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.

Ava

This should have been posted weeks ago, but i haven't blogged for ages.
August the 22nd should have been Ava Rosemeyer's 6th birthday, but she is forever frozen in time and memory as a 3 year old.
This year is different however, Sheye Ava's mum decided to start a perfect tradition that being a tea party being held in Ava's memory each and every year starting now on this day.
She posted her idea on her blog, and people from all over the world took part in celebrating Ava.
The pictures were perfect.
Lachie and I held a tea Party for Ava, with Boots being our guest of honour. We ate chocolate cupcakes, since Lachie insisted they were Ava's favourite, chocolate dipped strawberries and strawberry milkshakes.
Lachie told me he wishes Ava could have shared the cupcakes and strawberries, and wanted to save one for when he sees her.

Ava and Isabelle

These two Beautiful girls...... They havce changed the way I view things.
Their Mummies, Daddies, Sisters and Brothers, they are so Brave... I admire them so much.
Lately I have found myself thinking of these little angels alot more lately, mabye its the lead up to Christmas.....
I have started to put together a collection on little Ava decorations, suitable for the Super Princess... to send up to her family, Im looking for something for each of Sheye's Gorgeous children to hang on the tree, for Ava, so far I have found a few small things... but none that fully define and portray Ava.

Thinking of you both always

Keep watching over everyone

This month

This month is a month of so much heart ache.
First there was Isabelle's birthday, which just recently passed

But later this month there is also Andrew's birthday, it will be the first of many his family has to get through without him.

I am still and always will be so amazed as to how these families get through these hard times.
I cannot imagine how much it would hurt them and how much heart ache they are feeling.
It breaks my heart just to think about it.

Today was a good day.
I met Kayla, even briefly it was still worth it. =]

Im halfway through a new video
will post it on here when its perfected

<3

Tomorrow

Is Isabelle's Birthday
So I made her a video.
It's not as good as I would have liked it to be.
But its okay.



Danielle, My thoughts are with you all tomorrow.
