So very, very pretty...




This afternoon Neil and Seb decided to go for a boys only excursion to the park, this left Miss Isobel and I wondering what to do with ourselves. We decided to hang out in her room and take some pretty pictures. They all came out so beautifully I couldn't narrow it down to just a few and figured I may as well just put them all on here! Out of all of them I think the one above is my absolute favorite, I love that cheeky little smile!





Despite being 6 months old she's still so tiny and delicate and it's difficult to show that in photo's. When you see her next to my enormous hand it becomes a little clearer!

















Love this shot of her little tootsies!





















I think this one is my second favorite.



I'm still totally amazed by her blue, blue eyes.

More choo choo's....

Sebastian's obsession with Choo choo's is still going strong and it's got to the point where we pretty much have to take a choo choo with us everywhere we go, he insists on taking them in the bath and keeping one in bed with him at night. He even point's at the TV and shout's CHOO CHOO!" until I give in and play Thomas and Friends for the billionth time! It's pretty cute really and I'm impressed that he know's which one is Thomas and which one is Billy (orange choo choo as seen above, as you can tell I'm an expert now too.) Anyway, we bought him an extension to his track the other day and he was so cute showing it to Isobel, he kept trying to put a train in her hand! It's not often that Seb pay's her much attention but I'm starting to catch these moments more and more often, it's so funny and always puts a smile on my face seeing them playing together.


Isobel gives the track a final inspection before the choo's choo's set off.







Seb's good at pushing the trains around the track but hasn't got to grips with the concept of magnets yet. If it doesn't stick he get's very frustrated and sometimes chucks it across the room. I've been trying to explain that all he needs to do is try sticking it to the other end.














At the splash park with the Giesbrecht girls....

We spent a lovely morning at the splash park with Rebekah and her girlies the other day and I got a few cute snaps of Seb and his girlfriend splashing about. I was pleased that we also got a rare photo of all four of us thank's to Rebekah, it's actually a pretty nice one too! Click on it for a larger view.






Even Isobel had a bit of a dip. She doesn't get to stay out in the sunshine for long as she isn't old enough for sunscreen yet, poor thing looks so pale compared to Neil with his farmer tan!

"Allow me to pour you a drink Madamoiselle....."

"Is this bar self-serve?"

Down the hatch!



Seb get's a bit fruity with Mercedes after one too many at the bar.

Nana with Seb and Isobel...







My Mum came to visit for the two weeks prior to our move. It was all pretty hectic packing and organising everything and I didn't get anywhere near as many photos as I wanted to. To top it all off, most if the photos I did take are now stuck on the old hard drive and I can't even get to them without paying a fortune to get them recovered. So these few snaps are all I have for now.
We were sitting outside on the deck enjoying the sunshine and My Mum had Seb and Isobel both cracking up with laughter while she pulled funny faces at them. It was fun and so lovely to have my Mummy with me sharing these moments with my kiddies. We've all been missing you Nana, come back soon!!!






























This one is my favorite. Isobel really does love her Nana and gave her so many big happy smiles!
