I have been doing some craft work… I am enjoying painting and creating canvases at the moment!
This first one was done from a photo of Rooroo, taken when she was 2. It is inspired by paintings Jarrod’s cousin is doing!

A button canvas… Super simple, super cute! 
A painting of a fantail. Based on a cool photo i saw somewhere! 
And finally, a canvas i have started for Ruby. (sorry about the poor photo!)
We have also celebrated Joely’s 2nd birthday! He is such a little dude! Check out the long hair, and Ruby’s sunglasses!!!

And Zoe has learnt to ride a 2 wheeler!!! Jarrod took her training wheels off a week and a half ago, she is an expert already!

Oh, and one more thing……………………………..

Yep! We are expecting baby number 5!!!! Due in April next year. I have had terrible all-day-not-just-morning-sickness and have been in bed by about 7 each night! This is the real reason i haven’t been blogging!

Love that black and white painting…and the pinky one for Roo.
Z and O will be having bike races galore at next Whanga hols. O decided two weeks ago that he could ride his bike now with no trainers and hasn’t looked back.
Love to you and yours and bubba 5….are you finding out the flavour?
Love

Just came across your blog and thought I’d say hi! Wow, how exciting you are having number 5!! I have five children too and two of them were born in April. Are yours close together or were you clever and planned sensibly? Either way, I hope all goes well and do pop over and say hi sometime x
