Hip Hip Hooray - What a wonderful day






HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY to OUR BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS







Awake at 5am, ready to start the special day, and to open the pile of presents











A 7th year guardian angel








Always the entertainer. A cheerleeding outfit from Ella.





Books always make a great gift.







Beads and a bracelet were on the 'wanted' list. Aren't these just beautiful?










The Singstar was a huge hit, many tunes were belted out tonight. I can see we are going to all become addicted to this very soon.











This fairies book is the most beautiful child's book I've seen in a long time. The illustrations are absoultely breathtakingly beautiful.




A must have book for the Princess in your life.







The birthday girl with her big sister having a singing contest!

This Day Seven Years Ago ...

was our last night of being a family of three.






We were waiting patiently for our second child to be born after more than 13 years.
It was like starting all over again.
A new life.






Our house and life became happier and richer for it.
A blessing.
Love.







A sibling at long last for Amie.
The excitement was building.








Off to wrap presents now for the sleeping beauty.
More reflections tomorrow.

I'm here I'm here!!

Sorry I haven't been around much, life is just so hectic somedays, it's neverending.




  • I am still sick though, but hopefully over the worst of it. The kids are sick too, to varying degrees, with rotten coughs, running noses, headaches - the works. Poor poppets. They've both had a few days off school and dancing, so with just two weeks left of the term, hopefully they'll be able to be there each day.

  • I don't have a camera at all now, I have been borrowing Amie's but she's taken it home now. I must do some research and get around to getting another.

  • Ella had her Obsticle-athon at school last Thursday, she managed to do 6 laps of the course which was a fantastic effort.

  • Kate & Ella are practising hard for their dancing exams coming up. Ella has ballet and Kate ballet & tap.

  • The girls Cabaret is in 2 weeks! Very exciting!

  • Phil is still on a four and one roster. We had a lovely week with him home last week, now it's back to just us again. Very quiet.

  • Ella's writing is blooming! She spends many many quiet times at home writing stories and making cards and pictures for her teachers and friends. Bless her.

  • Kate is reading a multitude of books and has started crossword puzzles. Hooray for more quiet activities.

  • Amie is loving her new house and her independence. We still see her every day and of course Ruby, so it's not really much difference. Well except there is less mess around and more food in the cupboard.
