2/52 - The two of them

2/52

Oh but they are lovely! Although Mr A has been with us for 18 months, it feels like only recently have I recognised the difference between our lives before and after these beauties arrived. I guess it is because prior to having children, Summer holidays were about travel, wineries, sedate beach excursions and long lunches.  Although this all still occurs (although I would drop the word 'sedate'), life is governed by nap times, ensuring we have packed lunches, adequate sunscreen, water bottles and hats and not being out too late too many nights in a row. This year, I hope to blog a little more frequently. My photography business is getting a little busier and with my babes becoming a little older, I'm able to put more time into documenting what I am doing. Hopefully I'll be able to share some of the work I've been doing.
Happy 2016!

Arlo: Loves the kindy pickup and the ensuring play afterwards.

Sienna: I love seeing her confidence starting to blossom. She went on the skate park and played with the "big boys".

Back again!

Arlo: Always, always on the go.

Sienna: Her happy place is on a swing.

Spring walking

 

Well, hello there! 

 Now that we are a family of four, weekends are even more precious. For my husband, it is a chance to spend time with the kiddos. As for myself, it is wonderful to have an extra pair of hands and the chance for some time off from the nappy/ feeding/ answering 3.4 million questions before 9am. Even though I am out and about during the week, I do get a bit of a hankering for wide, open spaces as life with a newborn requires a bit of time indoors.

Now the the weather has started to warm up, we have been exploring our local bush. Pre-kids we would have chucked the dog in the car and headed down south but that is far too much of a mission at the moment so local "wild" areas are our preference. It is nice to discover some new places so close to home.

 Miss S requirements for our family adventure included flowers, rocks to climb and a swim. We headed to Walyunga National Park located in the Perth foothills. The wild flowers were glorious, lots of rock pools and plenty of fresh air for mama to breathe in. 

My crappy Iphone photos don't do the area much justice but it was breathtakingly beautiful. There were a range of walks available. We did a six kilometre one easily with our three year old. Our baby boy Arlo is not liking the Ergo at the moment so we took the pram friendly trail. 

 

Hope you are enjoying the change of seasons too wherever you are in the world.

Sienna: At the river again, our second home. Clips, binoculars and the colour pink are your main obsessions.

Really loved these beautiful images - those legs and that smile and this shot took my breath away

Sienna: For once I captured the colour of your eyes...just like your dad's.
