Max & Lily are growing...

These are some of the photos from a recent photo shoot; some of the photos will be put together for a a present for Mum & Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary.

 

I will put some more up in the coming weeks.

 

Wordless Wednesday ( posted on Thursday)

 

Wordless Wed - big kids now



 

 

 

the 26th, the most perfect of days...

So two years ago today we received a phonecall from Dr. Shivani, our babies were coming. John and i hugged each other and just watched the phone ... waiting...

Two years later and we celebrate Max & Lily's birthday. The official party will be on Sunday, so today was just family presents, short visits and phone calls from family & friends, lots of chorus' of Happy Birthday and practicing blowing out candles...

 

Having a good time!

Having a good time is very much the focus of the under two's at our house; either pretending to read, chasing cats, stacking pegs, opening parcels full of goodies or just laughing out loud.

Life is good...

 

Merry Christmas to all...

To everyone in Blogland,

wishing you a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year filled with light, laughter and happiness,

from my family to yours...

 (and to think i thought they were so grown up this time last year ...)

 

 

 

Where our Christmas tree use to be...

Parenting brings up many dilemmas, the latest one for our family is where to put the Christmas tree.

How can we possibly move the table and cat basket & scratching post when so many members of our family enjoy the space...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The box is the best thing...

We finally put some lawn down for the Max & Lily to play on. Everything was thought through, including connections to the water tank to make it as environmentally friendly as we can. Both children were very excited about "their park", but what do they spend most of their time playing in, the non paved path....

Seriously...

John took this as evidence that they do play on the lawn...

Lily walking off the park, to go play in some mud...

For Christmas they are getting a box to share.

Harcourt - part two... twins- one, Thomas -nil

One of the joys of being with family is all the people that 'help' look after Max & Lily. Thomas, my wonderful nephew ( and Godfather to the twins) is always more than happy to take the twins on.

But... i had to laugh at the constant battle of wills; with Thomas assuring me that he had everything under control ( which is amazing because we rarely pull that off)...



 



 

Clearly forgetting that he is suppose to be keeping an eye on both twins; with Lily being the winner of the battle for the sacred remote...
 

Holidays in Harcourt...

For a few reasons,which i will not bore you with, our holidays have not gone as we have expected, not so relaxing for Mum and Dad,but the babies have had a brilliant time...

 

 Time with family, priceless...
