it's been a while!

yes it's absolutely time for a blog update! it truly feels like ages since i have done anything remotely close to creative on the computer but in the meantime it has been a super exciting last couple of months for us!

back in april we were thrilled to discover that we will become a family of four in december! a little brother or sister for eamon - its going to be so much fun :) after a rather intense period of morning sickness/fatigue i am finally feeling like i'm coming 'out of the cloud' and getting back into normal things again. there is so much to do! as much as i want to enjoy this special time i also want to get as many things done as possible before i become attached 24/7 to an infant again! we'll see what happens :)

winter is well and truly upon us! cold nights and super fresh mornings! definitely a lot colder than i expected of our first winter back in the sunny state :) but still a truly beautiful time. we have been spoilt with lots of sunny days and eamon & i have been a bit lazy in the sun at times. i love the bare winter trees and the clear still skies.

today it has been a year since we arrived here from dear little tassie - can you believe it??? its crazy! we are loving it here but we miss tasmania heaps. i miss the lovely people - our beautiful family & friends. ben misses the mountains - of course - and not much else. maybe time to plan a little holiday to tassie soon.

anyway i will leave you with a super duper assortment of photos courtesy of the lovely instagram. i'm a little bit addicted!! so excuse the poor photographic quality for now. my dslr hasn't been out much lately! x

    I'm so sad the photo didn't work, BUT - that is such exciting news re: another sweet pea on the way - c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s ! ! ! I am sitting here grinning in the camper trailer (at midnight), so thanks for making my night :) I'm glad you're feeling better and praying you'll receive all you need in the months ahead. Eamon is going to make the cutest oldest bro!
    Would love to pop in for a chat / coffee / cookie / all of the above... but alas, the distance is our foe, boo. Miss your lovely faces. God bless xx
