A First

I went to give Ambrose a kiss on the lips this afternoon, at the precise moment he spit up. I'm happy to say that that is the first time that has happened in my four years of parenting. May it be the last!

Thank you my darling boy. There's no son like you :)

Kitchen Helper

Why didn't I think of this sooner?

Two princesses

Grandma, the girls sure did LOVE wearing their matching dresses on Saturday! They stood looking in the mirror smiling at themselves for the first 5 minutes and then for the next half hour they twirled and swished their skirts around, proclaiming their status as princesses. I can't blame them. It's fun to be a girl :)

Best friends

Nate captured the girls colouring in together. Eliana was saying to Lilah "Great job, Lilah! You stayed in the lines!"

How sweet it is to have girls :)

Rub a dub dub...

Three in the tub, and who do you think they be?

Last week was the first time all three had a bath together.... what a milestone :)

No more naps

About 6 months ago I had the pleasure of sharing the bed with Eliana while Nate was on a trip. It was a pleasure until I discovered that Eliana was full of jellybeans until 11pm! We dropped Eliana's nap after that. She usually makes it to bed time happily enough, but some times she doesn't...

Thanks Mum

A sweet, sweet package from Grandpa and Grandma today. I'm especially touched that my children will get to play with Eric Carle's caterpillar and Humpty, Jemima & Big & Little Ted... My childhood favourites.

Ambrose at 7 months

This boy is a-movin'! He's not crawling yet but that doesn't stop him army crawling from room to room getting into everything he's not supposed to :) He's on 3 square meals a day while still nursing and everyone is amazed at how much he can eat in a sitting. He loves sweet potato, carrot, green beans cooked in home made chicken stock, mango and yoghurt. He does NOT like egg yolk or pumpkin!

New discoveries

Who would have thought that dish liquid would have made such great bubble bath!

Happy Fourth Birthday, Eliana

We had a little pool party in a friends blow up pool to celebrate Eliana's fourth birthday. Happy Birthday our cheesy little princess. We love you!

Eliana's Thunderstorm

Our artistic friend built these frames for our girls to paint a picture. Inspired by the weather at the time, Eliana painted a thunderstorm...
