Tears and tantrums

Tears and tantrums are a fairly regular occurence around here. William would rather scream than talk it seems, well screaming does demand more attention I suppose.

All the little things...

What is it about all the little things that intrigue us?

The tiny things in disguise...

The moments where your mind drifts off for just a second...

That first glimpse of something special you've been waiting for...

Those (sometimes so tiny they're not really there) things
that keep us amused...

New camera

Trying to get a feel for the new camera...

A bit of nothing really

Just thought I'd let you know we're all still here :)

I do have some cool news, but I'm waiting until I see it myself first...
something published... in a magazine.

Bonnie just loves Kindy and has had regular requests for playdates outside of Kindy. She's a popular little thing which surprises me because I thought her anaphylaxis would alienate her. She's really happy at piano now she has her old teacher back too. I can't believe she told the last teacher she didn't like her "because she's fat!" I'm so glad Scott was there.

Well I've gotta go. William is yelling at me in his strange language, and getting quite upset because I won't acknowledge him.

Garden wedding

With little help, Peter and Susie spent weeks transforming their yard into the wonder it once was. Only they could see the award winning garden under all the growth and creepy crawlies, and thankfully they did because it was transformed into the most beautiful setting for their wedding.

The garden features a boardwalk, waterfall and a gorgeous zen garden. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any photos of the garden as I couldn't drag myself away from the fairy tent full of kids.

Some photos and video footage from the day.
