Mum, this one for you! Also, its for all of you out there who are tired of looking at the empty socket in Amy’s mouth in that other post! Living room dance party. Morning cuddles. Quickly turned into morning wrestles. A visit to the Zoo the day before Amy’s first day at school! Sisters, unbelievable! [...]

Amy has had her first wobbly tooth since her last day of preschool back in December. She has been very unsure of it and almost scared for it to fall out, convinced that it was going to hurt or sting so as a result she has hardly wobbled it at all. Amazing really that it [...]

I know its been ages since I last posted, my reasons will become clear in time, for now, I need to record this moment. Today was Amy’s first day at primary school. As only Amy could do, she surpassed all my expectations and despite being too nervous to eat any breakfast, she was full of [...]

Poor Ron had to go back to work today, its a bit of a reality check for all of us and Amy has been asking a lot of questions about how school is going to work. I know she is starting to think about all the changes coming up. I managed to talk her down [...]

Like the obligatory New Year’s detox or healthy eating plan or diet (whatever name you call it!) the internet is full of photography ‘things’ in January.

Its been a wonderful week full of friends and family, camping and parties. The girls are sunkissed and exhausted, Stella is sporting a nasty sprained ankle after a fall off a swing and a trip to the Dr for an x-ray! Ron and I are tired but happy, sad not to be camping anymore but [...]

I am typing this on our new iPad while sitting in the shade of our tent on our camping holiday! Technology and free wi-fi, amazing! I have lots of lovely photographs to share and stories to tell when we get back next week, in the meantime I bring you the 2011 edition of the marvellous [...]

We are heading off to celebrate Christmas Eve with friends, then back home before spending the day with Ron’s parents tomorrow and then we leave the girls with the grandparents and spend the night with more friends. Up early on Boxing day and packing the car and trailer to go camping for a week! Fingers [...]
