Hyde Park... So much fun.
The girls dressed up just for the occasion :-)
So many photos taken.. but thought I would share my favourite 3 and give you a bit of sunshine on this not so sunshiney day...
and this one (and dare I say my favourite for the day.. taken by Aunty Mel..)
Hoping for some sunshine and more play soon...

It happens to all of us. Our kids get sick. Some sicker than others. I thank God every day that I have 3 healthy children. So when one of of your kids gets struck down - to the point of "I can't get out of bed Mum" you just want to click your fingers and make them better.
Kaiya wasn't well yesterday.. but then perked up in the afternoon and I thought she was all better. It is actually VERY common for Kaiya. She will run a fever for a day - then be fine. So when she awoke today with a fever again and said "I can't get out of bed Mum" my heart sank. My normally enthusiastic and spritely girl is looking pale and exhausted again.
So a big couch/bed day today for her. Thanks Aunty Mel for all of the great books for the iPad. She is having a great time with them!
Fingers crossed she is better tomorrow.. and that if you have a sick one out there.. they are better soon too.
If not (and you have an iPad - not sure if they are iTouch/Phone compatible) go and check out these books..
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lesmore
and Kaiya is LOVING this App that is FREE.. They can draw and talk to make their own story book. It is fantastic!

I love the colours of Autumn.. and LOVE heading out with the big kids to the park (Amelie was crook so got to stay home with Daddy).. We are so lucky to have such a picturesque park just around the corner!
who could resist a leaf throw with ALL of those leaves just lying there!
Happy Days...

I love this photo.. so natural.. this to me is what photography is. Capturing a small slice of life.

Today was a mentally exhausting day. We have been faced with a potential issue with Kaiya.. nothing life threatening, but to me - as her mother.. it is a big deal - as I am sure it would be to all mothers (and fathers).
It has raised so many questions and doubts inside of me today..
Why didn't I see it sooner? I should be more involved with my kids. I work too much, I don't pay enough attention.. all of these things (and so many more) have been circling in my head all day.
It is something that can be fixed over time, something that will require a lot of patience from all of us.. but it just hurts me down to my very core to know that my (big) little girl is going to have to struggle through this. I just want to wrap her up in cotton wool and protect her. Stop her from feeling any form of inadequacy and self doubt.
Don't get me wrong - she'll be fine - we have a great support network around, and the kids now have a mother (and father) that will be paying a lot more attention to them, and a little less attention to other things.
I love you sweetheart - and we'll be there for you always..
Onwards and upwards we go.

These photos were taken several weeks ago while Cooper was playing Cricket. Looking through my photos before - they didn't really capture my attention. Second time around.. a different story.
At a very different point in my life, only 3 weeks ago.
For a long time I have been wondering where this journey is taking me... wondering if I am doing the right things. As Wife, a Mother a Business Owner... I think it is natural for us to feel this way... as women we are always wondering whether we are giving enough... too much..? It is such a fine line to walk.
Then... I took a leap. A leap of faith.. Partly inspired by a quote that Angie Warren placed on her Facebook page...
"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be critisized anyway"
- Eleanor Roosevelt
What am I waiting for? It is time to discover - discover what is on the other side, what the the next period in my life will bring. In my heart this is the right step to take. Now.
And my family and friends - I thankyou whole heartedly. Just for being you. Just for being there. Because without all of you... I would never have had the courage to discover.

Having a quick play today... wanted to grab some more natural shots, and have a play with some white space..
Hope you like them :-)
and finally - i jumped on the other side of the camera... thanks Kaiya... you always seem to bring out the best in me :-)
Hope those of you in WA have enjoyed your long weekend.. We certainly have.. Back to the grind tomorrow though!

Am supposed to be sleeping as I needed an early night.. but just felt the need for a quick (or not so quick) edit.
Another shot from yesterday with Kaiya..
I just LOVE those glasses on her.. she looks better than me and boy am I JEALOUS!!! Gorgeous thing that she is..
Kaiya asked me after I had taken these photos -
"Mum - why do you take so many photos of me..? Am I going to be famous one day"
She certainly wishes..
