Hmm - this is the total amount of photos I have taken this month of my children.  Today. One day only. Phew.  Golly gosh - I still have a few days left in the month - let’s see if I can improve.  The Murph received this truck for her birthday.  She is starting to really explore it, and loves to press the buttons.  Luckily she gets bored BEFORE I throw the truck across the room because I am sick of the music!!!

Go and check out Terry McKaig’s fabulous new blog!  Not only is the design fabulous (great design Terry - I had a wonderful time working with you to create the blog{ART} that you LOVE), but her images are spectacular!  The colour - WOW!!!

Hmm - have I been super busy of late.  Note - that is not a question - but a statement.

Photoshoots, blog{ART}, M’s and life in general.  Absolutely NO pictures of my children.  The Clark crazybooth was the last time I subjected my children to the click click of the 5D!  Maybe next time I place them in front of the camera - they will enjoy it!

The next time is coming around on Sunday - I am lucky enough to be photographing Emma Peel Designs new fabulous range of children’s clothes.  Umm - no website to show as yet - but there will be a peek up here later on in the week.  (that is- next week sometime!).

Oh my - how much fun did my girls have here!!!  Make faces.  Blow kisses.  put a bag on your head.  Love each other!  Yeah girls!!!!!  Love your work.  A culmination to a great weekend.

I had a photoshoot this morning for some wonderful friend the H’s!  they have two of THE most beautiful girls - K and J, and it was their Christening Day.  here’s a super quick sneak peek BEFORE the ceremony.

Thanks for letting me share ANOTHER of your special day H’s!

How much fun are my girls having!  The Murph was happily ingesting large quantities of tan bark - which I am sure I will find tomorrow, mixed with copious quantities of sand.  M1 and M2 were super busy whizz whizz whizzing themselves on the whizzer.  It was a perfect afternoon.  Chiro adjustments for ALL of us!  Delicious ice-cream. Cricket (note - the term cricket is used quite loosely, as it was more like hit and miss - again) in the park.  Whizzy dizzys.  Slippery slide.  Sand eating (really only applied to the Murph - but of course - that is totally her prerogative, although I wouldn’t recommend it!).  All followed up by nice while you eat it, but horrendous afterward fish and chips.  Why we eat fish and chips I have no idea.  BUT - we do, and it is a treat.  I can think of nicer treats though!!!! I am happy that I had my little point and shoot with me to capture the moment.  Go out, have fun and enjoy the moment.  It was needed by all of us - and we had a blast!

We have had a wee bit of a stressful time of late at school with M1, but are working through it.  She is definitely growing into her own, and I am proud of the way she handles herself.  You go little Miss M.  You are a beautiful thing.  She has been worrying a little I guess, and a little upset I think as well, and this has reflected a little in her demeanour at home.  I guess all little munchkins have to find their place in ‘little kid’ society, and they need to do it their own way.  It is hard though to stand back and watch.  I guess we can just try and gently direct them a touch, and be there with hugs and kisses.

M2 on the other hand is starting to become acquainted with the ‘time out corner’!  Need I say more!

M3 is cruising along nicely.  She is dealing with a sore little throat and ear by not sleeping.  personally - that’s not the way I would deal with it.  Each to their own I guess!  She had a little adjustment today at the Chiro - so I will see a huge improvement in her sleeping patterns over the next day or so.  Fabulous.

This weeked is busy busy busy.  Little aths, off to a birthday party for a mini photoshoot with a housefull of fairies, a scrapbooking crop night at a buddy’s house (I haven’t scrapbooked in a zillion years - but I hear the woodfired BBQ will be ON - and I am taking my specialty - the PAV!) - we are trying a super brand new babysitter - finally I think I have found one!!! That is all on Staurday.  Sunday - naming ceremony photoshoot in a gorgeous old church.  Relax and breathe.  Maybe a walk/ride with the girls.  Maybe not - we’ll see where the day takes us.  Together.

…. and managed to capture the two littlest M’s conferring over some sort of ife changing decision -although I am sure it was just a case of M2 being overly ‘loving’ to M3!

I had a fabulous time this afternoon!  This family was wonderful to work with!  They welcomed me into the STUNNING home with open arms.  Here is a wee sneak peek.  Enjoy!

So - it’s the Murph’s birthday today.  To be honest - I don’t think she cared.  Yep - she has two new toys to play with - a noisy xylophone and a pull-back toy thing.  Yep - she played wth them - a bit.  All she really wanted though was to snuggle onto my leg.

We met up with a few lovely  photog ladies from a Flickr group this morning at a local spot. Lovely.

Okay - back to work……

I love that photo.  it loooks like they are discussing an all important topic - yet it was just a fleeting moment of trying to keep them together!

M2 turns 4 tomorrow, and M3 turns 1 on Wednesday. Growing so fast.

So many photos to share…… maybe a celebratory slideshow will do the trick!

This next one is not from today - but rather from last week - capturing her innocence.  Trying to bottle it.  I want to curl up with her and hold her close.

Lots more to share - busy busy busy…..
