Sweetie Pie

Today I had a photo session with a real sweetie pie. Miss E was just so lovely and full of smiles for me today....in fact, she was hamming it up for the camera. I think we have a future actress in the making. Here are some pics from today's session:

Too cute..

My favourite pic from today, love this cheeky expression:

Did she just roll her eyes at me?

All right Miss E. I forgive you. With a smile like that, how could I not?

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day all you wonderful Dads out there!

Today was as perfect as you could get for me. My boy woke me up with the biggest smile on his face and then we spent the morning on our daily walk around the neighbourhood. The sun was shining and birds were chirping and even Pudpud (the cat that adopted us) was particularly affectionate today. Then when hubby woke up, our little guy surprised him with some new shirts and daddy's favourite chocolate...Toblerone. Then we went for a drive and bought some fish and chips which we shared under a shady tree at Trigg Beach followed by a family stroll along the beach front. Yes....it was a perfect day.

As it was Daddy's day, he requested that no photos be taken of him today so I obliged. However, here's one of my hubby when he was around the same age as our little guy is now:

Can you see the similarities?

Spring is in the air

I love spring. For me, it's the ideal season. Lovely warm days to enjoy, punctuated by the occasional rain. The grass still looks lovely and green from the winter's rain and it's warm enough that you can go out and enjoy it and let's not forget the beautiful flowers that come into bloom in spring.

Now, I'm not much of a gardener myself, but I only had to look in my own backyard to be rewarded by nature's beauty and I thought I'd take this opportunity to share these with you.


Nothing says "Spring" like a yellow daisy:

and these freesias are just divine:

I have no idea what these flowers are but they remind me of cherry blossoms:

Our kumquat tree laden with fruit:

and my favourite find in the garden today:

Who knew life could be so sweet?
