day TWO HUNDRED and FIFTY FIVE | Year EIGHT | 2017
Tonight, I surprised Jaimi with a trip to the theater to see a ‘Prehistoric Aquarium’ performance… I think it’s safe to say, she loved it!
day TWO HUNDRED and FIFTY FOUR | Year EIGHT | 2017
I was so excited to put my hand up for this project! October is World Down Syndrome Awareness Month and I joined a large contingent of photographers from all around Australia in offering our time and skill to take photos of children with Down Syndrome in our area, to be showcased during October. Today my first little model, Grace, joined me in my studio… and this is what happened when I poked my tongue out at her <3

Celebrating an early 17th birthday at The Pancake Parlour with Xanthia… who will be spending the actual day, strolling the streets of Milan. #toughlife
day TWO HUNDRED and FIFTY TWO | Year EIGHT | 2017
This is Xan’s last game for the year… and what a way to go out – scoring the one and only goal that takes her team into the Grand Final next week! ‘Unfortunately’, Xan will be in Italy on a school trip and will miss the big game!

These U15-2 girls (and their super coach, Russ) are off to the Grand Final after winning their Semi Final tonight!

Last game of the home and away season for these U18-2 girls (and their super coach, Jonathon and assistant coach, Andrew)… and once again, they have finished the season on top of the ladder! WooHoo!
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY FOUR | Year EIGHT | 2017
My desk is cluttered enough… without little Miss Gertie making herself at home!
day TWO HUNDRED and FORTY TWO | Year EIGHT | 2017
This is Walters new trick… if you are sitting on the couch, he leans his body right in, trapping you there and forcing you to pat him! … and if he gets to sit his butt on the ottoman while he’s at it – bonus! lol

When you’re heading to bed but can’t find the dogs… then you hear the unmistakable sound of soft puppy snores coming from down the hall…

Three of the four teams that my girls play on, are currently first or second on the ladder, with just one game to play before the finals – Willow – U15-2, Xanthia – U18-2, Zoe & Darci – 4th grade Women’s… I am calling it ‘The Bingley Factor’!

day TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY SEVEN | Year EIGHT | 2017
The danger of sitting on the floor after hockey training is that you WILL end up with an animal on you… actually, stop moving at all, at any time, in this house and you will have an animal on you!

When you’re not allowed on the couch…

She looks like an evil sorceress concocting a brew… but really, she’ just making a smoothie … she give’s me these looks because she loves me #truestory
day TWO HUNDRED and EIGHTEEN | Year EIGHT | 2017
I’m dedicated enough to be AT Zoe & Darci’s hockey game in the pouring rain… but not quite dedicated enough to get out of the car to watch it!
day TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTEEN | Year EIGHT | 2017
Xanthia needed a new mattress… so I had this great idea that we could put her old one in the cubby house as a bed for the doggies… well, it took them less than 48 hours to turn it into this… #damnungratefuldogscansleeponthefloor
day TWO HUNDRED and SIXTEEN | Year EIGHT | 2017
When hockey games clash with footy games… you do what you have to do!
day TWO HUNDRED and FIFTEEN | Year EIGHT | 2017
While searching the house for the cause of the electricity safety switch constantly tripping, I came across this!! The dryer power plug is burned and fused to the extension cord it was plugged into! … all I can say is Thank God for that safety switch!

What’cha doin’ mum?? Have you got food in there? You know… food?

Zoe’s contribution to the photo-a-day project… I forgot again, but she had this one! … how long do you think I will have to spend at the gym to get a post-workout selfie like this?

Xanthia styled my hair… apparently, 80’s chic is back, baby!
day TWO HUNDRED and TEN | Year EIGHT | 2017
It is a love story for the ages… their eyes meet across a crowed Costco aisle… Xanthia, young, blonde and lively… Luther, tall dark and – well, two out of three ain’t bad… it was love at first sight <3 <3 <3

Walter is not quite big enough for us to ride… yet… but Swannie is giving it a good go 😉
