Max and the Tree

I adore this shot of my beautiful boy. He really is growing up. As hard as that is to allow to happen, it is just delightful to watch!

There were other things to do in the park that day as well like digging

and checking out the bikes.

Winter Sky

We have had the most glorious Winter weather during July. The sun has been shining brightly and the temperatures have been quite mild. Check out the sky on July 15th.

July is All About "Le Tour"

How my husband is watching "Le Tour"

This is our lounge room wall and the way it looked most evenings in July. Everything gives way to late nights up watching all the excitement of the Tour de France.

So Sad

Molly loves playing in the street with the big girls. This day they were playing with skateboards and Molly didn't have one. Apparently that was the end of the world!

Mean Mummy took a photo ;o)

Bel's Girls

I had the pleasure of taking some photos of Bel's girls Charlie and Keira. It was my first real photo shoot at someone else's house, with someone else's children. It was great fun. Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day.

What Was I Thinking??

It seemed like a good idea at the time to get out the paints and let the kids have some fun. The reality was entirely different.

what was I thinking?

There are no photos of it all going wrong because I didn't want the camera covered in paint.

Sunday Morning

I love Sunday mornings when we don't have to be anywhere and can laze around in our PJs all morning long. The kids love playing on our bed.

Sunday Morning - kicking back

Hopscotch

One of the bigger girls fromn the neighbourhood was teaching Molly how to play hopscotch.

Siblings

No doubt that these two share the same parents!

Down and Dirty

You will see a lot of photos of Max in his favourite spot - a dirt patch in the garden. Apparently there is a lot of digging to be done and Max is the boy for the job.

This is not a great photo but that cheeky expression is irresistible!

Coffee With Bel and the Girls

I finally got to meet Bel's beautiful baby girl Keira (3 months) and to see how much her big sister Charlie (almost 2) has grown. We met up at a coffee shop and I couldn't resist bringing my camera. Here are some of my favourite photos of the girls.

New Pencils

I have a lot of catching up to do with blogging. This dates back to June.
