Yesterday we went to Pete and Anns wedding. They both looked so beautiful and it was such a gorgeous wedding. After much deliberation over whether or not Harry and I were going to go we all ended up partying the night way at the Florentino. I had so much fun playing with all my Grossi cousins - Harry finally fell asleep around 9pm and we didn't get home until well after midnight. I hope you like the photos ... oh and a plug for our very good friend Vicki - she made my dress - how very clever is she!

Like any good party, my shoes were off and I danced the night away!

So Holly got a little lesson in theft yesterday, althought the lesson kind of backfired.

On our way to the reception we stopped at 7-11, and Holly some how walked out with a bottle of water. No, she didn't pay for it, so as soon as we realized Andrew took her back in and made her give it back to the attendant. About 2 minutes later she returned back outside still with a bottle of water - a little bit confused, I asked if she bought it this time - her answer: No he gave it to me! My daughter charmed the pants of the man at 7-11 to giving her a free bottle of water after stealing it?????

She also stole the camera and took this lovely montage of her Daddy!

it became all too much for one party goer!

our little munchkin crashed and didn't move for hours!

Yesterday afternoon we (meaning I. Mummy watched!) played in the "beach" outside while waiting for Aunty Nickee. It wasn't cold, Mummy even put boiling water in to make it more like a bath!

There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby ....

a note from mamma. ..

As you are now all well aware, I am totally addicted to taking photos and obsessed with taking photos of the joys of my life, Holly and Harry.

Now I know the golden rule is never to wake a sleeping baby, but I came dangerously close tonight when I couldn't help myself, I took photos (with a flash) of Holly sleeping ... as I said, im addicted ... and obsessed!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

from all your gorgeous grandchildren xx

Today we spent the day with all my cousins. We are so lucky to have each other, and although we are like a mini hurricane together, trash any house we enter, make more mess than the garbage man sees, and hit decibells that only dogs should be able to hear - we absolutly love each other to bits!

My Great Nan and Pop came all the way from the Gold Coast to visit me today! We had so much fun - we spent the morning at Monsalvat in Eltham, then off to my swimming lesson and then back home for a barby for dinner - lets hope Harry sleeps tonight!

Lunch at Monsalvat

A sunny afternoon on our front lawn ... reading the junk mail!

I decided we should all be cowboys ... and even though the sun was searing and the heat hit mid 30's, I thought a poncho would complete the look!

We had some stinking hot weather here last week, so Mummy put on her creative hat and pulled out the big guns .... FACE PAINT!!!
Mummy was very brave and let me have free range of the paint ... and her face!

Mummy was brave, but thats her job. Win on the other hand was so very trusting.... and patient!

Happy 5 month birthday Harry Pie!

Our little star is now rolling and flips himself onto his back as soon as we put him in the cot! If he is not tired, it can take a while to get him to sleep! Today he finally rolled all by himself (without the assistance of his big sister!) from back to front! Harry, you really are the most darling and placid little boy. You had us in stitches tonight laughing at yourself in the mirror! You love holding things and putting anything you hold in your mouth.

You are just gorgeous and we all love you xx

who could resist this face?

Like Father like Daughter

Last week Bella ended up in the Doggy hospital for 4 nights with Pancreatitis, Andrew had all 4 wisdom teeth out in Hospital and our little friend Ginger ended up in Hospital as well. But our stars have re-aligned and everyone is healthy happy and out of hospital ... What a week!
