Wow, time has flown!

Isabella - 5 1/2 months

It's amazing how quickly time goes by when you have a new person to love and cuddle and get to know. Isabella is such a relaxed and chill little chicken and has fitted in just as I've heard third children do. It is hard to imagine that she wasn't always here. And as missficklemedia has so rightly pointed out, there have been no photos since September (heck, can you believe that...), so I am here to remedy that right away!

Isabella on Christmas Day - almost 4 mths

Isabella at 4 mths - Don't you just adore the face of a sleeping baby?!  I could just sit and stare.....

Isabella at 4ths - There's something about this picture... the fact that she's so interested in
what's beyond the window perhaps?

Trying out the highchair for the first time, with her two older brothers, Finn and Zak.  She doesn't seem too sure, does she!  And rightly so, with two such mad brothers!  (Zak certainly got the olive skin in the family.  Lucky duck)

And another delicious one of Bella at 5 1/2 mths.

I often think of those last couple of weeks of pregnancy when I was sooo big and she was pushing and pushing on me with her strong legs and how that time seemed to be endless, whilst also knowing that it would very soon come to an end and the lovely creative time I was indulging myself in would come to an end too and be taken over by the all-consuming task of taking care of a newborn and how to blend that with taking care of her two older brothers.  When I think of that time, it seems like the last 6 months have gone in a flash.  So fast.  And only yesterday Bella had her first food.... and a whole new era begins.  Such blessings.

And now that the issues with blogger and posting photos are all fixed (thanks to missficklemedia for letting me know!) I shall be back here more often.  You all have much more patience than me, obviously, as I just couldn't stick with a blog post long enough to get the photos where I wanted them.  But now, all of these frustrations are forgotten and I shall be back soon to show you some of the creative fun I've been working on.

We're off to Leura in the Blue Mountains this weekend for 4 days.  Zak's mind is boggled by the idea that he'll be missing a day or so of school to have a little holiday with his grandparents who are renting a house with us for the weekend.  Do you know how there are some places in the world that just feel like home?  Well, that's what the Blue Mountains feel like to me.  So, I'm really looking forward to it.

Take care, talk soon,
Ange
