my kitchen helper

there she goes sitting down on her "helping spot". Every time after we finished the mess seems to accumulate around that spot.

My little princess, can't believe she's so grown up. love her to bits.

Sorry about the slack on posting blogs. Life has been so full on with moving country. Golly gosh! and it's not easy being apart from the hubby (who seems to pick up my slack during wedding season big time quite immensely)

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

hello number 9.

funnest family session!

a family of 11. Mom + Dad and 9 beautiful kiddies later... still in LOVE as ever!

no matter if its high tide, raining and massive waves, nothing will stop them from having the bestest fun (this includes climbing the rocks... yup, and that's also mom holding her newborn bub climbing all those rocks)

introducing... little miss number 9. isn't she beautiful!

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.

cute as a button

the new addition to my beautiful friend Bek and Grant

Bek and I were pregnant at the same time when we went to Shine (christian female leadership summit) back in 2007! funny how Tave and Ry were in our tummy back then and now they're playing together. sooo cool.

anyway,

this is little Abby. cute as a button.

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
