Grateful

We are so grateful to have had this little lady in our life for a year! She brings all of us so much joy!

Growing Up

Ella turned 14!! One of her birthday wishes was more ear piercings...doubles and a helix. All new lingo for us. Doubles refers to a second set of holes located above the first set while a helix is in the top of the ear and in her case only on one side. As the helix goes through the cartilage,  the 'gun' is not used but rather a needle makes the hole! 

Anyway Ella was happy to get her piercings done and according to her the process wasn't too painful.

As for a party, Ella had a few friends sleepover - claiming they didn't get to sleep until 2am! Here's to the new era of staying up - at least they weren't noisy and the rest of us got a little more shut eye!

Inspiration

The recent Photo Access school holiday workshop has spurred on Ella's internet in photography. Turns out that her wardrobe is a great spot for her shots to be displayed and admired!

Backgarden Addition

With my birthday money from Mum and Dad, I bought a weeping cheery tree as a feature tree for our back garden! Hopefully it will have some beautiful flowers in spring, which will look fantastic from Katy's window. The garden is slowly evolving and I have still much work to do.

Brrr

AFL comes to Canberra.We joined Jase & co, Rob and Mira, Gareth to watch Western Bulldogs vs GWS Giants on a chilly Friday evening. We came prepared all rugged up - beanies, thermals and puffy jackets! The actual game was a close match for the first 3/4 but then the Bulldogs ran away with a clear victory in the last 1/4. A fun night out!

Winter Vege

Planted out some vege seedlings for winter.... red cabbage, spinach, a few varieties of lettuce, kale, broccoli and broad beans.

All growing well especially as Indi hasn't taken any interest in them!

Is it a Dog or Unicorn?

I may have been know to dress up my first dog, a toy poodle called Tinkerbell and push her around in a pram, however since then I can't say I've ever been one to buy clothes for my dogs. Our girls though are a little like the younger me and seeing though times have very much changed, decided to dress Indi up. Specifically Katy bought Indi her very own costume / jumper - a pink unicorn suit. Despite the fact that it is a few sizes too small, Indi doesn't seem to mind wearing it, especially with the current drop in temperature and after the most recent haircut that was rather short...
