Ethan & Angus

We moved into our house two years ago today! It was not finished then, and it's still not now, but slowly we are getting there. My DH worked so hard building this house, and my inlaws were saints to put up with us for the few months we were between houses... but gee it was nice to get into our own home again. Liam moved into a big bed, and started full time toilet training (something we couldn't do at MIL's) and it wasn't much later that I finally fell pregant with Ethan.


Here they are, Jess' gorgeous boys. For those who don't know, Ethan is the big one and Angus is the little one. They are so adorable. It's so EASY to get good photos of Angus... he's cute, he can't run away yet, and he's still happy to smile at the nutcase peeping out from behind the camera. LOL

And look at the two cuties down the bottom. They climbed up to the beach houses all by themselves and thought that little doorstep made the perfect seat for them both. Couldn't help but snap a pic of that. They were cuddling and everything, but I missed getting that on film.






















Never rains but pours - I never sub to more than one mag at a time, but recently decided to. Yesterday I had a email from SC requesting a layout that SM picked up a week or so ago, and today I had an email from SC requesting a recent layout, followed by another email from SM a few hours later requesting the same layout! And I booked in another photoshoot today. She's comming tomorrow afternoon, I really prefer mornings as the light is much better, but it was hard to find a time that suited, so that's when it's going to be. I did Ethan & Angus in the afternoon, and just moved everything over a bit, and their pics came out well (the inside ones). I then have another little girl booked in for Saturday morning (at the beach hopefully). Three shoots in one week! I told myself at Christmas time that I would never do four a week again, only two, but as a once off I'll cope. And with our 'operation backyard' starting the $ will come in handy... like they ever don't! LOL

Timber arrived today for our decking :) It's a start!

I've been trying to organise to have a cuppa with my lovely friend and old next door neighbour Sally for a while now. We thought yesterday would be good, but I cancelled as Jess was comming over, and we just decided we'd do it Thursday instead. Today has been constant text messages back and forth.
"Can't do Thursday - booked photoshoot"
"What about morning?"
"Liam has swimming - Night?"
"Can't do night, Friday?"
"Can do Friday morning - have Aidan in afternoon and dinner out at night"
"Can't do morning - Monica has swimming. Weekend?"
"Have photoshoot till 12, OK after, cooking dinner for inlaws pm"

PLEASE!!! How much organising can it take! I don't have time for work! LOL My calander looks like a graffiti (sp?) wall.

I need some good ideas for mothers day pressies! Any suggestions?
