three weeks old


my daughter is three weeks old today.
yes, i have a daughter.
a peaceful, tiny, perfect girl.
she has an adoring, proud big brother.
feeling very blessed and happy to be home.
i am amazed again at the way being a parent
makes me become more.

just had my first long weekend away since the birth.
llewella thrived. i survived.
what a wonderful response tho, in costa mesa.
we were back at the first ever celtic festival we played.
16 years down the road. and quite the road it has been.

i look forward to a busy summer.
being in the garden with my family.
and playing shows all over the country.
a time of change it is. and more change coming.
i suspect things will look quite different come the fall.
i suspect i will look quite different come the fall.

  1. Congratulations to you and your family, Angus. That's a beautiful photo; I love everything about it from your slightly mussed hair to the way your lovely daughter is looking directly at the camera.

  3. Children require us to be mirrors, always reflecting back to them what we hope they can become and aspire to - and in return they give us the love and trust that make us want to be up to the task. Congratulations to the entire family. Beautiful photo.

  4. There's nothing as strong as true gentleness, and there's nothing as gentle as true strength.
    Be well the 'Angus' family and hope the Summer is good to you in the U.S..

  5. A beautiful photo. So peaceful...

    Looking forward to seeing blogs about having time in the garden with the kids this summer. You are giving them such a multi-layered gift with the garden. I still remember our veggie gardens as a child and they are a favorite memory.

  7. Blessings to your family and little ones. They grow faster than you can imagine. My son and true meaning to life has just turned fifteen and I'm already getting the empty nest feeling. Nothing in life compares to bringing new life. Treasure every moment. Tell them stories, write down their adventures so they can reflect as they grow older. Your music is so refreshing and full of life, and I thank you for sharing it with the world.
