still catching up......

Again, these are oldest at the top, most recent at the bottom.
1. Lucy being very cheeky and standing up on the swing.  She has been the biggest climber of the lot.
2.  Annabelle posing for a photo we needed for a school thing.  I think this was taken in Oct/Nov 2013 when she was 6
3.  Matilda doing the same thing.
4. Damian's 40th birthday cake.  Lots of fun to make and eat!
5.  Matilda got glasses this year.  They are really gorgeous.
6. Lucy looking really cool.
7.  My birthday
8. Lucy at a friends house one day.  She was really into hats at this stage and has one of the big girls hats on.
9.  The kids having an absolute ball at a park one day with some of their school friends.
10, 11, 12 & 13.  All Christmas photos.  The first one is Olivia drawing on the front path, directing Santa where to go.  The second one is of all four kids writing to Santa.  Next is the night before Christmas and the following one is Christmas morning.
14. One of their Santa pressies.  Matilda in the black spots, Olivia in pink and Annabelle in blue.
15. Matilda after having her teeth fixed (again).  She was still pretty groggy at this stage.
16. Lucy loving her sushi (well, she loves food in general, but I like this one)
17. Lucy and Olivia playing the keyboard they were given for Christmas. I think we have heard the demo about 500 times! 
18. Someone, Olivia, just a little excited about going to kindy!  She was all dressed and ready to go ...... a week before her first day.  This one was taken mid January
19.  This one was actually taken in October while we were camping. The kids all sleep on a queen mattress and this was how I found them when we went to bed.  Too cute!

5 months of catching up....

Very hard to believe it has been about 5 months since I put photos up.
The way these ones run, the oldest ones are at the top of the post.

1. Olivia at her Physie concert - obviously she was very excited.
2. Olivias 4th birthday
3. Annabelle reading to Olivia - one of those lovely quiet moments
4. Matilda (foreground) and Annabelle at their swimming lesson.  Swimming has been a massive focus of ours for the last year (kids wouldnt put their faces in the water about 12 months ago) and it makes me so proud to see them loving their swimming lessons and progressing each week.
5. Craft afternoon..... Olivia, Matilda in the middle and then Annabelle.  Their crowns were 'Princesses of something' , eg flowers, just that I did the activity so long ago and now I cant remember who was what.
6. Lucy walking.  This was taken before she was one, she was well and truly walking before 1.  I think she was near running at 1. And very proud of herself.
7. Lucy is a very early riser, so I have taken to walking the dog (with Lucy in the pram) as soon as she wakes us up.   This one was an extra early morning.  I have seen some gorgeous sunrises over the last few months!
8. Lucy's first birthday
9. Just a nice pic of Lucy
10 & 11.  The great Cake off! Matilda asked for a trampoline,which I did.  Annabelle for Minnie mouse, which Damian did.  He won this year.  (and Olivia had a 'pinata cake', but I missed the photos on the day).
12. Another craft day
13.  Learning how to play elastics.  Takes me back to my school days!
14. Little Lucy looking gorgeous.
