yoohoo….

I tell you what – four children is busy.  Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.  I cannot begin to say how busy I am.  Imagine how it will be when all four are mobile.  I took these photos on the 18th Feb.  I finally had a chance to get them off the card, onto the computer and VERY quickly processed.  Didn’t even give them the Kylie-magic touch. Just a quick KCP-preset in Lightroom – no photosohp massaging, exported then whipped through MOIRAI.  VOILA – there you go.  M3 and M4 – doing what they do best – being super cute!

M’s are cool! ♥

rockstar baby

Posted on February 7, 2010

Some gorgeous friends gave Milla a little set of pink angel wings on a metallic-like singlet. I LOVE it.  Matched up with her spiky hair – she’s a little rockstar!

She is 7 weeks tomorrow.  Time is flying.  She is sleeping around 6-8 hours a night – so I am starting to feel vaguely normal when I wake up.  that normal feeling lasts around….. umm….. 5 minutes – until I get going and realise I have to feed, dress, beautify, clean, neaten, brush, love, cuddle and kiss a small army out the door by 8:20am.  No mean feat!  Unfortunately my little tribe have not started to salute me as yet.  I am working on it!

As far as milestones go – I have no idea if Milla is hitting any.  She is a champion burper – if she doesn’t burp – she’ll let me know about it by letting out blood-curdling yells until she is vertical in my arms, at which point she lets out a belch that would put her father to shame – after which she will happily go back to sleep. She has smiled a few times – not too often – I think she saves them for when Wilbur wiggles his head from side to side with a massive grin on his face for her!

poto mummy?

Posted on February 5, 2010

OK – so what does a two year-old Billy Ray Cyrus look-a-like do when her two big sisters go to school?  “Poto Mummy poto?”  Murph is a little lost without her big sisters – although she seems to be enjoying the mummy-time.  She is definitely not missing the incessant pulling, poking and prodding that she generally has to deal with from the big M’s though!

She love to get my Canon 350D, sling it around her neck, and take ‘poto Mummy poto’!  lenses are not necessary for her – neither is holding the camera the right way and looking through the viewfinder.  Such a talent!

Oh golly gosh – this little man was just beautiful.  It was a million degrees in the shade, and little J was oh so patient.

Thank-you M, J and baby J – you were lovely to meet and chat with – so relaxed and beautiful.  Enjoy your little man.

mine on monday

Posted on January 18, 2010

Okay – so technically ‘mine on Monday’ isn’t anything out of the ordinary for me – coz really – all I photograph at present is MINE – BUT – I thought I’d take the lovely Amanda’s lead, and try and make sure I snap MY M’s at least once a week!  It’s a great idea – I was looking back in last years photos – and there are not too many of all of my girls – so let’s work on it!

Oh golly – I just realised I was SO SO focused on capturing these three, that I forgot I even had a fourth!  How could I forget the littlest M!

Lucky I have a snap or two of her hiding on my hard drive – unfortunately this time… it just doesn’t match the series!

keeping it simple

Posted on January 3, 2010

Oh golly.  Simple is hard.  I make everything too hard.  You know – the snowball effect.  I am a master at that!  I don’t know how Wilbur manages to deal with me and my avalanches!  They can get quite massive sometimes. Anyway – I am working on trying to keep things SIMPLE this year.  Last year I was working on PEACE.  Suffice to say – PEACE is a work in progress.  PEACE  and SIMPLE merge well together.

SO – 2010 is here.  Happy New Year.

I wish I had something amazingly profound to say – but no – I don’t.  Simply because I am tired!

The reason I am tired is awfully sweet – but apparently requires feeding aat night.  Why is that?  US grown ups don’t eat at night – so why should she?!

In the keeping it simple theme of things….. I am attempting (AGAIN) the P365 challenge.  Yes – it does involve taking a photo a day each day for a year.  How is that simple you may ask?  Well – I am not going to bust my  boiler and try and create some convoluted post every day, and spend hours editing images etc etc.  I will just use one of my little photo buddies – Fred Fuji, Zara Zumi, Pete Polaroid, Hetty Holga, Digital Diana (when she gets here), Izzy iPhone and Mini Diana (when she gets here).  VERY minimal processing – infact – none at all on the instant images, and my Camera Bag.app on the digital images.  SIMPLE rules!  I’ll post ‘em when I find the time!  Here’s a few from the first few days…

Because I can – I have had a change of plan………… see my next post!

Enough said – I think they all speak for themselves!

DPP#4

Posted on December 4, 2009

This was the facial expression on Murph when she woke up this morning to the ‘pitty’ lights and our ‘tree’ decorations for Christmas (photos to come tomorrow of our Christmas creation!).  We have been trying to convince the girls that the Christmas fairy came through the night and assembled the decorations – but they are not so sure.  Mackenzie believes us, but Madison – hmm – not so much.  She is adamant that it was Daddy.  I said it couldn’t be Daddy, coz it was much too neat and pretty, and did she really think Daddy was capable of doing that?!  Her answer – ‘yes’.  Hmm – I don’t think so!

DPP 123

Posted on December 3, 2009

OKAY – so it’s not like I don’t have enough to do already – but I thought I’d join in on DPP – the December Photo Project.  Check it out over here!  As always – I am a day or so late. Thems the breaks! SOOOOO – here are days 1, 2 and 3 – all in the one post!  Yeehaa!

DPP #1 We have finally started a vegie garden.  Not sure that summer is the perfect time to get one going – but I guess it is better late than never!  Wilbur is super dooper keen for our vegies to grow – I’ll keep you posted!

DPP#2 – my cool kid giving me ‘the look’ before school  SO cool!!!!!  So cute!

DPP #3 – my little mother-girl.  She LOVES her baby.  Not sure how she is going to feel when the real deal arrives!!!!

my beautiful big little girl

Posted on December 1, 2009

It is a super busy time of year for everyone right now, and amid all the craziness, I took a moment during a fabulous workshop to snap a few little gems of my biggest baby.  Madison and I CLASH and are at loggerheads more often than not at present – but oh golly – I just adore her so (even if I really want to put her i a wheelie bin every now and then!).

two in two

Posted on November 19, 2009

I must say – at the moment – two posts in two days is awfully impressive.

Enjoy my happy watermelony little baby girl….
