See the bunny ears? Such a Joker is little Ice :)
#babyice's Aunt made this for him. It is so sweet - each "bobble" has special meaning. He is really very loved this baba!
Sleeping darling
My favourite type of shot - cutesy wutesy toes :)
The delicate balance - tiny baba, Daddy's safe arm.
The tiny fist.
Snuggled
Linked with mom, love
Take note of how Mr 2 weeks old is FLIRTING with the camera. That is not wind....he is looking at me, and smiling.....
Watch out girls! Here comes #babyice ;)

The Bear
Tweet
215 days ago
So a whole lot of my photography is of Matti - son #1. I do have son #2 - "Bear", and he has just turned one :) He rocks. He laughs, smiles, chills and is happy pretty much constantly. He has moments where he narrowly escapes death due to pneumonia and RSV and other wild tropical diseases he picks up - not sure how, but apparently common nonetheless.
Presenting, in his very own blog post, my darling Reilly Mark Bear Scott :)
I love this one LOTS. Same as the other one, and LOTS :) I LOVE being a boy mommy. I LOVE being the mommy to such a naughty, happy, loving bunch of little okes. It seriously brings me ridiculous amounts of joy [ssssh, I am supposed to moan about this stuff though :P ]

If not on twitter, the title of this blogpost will be very confusing! Basically, a woman called acidicice, and her husband rudicowboy [their "user names"] are having a baby shortly, and baby has been dubbed #babyice :)
I was thrilled and jumped at the opportunity to play photographer, and learn from @queenofcomplex and @andrevr !!! [If you know them, you will understand why and how lucky I am!!!]
Here is a tiny taste of what I did today....
Thanks so much for the chance to do this - GREAT fun :)

The boys move a year forward
Tweet
220 days ago
In the last week, my oldest son has turned four, started school, and re-signed up for SWIMMING lessons! My youngest son turns one on Tuesday. After honestly, the worst year of my life last year, I am SO thrilled and excited to say he "made it" to one!!! It has been THE most INSANE roller coaster ride, with bad health, near death experiences, emotional shatterings never mind breakdowns, family issues [extended, not internal ;)], husband travelling a whole ton more than usual. It was awful. This year, as the boys turn a whole year older, I feel empowered. There is a light at the end of this very long tunnel, and I can FINALLY see it.
Congratulations my angel boys....here's to many more years *clink*
The soccer/name Cupcakes for Matti
The Bear cupcake for Reilly (we call him Bear]
Bear
The decor for the tiny kiddies - modelled here by George
Soccer blowers - much cooler than those twirl out party blower thingies :)
The aprty pack/bucket/food container - each child had a Lazy Town character on their bucket.
The front cover of the CD invite. They left the party with all the party images on a CD - memories for years to come as a thank you - party pack gift, and in place of party pack sweets. Yay me :)

Rainy summer day
Tweet
233 days ago
This is one of the largest old trees I have seen in this area. There are quite a few of them, but still, I never have my camera, and the grace of this one is remarkable.
The rain was so welcome, and left all too quickly. The children had a ball dancing in the rain and splashing in their wellingtons - how many of us can *actually* say we have danced in the rain? :)

14th January 2010 - playing
Tweet
236 days ago
Just messing around. Today, only labels or an arb comment :)
This spaghetti is, in actual fact, blue. It's really for the babies in messy play - tactile and visual stimulation [and a bit of nosh too haha], but it seems it keeps the older kids fascinated as well :)
Tomorrow brings more sunshine and opportunity :)

Sometimes, lots of words are needed to explain things. Sometimes, only images. Today, is one of those only images days.

Gran

240 days ago
My Gran leaves Cape Town tomorrow and travels back home. It's been so nice seeing her again - although sadly I didn't see as much of her as I would have liked. We have been so busy - and she and my mom have been gallavanting haha :)
This is what I take away from today:
My Dad planted the Rosemary out - it has since gone mad. Yay :)
Matti hiding - I didn't take this shot, but how cool is it anyway? :)
The herb garden goes mad....
The tamato flowers on the plant that is actually out of control - it's huge!
A cool shot of my love.
Best way to mark any occasion in my house - BRAAI :) [Bbq]
Reilly leaves a pile of toys now everywhere he is plonked. He learned to crawl [well he started] today, and so the pile is now left behind for newer, funner things :)
What happens when you grow your own maniacal tamato bush? It produces lots and lots of tomatoes :) Very nice ones too - we may have to go into the sauce business however!!

Resized images have now seemed to be the only way to do this. The watermarking looks awful. So images will be smaller.....

Clearly, the above are Iguanas :) we really should give each a pet name though?

My mom decided to take us to butterfly world today - was very cool, considering none of us had been yet. I took the camera along to see what I could play around with. I had fun! Will post the images over a few posts - please comment or email me if you know the name of the animals? Thanks!

New Year 2010 - moon
Tweet
248 days ago
The moon eclipsed partially, and was considered a Blue Moon - on New Year's Eve! What a good sign of things to come - things new and strange and out of the ordinary. I believe a sign of good things to come....
moon 1
moon 2
moon 3
Had a need to do a bit of research - so here is what I found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_moon#Blue_moons_between_2009_and_2016
There are more links from there - interesting to know, that even though it happened like a firework display from the cosmos on New Years, it will happen again - soon ;)
