'A Little Help From My Friends' 10th March 2014

                         

I have had a very sick baby! There were temperatures of 39.7c, poop EVERYwhere and lots and lots of grizzly sounds. My poor little cherub! At least Daddy came home to dish out sweet sweet man cuddles and assist with poop duty! Eventually Charli got by with a little help from her friends and happiness was restored :) 

'Swimmers' 5th March 2014

I dont think there is much that is cuter than two little girls in their hats and swimmers! Ah these two! They have grown up far too fast, they must have conspired as they have done it together! I must say it is reassuring knowing that other people are loosing their 'baby' with me :p The definition of 'catching up' with my fellow Mummy friends seems to change dramatically with each meeting. It really is incredible how fast little ones grow, so we just have to squeeze them as much as we can and cover them with kisses while they are still easy to catch.

'Picnic In The Park' 2nd March 2014

Charli, you are a gorgeous little soul! You have so much cheekiness inside of you just bursting to get out! Today we went to the park, one of our favourites, with some of our favourite people.
You loved eating all the cheese and crackers. You loved putting your hands in my water and then putting your dirt covered and now wet hands all over me. The dirt was incredible as was the bark you found and trying to steal the strawberry from my bubbles was not an easy feat. 
You thought running down a hill at full speed was a hoot, but getting chased and caught/saved was the highlight I think. We made temporary friends because you wanted to meet the little 'woof's, and you made a lovely lady quite clucky. Tim pushed you around on your ghetto bike while Sarah and I enjoyed our little picnic. It was a gorgeous day out, if you could talk I am sure you would tell me that you had a pretty rad time, and of course that I am such a neat mummy =p

'Lucky People' 1st March 2014

 

 Despite the last picture, these little people love hanging out together! Just as well, because I really like hanging out with this wee man and his Mum. What luck we had, to have crossed paths when we did, these two were just hiding in our bellies and I couldn't imagine what is now before my eyes =)

'Two Friends' 31st January 2014

Two little girls belonging to two friends in the place we grew up.  Nicole and I have been friends since we were 13. We lived at each others houses, shared beds and adventures, slept days away and stayed up all night. We were partners in mischief and most things and were there for each other through the good, bad, and embarrassing. She is such a beautiful woman who has made a gorgeous wee girl to share this journey of life with. Now we both have new little people who keep us very busy with mischief and most things, but despite living in different countries, we are still wonderful friends. I am so glad our little people get to grow up together, even though they are apart. Friends are such a beautiful part of life,  I only hope Charli has friends as wonderful as I do.

'Ice cream with Opa' 25th January 2014

 

You are one very lucky little lady! This man, our Opa is one of the most wonderful men I know. I am so glad you have been able to share him with me and you were most certainly glad you got to share his ice cream.

25th January 2014 'Where Memories Are Made'

The peddle boats, the miniature train
Screaming as loud as you can in the tunnel
The flying fox and the old, loudly painted tractors
Spinning in circles, as fast as you can
Mr Whippy, serving smiles in a cone
The smell of metal on your hands and the feel of bark in your shoes
The swings, the slides, the laughter
The absolute joy and Oma & Opa
The children running free with wind in their hair
Rocking the swing bridge over the river
Carrying apples to feed the deer and bread for the ducks

Together or apart in this wonderful world
You and I both share this place where our memories can go.
