A little ray of sunshine.

A little ray of sunshine has come into the world, a little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl.

There never was a child so lovely, but her mother was glad to get her to sleep.

A moment of rest for everybody.......


Annabelle is starting to take notice of the world and the people in it.

Outside

Felix exploring.......and getting into mischief.

Felix is very happy when outside. He has used every trick in the book this week to sweet talk Grandma into taking him outdoors................Cute grins, saying "ma", trying to convince her to put his boots on.....he is pretty clever for his size................she is a pushover! Oh how we are all wishing for sunshine and clear skys as the rainy days are not as exciting for big people to go outside............

He is particulary fond of his new blue gumboots and loves to show them off and stomp around ..........

Welcome to the world

Our beautiful girl arrived Monday September 7th. How precious is a little girl to a mother......she is just divine and such a blessing to our family.

In the sheltered simplicity of the first days after a baby is born, one sees again the magical closed circle, the miraculous sense of two people existing only for each other.

Spring is Here..........

Hooray!! Spring is here.......Green grass starts to grow, blossoms start to emerge, the air is a little sweeter. Accually, I love aspects of all the four seasons. It is one of the most amazing benefits of living here, the noticeable change of each season which triggers memories from past seasons, each time the changes begin. I am looking forward to citrus tarts, sunshine on my face during a morning walk, leaving some windows open, the scent of flowers on the breeze. Spring is a happy time for me as it reminds me of the beginnings of the greatest romance of my life, meeting my husband. We became engaged mid spring and married soon after that summer. Our family is in the summer season of life at the moment. It is busy with children, work, various activities and little time for much else. Perhaps the warmer weather will help us enjoy some time outside with the boys to recharge our souls after the wet, dark winter.
