtiness
