Christmas at Nannies.

Well Boxing Day..but still consuming copious amounts of gingerbread house (kids) and champagne (mummy). I swear I would have taken photos of the boys but they were in mismatched pj's covered in Gooey Slime or something like that, given by relative who does NOT have to do their washing.

I have four children, really.

You just wouldn't know it the way I post pics of the girls - espescially Princess Ava. I can explain - you see she's never away from me. Like glue, she sticks to my side...a constant babble of "mummy i'm hungry..close your eyes i've got a suprise...can you read me a book...i want to go to the shops"...so when I pick up my camera, she's the first thing i see.

Ivy Turns One!!

Can you believe it? ONE! A whole year! Three hundred and sixy five days of marvelling and enjoying, anticipating, adoring..She is JUST SO DAMN CUTE!! I'm sure I would have said the same about Ava and obviously that didn't last :p but here and now, this little treasure can do no wrong. Now if only I could get her to appreciate the bottle as much as my bossoms.

My little cereal junkie.

Every morning, my Macey staggers out of bed, bleary eyed and announces.."Mum. Cereal." I'm used to it now, I just do as I'm told. Isn't the light beautiful in this pic?

Now how could Robbie have refused?

I spent a wonderful two days with my dearest friend Jennifer in Brisbane last week whilst fitting in a rendevouz with Robbie Williams. The concert was great, of course, but it got sooo much better after the event when we went back to our hotel and who should be having a casual beverage in the lobby bar? Yes, the man himself. He couldn't resist and obviously followed us home. We then found out the whole Robbie clan had been staying in our hotel all along and so we spent the next 24 hours trying to beg bribe and barter information out of the porters, valets and maids. We got some dirt but nothing I should share here :p

Needless to say, we had a fantastic time away and took some beautiful photos of Jen as a gift for Alex..how gorgeous is the woman? No wonder Robbie was waiting.

OMG She kills me.

How can something this angelic looking cause me so much grief. I hate three. Three is just not fun. Adorable and exhausting. Amazing and frustrating. She is all of these.
But Lord do I love her. (And she's a great distraction to take out when I look horrid - no one notices when she's by my side!)

Meeting Friends

It's a funny thing I often ponder...that our children will never know life without the internet... buying their music song by song online, bidding for their things most wanted and creating friendships from an electronic box in the study will be so normal to them... And they'll no doubt roll their eyes when I try to describe life BC (Before Cyberspace).

This past weekend I met a longtime online friend, Vanessa, and her stunning daughter Kara..They came up from Adelaide for a much deserved Gold Coast mini-holiday. The kids loved each other and it was so cute to watch them hang out like they'd known each other for years.

It still amazes me how I get to meet people I would never have come across if it wasn't for the little box sitting on my study desk (and in this case, it was my Ebay addiction that lead me to Vanessa!!!!)
