Present Day

Reasons why I haven't had a lot of time for blogging lately:

Dress ups, push ups, dancing, crafting, house renovations, chores and just chilling with my babies. Oh and a birthday for a very special man :)

Happy Present Day xx

Sophie Anne Upton

She finally arrived!

Sophie Anne Upton born 29th January 2012, 4.47kg and 51cm long.

Only 11 days overdue!

She is just gorgeous. I'd forgotten how small and snuggly a newborn can be! She just wakes to feed and then back to sleep, what a gem!

And her big sister thinks shes pretty amazing!

A New House

We are getting crafty!!! Today Izzy and I are building a princess house out of the new car seat box - I am WAY more excited than she is and have to stop myself from decorating the whole thing, reminding myself this is an activity for Izzy not me! Oh dear!

We started off with a box...

Cut out a door, some windows and made a little pointy roof. All very rough - nothing too fancy here!

Dolly likes it :)

We are adding some cladding to the exterior (Fairy wrapping paper stuck on with homemade flour glue!)

Izzy very quickly learnt to stick the pretty side up, but overall was way more excited about the paintbrush than the paper - that's my girl!!

Happy to climb in when she saw I was taking photos of her!

I did have to do a little finishing off myself once Izzy went to bed - Just to get the front facade finished and the door so I can attach them this afternoon. Izzy is obsessed with opening and closing doors at the moment so I'm hoping this will get her a little more interested!!

So stay tuned for more updates on our beautiful house!!!

2 Little Princesses!

Yep, we are having another girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A little sister for Izzy!!!

YAY!!!!!!

What A Week

WHAT A BUSY WEEK!

I'm exhausted!

I've spent the week installing displays out at Penrith - a fair trek from the Central Coast and a massive day when I've got to drop the princess at daycare near the office! Some days have been 300km+ of driving and needless to say I'm a little sleepy this morning :)

So this morning I'm enjoying a cup of tea while my 2 babies snuggle in bed together.

It's only 3 weeks until we can find out the sex of Baby Upton #2 and I'm unashamedly desperate for another girl - and I just can't get the thought of a twin girls room out of my head!

I want to snuggle up here next to the window!

Have a great weekend xx

The Party

Huge thanks to everyone who made our Baby Girl's birthday so special!!! xx

Happy Birthday

A year ago today a little angel came into our lives

Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl!

Thank you for the best year,

Full of fun, laughter, happiness, joy and only a few tears

We love you more than you will ever know.

Party Time

It's only 6 weeks until our baby girl turns 1! Where has the year gone?!

Time to start party planning!

Perhaps I should re-paint her highchair pink for the day!

Back in Blogland

We are back! Our computer had a little heart attack and it has taken a little while to get him fixed but finally, we are back to Blogland. I have so missed my daily inspiration!!!

But it's not like we haven't been busy... Izzy's big girl room is underway (stay tuned for updates), Mum's kitchen is selected, and most importantly there's been an engagement! Yep, my little bro Tom proposed to his girlfriend Bree last week and we are so happy for them! This means another Yarramalong wedding and a deadline for Mum's renovations. It's going to be another busy year!

But my current dilemma is choosing the perfect Blue/Grey colour for Isabelle's big girl room - something along these lines...
