Nothing new to see here… Darci is just lying on her bed, playing on her bat-lap(top)… again.
Colour-coded puppy park… coz that's how we roll!… Emmett (aka: killer) is just looking for his opportunity to attack… he is NOT being a woos – got it!
This was the fun that Xan and Willow set up after school this afternoon… for those who may have lost track – we are twelve days into WINTER here!!… a warm bath certain didn't go astray afterwards 🙂
Yummy piklets made by Xan!… some plain and some choc chip ♥
Xan spent the day shopping and hanging with her best friends Jasmine and Emily… they finished up by curling each others hair… gorgeous!
Meet 'Mya'… Xanthia has eared this new pet by consistently keeping her room clean, and doing her chores for the last month ♥
So close Xan… sooo close!
Playing touch football today as part of an inter school competition… but Xan's first game today was against a team from her own school… she chased this boy down a few times during the game but was always coming from the other side of the field, so never quite caught him… much to her chagrin! lol!
Zoe certainly has acclimatised… it wasn't even that cold!!
Zoe's hair is looking so gorgeous these day, I just want to get a picture… I probably should have taken her out of Darci's room first!! #photobomberfromhell
This was the view from the stand at the State Hockey Centre this afternoon… beautiful ♥
(taken with my HTC Desire phone)
Just a typical Saturday night in the Bingley house… attacking dad with the polystyrene packaging from our new dishwasher… what of it?
Darci is doing her homework… see.
(she is going to kill me for this… but it will be worth it, for all her friends to see! bwahaha!!… sorry Darci)
There you go Dexter… somebody loves you!
Emmett is now 14 weeks old… and weighs 16.45kg! (he has put on 3kg in just that last week!!)
Xan and Willow's school had their fair yesterday… it was a huge amount of fun!!… but, being a senior leader in the school, meant Xan had some jobs to do too… starting with the face-painting stand!!
Today we had the perfect storm of hockey fixtures… all three games were at the same venue (though different fields)… at different times… one game after the other… and the weather was beautiful – sunny and dry ♥♥♥
The only thing missing was a win for Xan's team (that Russ now coaches)… they went down 2-0… but Willow's team won 5-1 and Darci's team won 7-0
(Xan's team doesn't normally play on grass, but they had to make up for a game that was canceled, due to rain, last month… and Darci plays on two teams – one turf (Fri) and one grass (Sat))
Ok, so I may have woken him up… but that look, in that final photo, was enough to make back slowly out of Zoe's bedroom… who says animal's can't 'talk'
Well, at least one of us has assimilated quite nicely!
An hour of wreaking havoc at the doggy-park, followed by an hour of puppy pre-school, turns Emmett into a snoring, snuffling, upside down rug on my study floor!
my ranga bought me flowers today… gerbra's – my favourite ♥♥♥
Just a bit of late afternoon, trampoline madness!
(take note of the awesome, self-styled hair creations!!)
Willow at her inter-school 'Gala Sports'… T-Ball! She didn't hit big, but she did exactly what was necessary to end the morning with FOUR runs!! WooHoo!!
Look who we found at the doggie park… Emmett's twin, Diego! The similarities were amazing… from the shape of their heads, to the black spot and black tip on their tails… seriously freaky!… BUT they are not even the same breed! Emmett (11 weeks) is half St Bernard, half Macedonian Mountain Dog, and Diego (15 weeks) is a pure Leonberger… and they were best of mates in no time ♥♥♥
My beautiful Willow won an award at school today… for "helping a classmate complete a challenging task in class"… makes me so proud ♥
Happy Mother's Day to all the mum's out there… we took a family outing to Redcliffe tonight, to watch Zoe's hockey… she had a killer game, and said it was for me ♥
Happy Birthday to my wonderful ranga… I am blessed ♥♥♥
I was helping Darci take photos of her room for a school Art project… as it turns out, this was the only photo I took all day!!
Xanthia running again… this time in the District Cross Country, against about 60 odd girls… she came 12th!! Fan-freakin-tastic!!
What better way to spend the Monday of a long weekend – MOVIEWORLD!! WooHoo!!
Today I spent the afternoon second shooting the wedding of Billi and Shane… it was so beautiful and full of love ♥ I can't wait to share more photos!
Hmmm… another one obsessed by hockey… just what this family needs – not!!
Superhero Day… with a difference! YAY!!
We had to invent new superheros that reflected Christian values… so I am proud to introduce 'Zenful Xanthia' and 'Welcoming Willow' ♥
I had to take 42 photos before I caught a natural expression… she is the queen of face-pullers!!
Someone living in Victoria, and very special to us, is having a birthday in a couple of weeks… so today we went to build-a-bear to make a special gift just for her… shhhh! Mums the word!
The focus is off… but how could this not be my photo for today… the puppy, Emmett, and the kitten, Dexter, just checkin' each other out ♥
Today was a big day for the Bingley family… today we welcomed the newest member to the fold… welcome Emmett… our beautiful nine week old St Bernard cross Macedonian Mountain Dog!
This is how Darci went to hockey training tonight… in case you were wondering – yes, they are her pyjama shorts she is wearing… "what of it?"
Under threat of violence from my OCD daughter, I have now been ordered to upload this photo in order restore her clean-freak reputation!! lol!! (taken less than an hour later!)
