mr. B and Diana F+

a bit behind on post, yes i know...

i'm sitting in a library on a cold cold Christchurch at the moment... actually, i lied that it's being cold. the sun is shinning so hotly i think it might tan my legs while i write this blog. hahaha... it was raining and so cold this morning. it's always nice when the sun decided to pop out and say gid'day.

this post is dedicated to our besties... our benjamin's god parents. 'cos they're awesome and we miss them x

hubby-sick

so we said our goodbye to the coolest bestest daddy ever... My husband.

He's off to New Zealand already while the kiddies and I enjoy Australia just a wee bit longer.

yup. i am hubby sick. (kinda like home sick but i don't even know if that's even grammatically correct) missing him so much! anyway... These pics were some snippets just an hour before we had to go... no one wanted to pose for me. gosh.

until recently, i never knew living so close to the beach is just pure awesome. seriously.

Our new pad // temporarily

So here is the big news... we are MOVING to New Zealand!!!!!

yup. i've said it!

we have packed our whole life away in a container and it'll be ready to ship across the Tasman sea soon soon soon. We are temporarily living the Gold Coast life right in the heart of Surfers Paradise! sooo nice. the kids loves it. beach right across from the hotel, seaworld is just 5 minutes drive, take away food around the corner... and as for me, i've had bubble tea 3 days in a row! heaven!!! haha

oh, that's right. so yes... we don't take this decision lightly but we are so excited about the adventure God has put right in the front for us! I am still coming back to the Gold Coast for photography so don't worry to those who have booked their wedding and family pics... cos i'll be back for them. yay! *really... it's an excuse for me to come back to see all of your beautiful faces xxx

home bound

day 12 // a bit sad to say goodbye to our favourite country (besides australia)

to be honest... i was sad to say bye bye to the noodle house. all the asians in Christchurch says... amen.

first day at school

it's been the talk for months. today is the day.

she's so excited, got her school bag ready, water bottle ready, all go go go.

this is my little girl. all grown up.

on our 6 years.

day 08 // we're on the road once again. to the city of Nelson; top of south island to spend the night with my sister in law and her hubby. we left Christchurch after lunch and had a few stop over: toilet stop, chuck up on the way, need new nappy, not to forget... photo stop!

such a nice day to spent it with my most absolute favouritest people in the world!

fly fishing - fish fish fish

day 05 // it was time for us to go back to Christchurch and say good bye to the beloved Bannockburn batch. Had such a lovely time with the in laws fly fishing in this cute little nook, where the water is so fresh and clear!

wine tasting country

and yes... i'm in it! still!

day 04 // wine tasting with the in laws and the fothers

it was so delightful.

happy birthday to Jesus

hello! Happy Christmas 2011! sorry i'm a bit late but today is the only day i've got internet on my lappy. so yay! hope everyone had a beautiful day spent with family and friends celebrating the best guy's birthday who's ever walked this earth; Jesus.

in the other side of the note. look what my big boy and my princess got for Christmas.

boy toy!

the smiliest baby in town

i have to be a totally biased mom to know that God has blessed me with the happiest son in the world. not to mention, so easy to feed (which is a big deal for me since i have a daughter who takes ages to finish her food), easy to put to sleep (again, we used to deal with a screaming baby when we put tave down for a nap/ sleep), and he is so easy to entertain. thus... the constant smile!

last weekend i had the honor of shooting a beautiful couple's wedding, and much to my surprise... the groom's name is Asa. Some of you know I have an Asa who is in heaven having fun with our Jesus now.

I got to know this Asa and his bride Jenna... the most beautiful couple; inside and out. I fell in love with them; and makes me want to get married again to Jeremy (as usual haha) and i can't wait to share with you their love story in picture form!

So these picture of my beloved son... made me pause and think about how grateful I am what God has blessed me with. an amazing family, amazing career which i love doing, faith filled journey, unbelievable friends and unreal clients who made me fell in love with their story, their personality, their love!

Thank you for those who read my blog too. I'm sending you much love and hope you feel blessed with the pictures i've put here.

fishes

in the bath tub. rub a dub dub

cubby house.

someone special really wants me to build her a cubby house. so she can have a nap in it.

she went through the linen cupboard and pulled anything remotely pink to build it. bless.

and of course... this is how much she wants me to build one.

at this moment... she's camping out in my room. bless her cotton socks off. my little darling.

potty morning for my little man. today is the 3rd day!

from my end: save one nappy in the morning

from B's end: quiet time in the morning in the bathroom

preciousness { Gold Coast Baby Photographer }

my little prince is 8 months a couple of days ago.

i am so so in love with my family! sigh... so so happy.

ps. how yummy is he hey? crazy eyelashes (good thing both of my kids inherit their lashes from their daddy... not the ridiculous short n stumpy lashes from their mommy haha)

ps 2. if you're wondering what the yellow stuff stuck to his nose area... it's leftover pumpkin from his lunch yummmm

bambooty baby

someone's on the move. guess who?! yup. little mister mister is CRAWLING!

my life will never be the same again. cute army crawl and he's so fast. oh my!

oh, have i told you... that I'm a cloth nappy convert! yup, done my dues to the environment! strangely enough, i'm actually LOVING my cloth nappies, would you believe?! these cutesies are from bambooty and they're the BESTest + cutest ever! so easy to clean, saving me money, and a bit of a secret... i feel such an accomplishment and pride every time i hang them up on the line. sigh... so good!

so blessed.

to have these two in my life. I have the privilege to raise these two beautiful kiddies, who just love each other so much.

whenever Benjamin is awake from his nap, Tave was the first person who he was looking for. Many mornings that Jeremy and I wake up in the morning to find these two chatting with each other in Benjamin's cot.

another word.... sooooo blessed. i feel so warm and fuzzy.

just another family blog.
