happy birthday liam, 1 TODAY

Beautiful Boy

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean

little Liam

Marti took these photos of Liam in the sand pit of Adventure Playground. Liam was having a great time. I am so glad he is over the breathing difficulties.

Sunday in St Kilda

We all met in St Kilda today and walked around. It was fun showing Judy and Roy all the sights. St Kilda is so fantastic at times and you can really appreciate how fun it is when you are seeing it through new eyes.
We took Kaisy to Adventure Playground. Kai has been a little out of sorts the last few days. I think he finds is hard to process having people around all the time...he loves it, but just goes a bit haywire.

sunny morning babies

Eli and his Mumma

Judy is here. She arrived a couple of days ago. It is great to see her again. It feels like all our past visits, being so much further away hasn't changed the dynamic at all. We are all having a great time. Roy has come along too and I think it has been great for Judy. They have been navigating around on public transport and discovering Melbourne on their own. Today they went to the museum and City. We all head off to Lorne on Monday.

my beautiful boy

Mart showed me how to use some color filters on my camera. I got these great pics of Kaisy today.

finally got my hair cut

I have been watching the BBC show, What Not to Wear, almost every day. I am trying to get an idea of what type of clothes to buy to suit my age, lifestyle, shape and coloring. I really feel like I am starting to look like a tired old mum. I have been wanting to re-vamp my look for a while. Anyway the hair is a start. I want to totally overhaul all my clothes too and just get really good clothes that suit me...although I can't seem to keep out of the op-shops and It's so hit and miss.

SPOOKY!!!!

good morning

I am still feeling pretty tired from last night. I was too tired to wash off my make-up, which I know is terrible, but the boys were all cocooned around me in bed and I just couldn't bring myself to unentwine myself to get up and wash my face. We had a great time. The party was fun, lots of ghouls and yummy food. There was a live band that sounded fantastic, kind of a DJ mixing samples with live musicians. Eli and I danced a lot. I was still a bit antsy worrying about the kids...I wish I could just relax about that. It was fun to be out with Gaye and Mart. Mart's new boy Chris came too. I think I will be taking Liam shopping with Mum today, she needs new clothes for her work trip up north. Photos from last night to come soon.

what's up

We all just woke up from a lovely afternoon sleep. I'm glad Eli slept as he usually finds it so hard in the daytime. Eli has been working lots and seems pretty happy. I found a playgroup for the kids and booked in for a couple of days a week. I think it will be great and help me to meet some other mummas. Our fruit tree has blossomed. The bees were swarming it pollinating last week, so we really hope to get some fruit... we are hoping it's apricots or maybe nectarines.
We are getting ready to go to a spooky ghosty party. We are getting ready soon. I will post pics tomorrow. I feel a little bit like a flu is coming on so I hope I can stay afloat. Kids are off to Nanas. Looking forward to some fun.

my site is live...

So excited to say I finally have a website. With the help of the most amazing website producer, Brad, I have created something I am really proud of. I will add to it over time, but for now it does the job. Now I will try and make a really gentle push to get some work... but not today, we are off to the park

dinner at a mexican restaurant...

Well it was a bit of a disaster actually. Kai is just not into sitting at a table and he was really misbehaving. The highlight was when he took a bite of Eli's burrito and then spat it back onto his plate. Let's just say it wasn't the most relaxing dinner I've ever had, Eli just about hit the roof. Oh well we got some nice atmospheric pics, and the food was great. Maybe we'll get it to go next time. Ciao.

so excited...

My very own website is being developed and should be live soon. I have wanted to create a site to showcase my work for ages but haven't even gotten around to it. Actually I have designed about 5 different sites, but always ended up not liking the design enough to move forward with publishing. Now I feel really comfortable with the image I am presenting. I hope this really gives me the boost I need to start to try and get some work here. I'll post the link when it goes live.

All is well this end. Kaisy, Liam and I had a funday at the park. We got the train there and had a little picnic. Kaisy loved that. He had PB sandwiches and fruit and he seems to really enjoy the whole concept of the picnic. It's getting a little easier with both of them at the park. Liam is playing more but they are still on completely differnt levels. Kai is racing around while I sit with Li. It gets a bit scary because I want to keep my eye on them both at all times and it's just impossible. Kai is often off and away before I can see where he has gone, he is usually somewhere close, but he never answers when I call him. I feel like I am forver calling out "Kai" just to get a response. I wish he knew the game of Marko-polo, The I could just call "Kai" from where I am sitting and he can call back"here"...it would make life so much easier.
