We are on our way to Fiji!!
Day One of our Fiji trip – http://jodibingleyphotography.com/blog/?p=287
Xan attended a 'Mad Hatters Tea Party' today… she made a gorgeous Queen of Hearts (and won 'best dressed' again!)
Catching up with old friends… makes my heart happy ♥♥♥
My favourite part of my ranga being on long service leave – the facial hair ♥♥♥
Xan and her class put on a dance display at todays school assembly… they did a fantastic job, as expected 🙂
The gang has gathered for Xan's birthday 'sleep' over… where very little sleep is actually expected!
Darci does it again… another Hockey Goal Keeping award to add to her collection!… I taught her everything she knows ;P
Xanthia
invited Russ and I to a school dance, where she and her class performed
for the parents… they showed us the dances they have been learning
this term… then the parents got to join in… luckily, I had the
camera! lol!
Look
what arrived in the mail today for Darci… a larger-than-life poster
of Batman, himself!!… it reaches from the floor to the ceiling!…
someone's Pa spoils them very much!!
I love this one sooo much… it has that 50's movie star feel to it ♥
(poor Willow was just laying in the lounge room, trying to eat her icy
pole… she is such a well trained model – stop; pose; carry on… lol!)
Scared?? You should be… she is cold-blooded when it comes to Nerf Wars!
I tried to sneak up on Darci… but she spotted me! Damn!
Willow at the Dentist… nowhere is safe from my camera(s)… (this one was taken with my phone;) )
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
I was blessed the day I met you. My daughters were blessed. I may have had to walk a broken road to find you… but it was worth it. Happy Fathers Day to my amazing husband, Russell. You are exactly what we were looking for.
After losing two teeth in the last two days, Xanthia is beginning to resemble a Collingwood supporter!! Oh the humanity!
Dexter… he may look like an alien, but he is… oh, who am I kidding – he's a freak!
He has been home for all of an hour… and is straight back into it! This is the base for Darci's Installation Art piece that is due tomorrow!… he got home just in time!
My beautiful Willow ♥
I can't decide if I like the b&w or the colour one better… what do you think?
Xanthia has been 'creating' in the shed! Be afraid… !!
Darci
has spent the day working on her instillation art piece (to be inspired
by a social issue), that is due next week… it includes a rainbow of
canvases, lino prints, digital prints, a market umbrella stand and a
bicycle tyre!… more photos to come, when it is done!
I know it's only been a few weeks… but I am sick of this already… only four sleeps to go, and he will be home! ♥ ♥ ♥
Xanthia is off to a school disco… wearing MY socks!! She seems to have claimed them as her own!
Remember when doing this was all it took to put a smile on your face ♥♥♥
(but the trek back up the hill was a killer! lol!)
Would you believe, she hasn't brushed her hair today… she just gets out of bed, and it looks like this!! Soooo not fair!
Xanthia and Willow were super eager to cheer for Darci at her hockey semi-final… or not.
Its exactly 30 day until Xanthia's 12th birthday (so she tells me)… any questions? lol
Willow at her last hockey training for the year… they only had half a session, before moving into the clubrooms for lollies and cake!
This is the view out my study window, over the back fence… it can be very distracting! ♥
Would you believe… they were wrestling over who WOULD be my photo of the day!!
Zoe… doing her hockey thing! Last game of the season… next week – FINALS!!
Just a typical Saturday night in the Bingley house… Xan and Willow singing up a storm!! (just be thankful this is a photo, and not a surround sound video!!)
My gorgeous (?) Willow… (she gets this from her father!!)
Today's photo is brought to you by Darci… taken with her phone, no less (HTC One XL)… This is what the sky looked like in Brisbane today… no joke! It was beautiful ♥
Thanks to my awesome ranga and his amazing green-thumb, we have a bumper harvest of snow peas right now!!… not that many seem to be making it inside… the girls have been pillaging the plants before I can get to them! lol
My poor Emmett… he is a little subdued tonight, after his snip-snip operation today 🙁
It's just me and my girls for the next few weeks… my ranga is away again 🙁
Willow was just home from her school disco… I wanted to take a photo of her purple hair and rainbow 'extensions'… but she was so full of disco news that I couldn't get her to stand still… or shut up!! lol!
