Darci is ‘helping’ Willow with her homework… hmmm…

This is the only photo I took today… and the package wasn’t even for me!!

Another workout summary for today… only this one is not even mine!

He likes to think he is being stealthy… but he has the grace of an elephant… and his snore could wake the dead!

Check out this amazing QUILTED image my mum created for me – best Christmas pressie EVER!

Those ‘getting ready for work’ feels…

Tonight we celebrated Zoe’s 24th birthday by heading off to the Canberra Openair Cinema to watch ‘The Greatest Showman’ all over again! I could watch it a hundred times and still go back for more! Happy Birthday Zoe!!

What can lure these nerdy gamers outside into the light?… well, Xanthia bought herself a new basketball hoop… game on!

New metallic brush pens make Jodi a happy girl!… though being left handed is proving a little bit of an obstacle to overcome… pushing the pen instead of pulling… but practicing is fun!

Alex scoffed his watermelon… then decided he wanted Zoe’s too!

Happy Happy FIRST Birthday to my bubba, Walter!

Holidays are over, and I am excited to be photographing my first little lady for the year today… all ready to go ![]()

To me the answer is pretty clear… if the date offends the traditional owners of our land – then we change the date… no one is asking us not to celebrate our amazing country… just do it on a different day. So simple.
Us – we had a quiet day with family… water fights, and movies on the couch… finished off with a BBQ dinner… and soon – home made pavlova!
So – Happy ‘Straya Day to all my country-mates… next year, lets pick a date we can ALL celebrate ![]()

I’m not sure what sort of plumy-things are growing on this tree… but this cocky is loving them!

Guess who has to go back to work tomorrow… after five weeks off! #sucker

They had to wait until the temperature dropped below 30°, so they are working by studio light… but I am super excited for my new grey patio floor ![]()

Xanthia… my a-typical millennial… she is all about snap-chat streaks and perfect selfies right now… she is about to embark on her last year of highschool and turns 18 in September so I hold out hope that this social media obsession is coming to and end ![]()

My favourite part of Christmas holidays, is my ranga’s beard… he take’s the opportunity away from soldiering to let it grow… there is a lot more grey than ginger in it these days… but I will still be sad to see it go in prep for work on Monday.

Couples who jigsaw together… generally kill each other! … but it’s looking ok so far!

Dinner is being prepared just on the other side of that fence… and there was no distracting these two from watching that task unfold!

Alex is teaching Zoe and Willow a new card game… I’m not sure how it’s going, but there is a lot of raised voices 😉

This wasn’t quite the photo I had in mind… but the peanut gallery behind me were distracting my model

I am so grateful for the skills this man has… being raised on a farm has made him a pretty handy fella to have around… he is currently working on a wooden top for our wall-mounted tv cabinet ![]()

I started re-watching season one of ‘Stranger Things’ while editing today, before I start to watch season two… Willow decided to sit in my office and watch it with me (first time for her)… despite the 41° day we are having, this is how she is watching! #scardycat

At 18 years old, with her very first pay cheque, my Great Grandmother bought a box brownie camera… the very first photo she took with that camera, was a self portrait in a mirror… today I am channeling my trend-setting, awesomely progressive, Great Grandma, Alice Ruby ![]()

Grandma Kelly’s photo…

Walter might not be loving his bath… but if he wants to spend these hot days lying inside under the air conditioner, then he needs to stop smelling like a dog ![]()

Dexter… he only sat on the stool as long as I waved food in front of his face… but that doesn’t mean he was going to look at me :/

Not an auspicious start to the new year… but this is it for the day!

I couldn’t decide on just one photo today… first we headed to the Arboretum to take some photos of my mum and dad… then we grabbed this one at the end (Darci missed out because she was in Brisbane visiting with her inlaws)

Then there was this shot of the fireworks for New Years Eve… welcome 2018!

How old am I?… Old enough to need READING glasses as well as my computer glasses now! That’s how old I am! #nextstepbifocals ![]()

Zoe is also working on her 2018 Bullet Journal… looking forward to an exciting new year!

I am using this lull time between Christmas and New Year, to work on my 2018 Bullet Journal… my goals for January are all mapped out!

Today we took in a movie – The Greatest Showman… I think the unanimous opinion was overwhelmingly positive! Best movie I have seen in a long, long time!

Gertie has a classic Christmas Day hangover… I feel ya, Gertie… I feel ya 😉

Just one photo from our amazing family lunch today… thank you all so much for coming and making our day wonderful! Christmas and family go together like peas and carrots ![]()
Christmas Eve and we (along with half of Canberra) found the best Christmas lights ever!

Darci & Freddie (and Gertie) out the front of their first home together <3

Meet my new favourite singing Christmas decoration, Steve.
