Vincent Turns One

24.10.18  POST CATEGORY  :  Together | Lifestyle | Children | Family | Celebration
Its not every day you get invited to go to an Alice in Wonderland teaparty, of course they really should be everyday events because they are soooo much fun to attend. Vincent got to celebrate his very first birthday with his family and cousins in his Grandparents beautiful garden and although I'm not sure he really new what all the fuss was about, one thing I am sure of, is that he thought the bright blue cupcakes were pretty delicious, along with the little blue candles too!

TranzAlpine

2.8.18  POST CATEGORY  :  Together | Personal | Lifestyle | Family

The end of the school holidays saw us take a train trip across the Canterbury planes to the West Coast on the Tranz Alpine. It was lovely to have extended family with us, let's just say the tubing that took nearly a whole hour just to get into ones wetsuits, wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without everyone there! No one would know who we were talking about when we drop 'Mr Green' a newly invented term, into converstations from now on either unless you were actually there ;-) The Tranz Alpine is one of the top ten train journeys in the world and I can understand why, although being a fellow kiwi, it just seems 'normal'.

The cloud formations as we left Christchurch were pretty impressive...

Long grass and little legs

These days we don't just have 'urban sprawl', we have 'international sprawl' where one's family's can be spread far and wide. That often means we're not together that often and when the opportunity does come along, it's nice to 'cease the day' and get some photographs taken.  Click to view full blog post
Look at those lashes and cute little lips... its hard to wake anyone who looks this cute when they're asleep let alone a toddler, so we gave River as long as possible...

Dee & Simon's Country Wedding

27.2.18  POST CATEGORY  :  Together | Wedding | Celebration
It's not every girl who would patiently wait for thirty years for the man she loves to finally put a ring on her finger, but then Dee is no ordinary girl. She's so lovely, kind and considerate and well... she'd have to be to wait that long, aye Simon ;-) 

A warm summer's day brought about the wedding of Dee's dreams, after all she's had a long time to envision how this would all play out. "Are the petals out?" she asked, "The globes above the main table?"... this was going to be beautiful!! Simon just went along with it for Dee I suspect. He's the practical, no fuss farmer type who didn't see why the ceremony should be any longer than ten minutes; I mean how many things are there that one actually has to do, in order to be legally married?  Click to view full blog post

This is part one, the beforehand, of a stunning summery day for Jesse and Rebekah. A day that started with hair, makeup, nail polish and flowers... and the reading of the book Slinky Malinki... didn't see that coming did you ;-) Click to view full blog post
