William James....born 27th July 2007

On Sunday I had the honour of photographing this brand new baby boy. He was just gorgeous and a great little model. He was all of 36hrs old at the time and as you can see he still had his name tags and his cord clamp on.

Kristy and Michael here is just a sneek peek at your darling little boy.

Road Trip!!!!

On Saturday Tynan and I went on a trip to Sydney with some friends of ours, Rach and Isabel. We had the best time. We started at Ikea....woah let me tell you I was overwhelmed by that place. There is so much stuff I didn't know where to look first. I was quite reserved in the end and only bought a few things. I think because I didn't know what to buy, lol. After that we made our way to Chatswood to meet up with a group of friends We met over the internet. All our babies were born around the same time. It was lovely to finally put some faces to the names we knew.

It was a huge day...very long but let me tell you for Tynans first trip away he was fantastic. He travelled beautifully. At one stage he was holding hands with Isabel. They could reach each other in ther car seats, I couldn't get my camera out quick enough.

I had such a great time we are planning to do it again.

Just some more of Jai.

A few more of this gorgeous boy......

Meet Jai....

A gorgeous little 8 month old boy I got to photograph today. He was a delight as he was smiling the whole time. He has the biggest blue eyes and a very cheeky grin. He also learnt to push himself backwards on the floor until he was peeking out from behind the couch, lol.

Tynan's handknitted longies

My good friend Bec(mum to little J down below) knitted Tynan a pair of longies for his birthday. Unfortunately the first pair turned out to be too small. Probably due to my dodgy measurements. So Bec knitted him a bigger pair. They are gorgeous.

For those who don't know what they are......they are a cover to go over his cloth nappies. Instead of the old plastic pants which were quite bad, these are breathable which allows the air to flow through. Yes they are water resistant as well because they are lanolised which creates a natural water resistant layer between the nappy and the longies.

Thanks Bec :)

One week down

Well the first week of holidays has well and truly past and the second has started. We spent the first week staying at home which was nice. We made playdough which the boys loved playing with. Watched DVD's, walked to the park and played outside. Although a few days it was just too cold to stay out there.

It has been a very cold winter this year and tonight they are predicting snow so stay tuned for lots of photos if it happens.

I think the boys are starting to get a bit antsy and are starting to ask when they can go back to school which is a good sign I guess as in a few years they won't want to go back lol.

Don't mess with the playground equipment.....

As Liam found out you will always come off second best. He hit is eye on a rocking car thingy. It came up a doozy.

Kristy

Well here it is.....my first maternity shoot. A friend of mine was nice enough to be my guinea pig. K was 38 weeks when we took these photos. Little K was so photogenic...very cheeky too.

So here you are Kristy a sneak peek for you :)

Little J

This is my good friends little boy. He has been so sick lately. He eventually fell asleep on his mummy's chest when they were visiting yesterday. His eyelashes are so long, they are gorgeous.

A conversation with Liam....aged 4

He was running past the tv unit and hit his little toe and hurt it....

Me "What did you hurt?"

Liam " This.." Pointing to his little toe.

M "Oh you hurt your toe, is it ok?"

L " It's not my toe"

M "Yes it is silly!"

L "NO! it's not"

M " well what is it then?"

L " My LITTLE toe"

I stand corrected.

He's not a baby anymore

Little Tynan is now 13 months old. The year has flown by, much too fast if you ask me. This is him taken today when he was outside in the cold playing with his brothers. He had a ball...didn't want to come inside even when his hands were turning purple. (I did take him in though)

Where do you keep you sword????

Liam and Ryan have taken to playing Knights. This is where Liam stores his swords when they are not in use. Uncomfortable?...yes! Inconveniant?....maybe!?! Cute.....Very much so. That said he had to keep pulling up his pants as they kept creeping down.

Just quick one.....

Just had to add this gorgeous photo of Conor I took the other day. He is a delight and a test all at the same time.......2.5yrs old! That says it all I think.

Liam's first drawing......

Well I thought I would start with LIAM'S first real picture. He is not one for the art's and craft's so to get him to draw a picture is not easy. He will usually scribble on the page and then say "look mum it's a storm". So when I rocked up to pre school on Thursday last week and was greeted with this drawing...I nearly burst with pride. It is a picture of him......and he was very proud too.

And I jump in with both feet.........

Yes I have followed everyone else and created a blog. I figured this would be the easiest way to tell you all about what is happening in our corner of the world. I will hopefully fill this with fun things that are happening here......and let me tell you with 4 boys those things happen quite alot. I also wanted a place where I could show off my photos which is quickly becoming a passion of mine. I have needed a creative outlet for a while and I dabbled in so many things....life drawing(loved), sewing, scrapbooking but I think I found what I want to do. It will hopfully keep me sane for the next few years as I send the last 3 off to school and then start studying myself. I will hopfully start working by 2015...gosh that sounds so far away but it's not really.

I will leave it there for now whilst I get my head around all of this and find the first photos to post:)
