One

I know that I have been slacking in my blogging lately - it relates directly to how much sleep I have been getting. When I am getting lots of sleep and am full of energy lots of blogging gets done, when I am lacking in sleep even the most simple jobs seem like too much.

Anyway ...

Vienna turned 1

I can't believe that for over a year now we have had this little girl in our lives. That she started out this small ...




And is now so big,


Her birthday was a great success, we had a lovely party at the Auckland Botanic Gardens and Vienna definitely liked her Birthday Cake! She showed off her new walking trick to those who hadn't seen it before and loved being able to play outside. She quickly got the hang of opening all her fantastic presents - thank you so much to everyone!

Pirongia Market 2010

Going to the Pirongia Market has been a tradition for me for quite a few years now and Carrie has joined me for the last 3 or 4 years. Unfortunately it rained a lot at this years market but that didn't stop Vienna from enjoying the sights at her 2nd market (the first she couldn't see from inside her warm and toasty womb!). She rocked out to the bagpipes, ate hot chips from the lions food caravan, looked at all the crafts and enjoyed spending some time Mum and our peeps Carrie and Taryn.

Having the push chair was a bit tricky with the rain and umbrellas but it sure rocked for carrying our shopping!!!

Did you see my cool umbrella? It was a birthday gift from Kat - I love it!

My Heart Is Yours

I can't believe that she has grown so fast, almost a year has past and my baby is growing up ... this is back from when she was still Tiny and not yet Little.
