Xan was trying to be serious… but that smirk just wouldn't go away!
Darci and her green tongue… Darci trying to look at her green tongue…
Can you hear her maniacal laughter?
That's to go with her curly mustache (courtesy of Xan).
lol.
The house feels a bit empty at the moment… Jaimi is having a respite
holiday with my Mum and Dad, Zoe is in Bendigo doing some volunteer work
for the RSPCA, and Russ is out bush… so it's just me, Darci, Xan and
Willow…
No sooner did I kick Xan and Willow and their mattresses out of the lounge room than Darci moved herself in! (did you notice her Hi5 doona set… she has had it for about 10 years!!)
Zoe, Darci and I saw the movie 'Eclipse' (the third Twilight movie) at the Gold Class cinema today… it is definitely the way to watch a movie… reclining chairs, waiters, intimate groups… awesome! … and, of course i took my camera!
Its school holidays, so my lounge room has been coverted into a giant dormatory!
In an attempt to be leaner and get fitter, I have been swimming a lot lately… I am currently able to do 20x33m laps the local indoor pool… thats a total of 660m! WooHoo!
Russ, Xan and Willow dancing around the lounge room… the music was loud and the dancing was… dodgy!
Look what Darci brought me home from her camp in Queensland… my very own ranga doll, Ron Weasly from Harry Potter! I love it!!
Another night volunteering down at the Donovan Joynt Hop-In Centre… this time I was joined by Russ, Xan and Willow who spent the night trying to kill each other on this networked computer game… and Zoe who hung out and watched the football with me.
We had a ten pin bowling day at work today… this is me, just missing out on a 'turkey' (that's three strikes in a row!!)… I have never been a great bowler and haven't actually bowled for years… but today – I scored a PB (133) and came second over all!! Hahaha… it was hilarious!
Talk about a step back in time… I traveled to Bonegilla for work and stayed in the same building I lived in nearly 20 years ago as a trainee Cartographic Technician… I had good times here… great memories.
So here they are… my North Queensland wedding couple, Pete and Jo.
I had such a wonderful time in Ayr, photographing Pete, Jo, their beautiful bridesmaids and their hilarious, but cheeky groomsmen! I hope you like your sneak peek guys… and I can't wait to share your entire gallery with you in the next few weeks!
I sent Darci off on her school camp to Queensland this morning… she has been looking forward to this trip for over two years, since Zoe went on the same camp… I really hope she has a wonderful time!
Can you believe that these are the first running repairs I have had to make on 'Raffie' in the seven and a half years that he has been Willows constant companion? That is one tough Giraffe!
Today I caught up with Karin and her two gorgeous kids, Matthew and
Isabella… they have grown so much since I saw them last!!
talked Darci into buying this jacket today… it suits her so much and I
just love it! I hope she does too!
Xan is turning into quite the little hockey player… she is fast and
strong and watches that ball like a hawk… she knows where it is going
before it has even been hit! Awesome!
Russ bought Darci a new helmet and jersey while he was away playing
hockey in Sydney… together they decided that red was the colour to
deter goals… didn't quite work for this game… but we hold out hope!
Jaimi had her hair trimmed today… we have decided that we like it this
length… much easier to look after and it suits her!
ok… so this is a cop out photo… but I am buggered and going to bed!
Abbey and Brady… I took their photos… but, more importantly, had a
cuddle!! WooHoo!
Pete and Jo's first dance… it was a long… and rewarding day!
Finally in Ayr, Queensland… one photoshoot down… now resting up for
the wedding tomorrow!
Zoe… always ready for a photo… which is fantastic when I have run
out of time for my photo-a-day! Thanks Zo-bo!
Xanthia is so photogenic… I just love this one!
…but if you want to see the real Xan – check THIS out!
We babysat little Henry tonight… he is just so adorable!
I was just testing out the fish-eye lens I have hired for next weeks
wedding shoot at Darci's hockey game… I ♥ ♥ ♥ it and I WANT ONE!!
Russ is always ready to pose for me when time is running out for my
photo of the day…
Xanthia is a one-woman freak show… seriously!
Look at my little angels in the bath… so adorable! (if only you could
see the bathroom floor… I could take a swim down there!!)
I was finally able to get to one of Zoe's hockey games today… she
played great and had a 1 all draw.
I almost missed today's photo and had resorted to photographing the
clock… and then Zoe walked in… perfect timing!
Xan ran in the 10 year old girls District Cross Country today… and came 4th (qualifying her for the upcoming Zone Cross Country)!! WooHoo!! She is such a champion!
Today's photo come courtesy of Xanthia… she borrowed my camera to take
these photos of our house-guest, Tyris, sleeping on Willow's bed… I
will make a photographer of her yet!
The homework just never ends for a grade four girl…
I wandered down to Darci's room tonight to take some photos of our house-guest, Tyris (the cat), but she wasn't cooperating… so I took a self-portrait instead – oh, and I included Darci as well…
