A touch of Pink.

Today Marks the day, three years ago that Ava Florence Beth Rosemeyer, got her wings.

 

While Ava may not be here anymore in the Physical sense. She lives on in the lives of so many people. 

In the three short years she was here, and the three long years she has been gone, she has touched. changed. altered. the lives of so many. 

I have been reading her mummy Sheye's blog for the last two years. and in those two years my life has been changed.

Sheyes words, her Photographs, her memories. are inspiring. 

Even on a struggly day, reading Sheyes words, puts everything into perspective, and reminds me to live my life to the fullest.

Thank you Sheye, Crayton, Luca, Mason and Ivy for sharing your lives with us. Thank you for sharing your daughter, your sister, your angel, your Super Princess, your AVA.

This is a quote that really inspires me.
"What has become clear to me though is that you can plan and hope all you want, you can imagine and presume and expect life to go a certain way but really, there is no watertight guarantee. All the days are “normal”. The happy ones, the sick ones, the bored ones, the tragic ones. I am no expert, I have less clarity than the average person but what I have found, because of One Normal Day, is this:
Live each day, every single day, with the understanding that one does not necessarily lead into the other. Hug your family. Tight. Put aside What Does Not Matter. Tomorrow could be a completely new kind of normal.”

And the day we made slime. 

The boys have faces I could never resist to photograph..

memories

I have hundreds and hundreds of photos of the boys, i was looking through my phone and found lots of cute photos, that too hold many lovely memories.

I only hope that when i have children of my own that they are even half as beauty-full as these boys.=)

 

One of the many days spent dressing up and playing superheroes =D

 

"Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesezels"

  

Homework time =)

 

Beauty-full smile

The Big Boys

I cant forget the big boys. Ashley and Kristian. <3

So here are the handsome boys...

ASHLEY

 Ash would have been 7 at the time of this photo.
He is wise beyond his years, he had the ability to make me smile and feel better no matter what was wrong, and could ALWAYS tell when someone was upset.
He is just a little bit of amazing,

 

Ash wasn't photographed as much as the others because from the time I started looking after them he was at school lots. 

This is Ash pulling a "stupid" face as he so nicely put it.
Usually when the camera was on him he would whip out a silly face.

KRISTIAN

Kristian is such a sensitive boy, hates seeing someone else upset.

He always makes me smile.
I love this photo because it shows him being him

I love this one because it shows how much he cares for his brothers

He always wanted them included in any way possible.

They are amazing boys, and I feel lucky to be referred to as their Big sister.
Even though Krisitian once told me "Youre as big as a bottom Emma" - I didn't quite know how to take it.
 

and a piece of Reece

After going through my photos of the  boys I could not resit posting photos of Reece.
Even as a 1 year old he has the biggest personality.
Breaks my heart I wont get to see him grow up into a charming toddler. Ill have to make the most of my visits.

Love you Reecey

his eyes are the deepest brown, deep enough to drown in. This photo was taken just after we arrived at the park.

 

Checking to make sure someone is following him, while he crawls away with his food  

Laughing. just after crying.

Finding something amusing. I love how he covers his mouth when he does his belly laugh

a little bit of Lachie

I have been in the new place for just over a week, although i am only just surviving the heat, Ollie the bunny has been living in the bath, and loves playing in the puddle of water.

It has been just over a month since i have seen the boys, and i miss them terribly, On arrival to Forbes however in the letterbox there was a lovely surprise in the form of a red envelope.-A Christmas card, knowing it would arrive in January but wanting to surprise me, on the front was the newest Christmas photo of the boys. I also learnt that they are expecting a new baby brother or sister sometime this year. I cant wait to meet and photograph the newest bundle of joy.

I have also decided with each blog i will add a photo. or two of the boys and a little bit of their quirkiness.

so with this post. I present to you. Mr Chicken Face Lachie...

In this one Lachie had picked a flower for me and i put it behind my ear so i wouldn't destroy it while pushing them on the swing. He ran off and picked another so he could have one the same as me. this was snapped just before we 'flew' to chocolate world to fight the chocolate monsters.

Here Lachie was meant to be 'helping' me clean out the textas and pencils boxes, instead he decided it was too hot to help clean. I guess it was the perfect time to pull silly faces though.

And here he is... "being silly" just before he threw his mat at me.

Even when he tries to get me to use me "angry voice" which never ever got used. he still manages to look super cute.

(all the boys were on a mission to hear my angry voice, because they had never heard it, and before i "swapped houses" they wanted to hear it... because as Mr Kristian says "its not fair")

=(

Yesterday was my last proper day looking after Ashley. Kristian, Lachlan and Reece.
I managed (just) to hold back all the tears.
Lachlan told me he has to live with me next year because my new house is number 5 and that will be his number next year. He kept asking why i wanted to swap houses and is he allowed to swap too.
I asked him what about his mum, and he simply replied, "you can be my mum" and when asked what about his dad, he asked "Who are your friends?" I listed a few names and he innocently asked "Can Terry be my dad?"
(if only it were that easy) this conversation made me tear up  I truly wish i could pack him up and take him with me, temper tantrums, bossiness and all.

I took lots and lots of photos, at which Lachie said "Don't you have enough yet Emma?" I could never have enough of you baby ever. =D
t will be hard not seeing the boys weekly. I'm going to miss them terribly.
