Makin' memories for mum...

I'm really trying my best to catch up but darn it, life just keeps happen'n  :)

So anyhow here is a super sweet family I worked with last year.  The sisters had a special birthday present for their mum planned and it involved watermelon, aqua, white, a retirement village and a little bit of sneakiness!!!  Sounds like a crazy gift right???  Well in actual fact it was a Fantastic gift.

Photos of their families to give to mum/nanna. A moment in their life. Who they are, where they are at. The women they have become. Something tangible and real. Memories that will last a life time. Moments that will bring back memories in years to come.

Memories of 2 sisters holding an empty photo frame cause the crazy photographer lady asked them too... and well, they are just too polite to say no!

Memories of silly giggle's over nothing...

of kickin back with the man you love...

There is also the little things to remember. The way little miss C holds her hands together in laughter...

or maybe the way master C could stick his tongue out through the gap in his teeth (very cool)...

It is always nice to remember what it feels like to be held by your soul mate...

 and the way it makes you feel when you are all together...

When you look back at that moment together, hopefully it will make you smile...

and then there is the memories of cousins and all the crazy antics they get up to together....

not forgetting the silly things siblings can do...especially Miss A and Master T !!!

Just being together for a hour or two can create the most joyful, lasting memories and bring a special gift to someone that we love.  Time together is so precious and so  important. Without it we can not build those memories...

 so go and make a memory today. whether it's playing Uno after dinner, letting the kids have a super large bowl of ice cream or maybe just kissing on the lips in front of the kids, a camera and some senior citizens at the local retirement village...

Puppy dog tails....

well after the title of the last post - this seemed appropriate.
Little Luke came into the world earlier then expected hence his nick name. The first boy can be an adjustment in family life - especially so when there are 4 sisters before you. No hand me down clothes, different rules for nappy time. The one constant though is LOVE.  Regardless of the colour of the jumpsuit the love is just as strong, as deep and as pure.....

There is a lot to see when you are baby number 5 and it can be exhausting work...

  Sometimes you just need to kick back and relax...

However when you are in the company of your 4 big sisters, there is not much time for sleep...

But there is always time for a kiss...

Remember the chair???   I think Luke is a perfect fit.

Speaking of perfect fit - I also think Luke is a perfect fit right here...

and right here...

Little Luke is so very blessed to be a part of this family. He will grow up knowing that he is precious, that he is special and that he belongs. He will also grow up surrounded by love. I think that is a perfect fit....
