We’ve had our family holiday planned for some time now. We’ve taken the family down to Hanmer Springs this week, and then on to Christchurch for the weekend. The first day was great fun, becoming prunes in the hotpools and seeing what was around the place. …
I know I have been promising these photos for a while, well here they finally are! Unfortunately they’ve been right down the priority list, but I’ve scrounged some time tonight to pull these out and blog them. Things have been so busy here in the Jones household, which is good, but it does mean that some things just get left at the bottom of the pile. …
I grabbed this shot today while we were at the park for the party, you just got to love reflections, don’t you?
This was my daughter’s piano recital tonight, not so many kids turned up this month. I’m not surprised, because it is dark and freeeezing outside!…
It was my little man’s 7th birthday today. All my children are precious to me, but when Sammy has a birthday I have to shed a little tear. Y’see he was born with a congential heart defect, Transposition of the Great Arteries, and had to have open heart surgery at 7 days old and spend a month in hospital. …
I had the most delicious Mother’s Day yesterday. We took the kids to the park, had a nice play in the Autumn leaves and got some fantastic pictures. Now, if you know me, I despise having my photo taken, it makes me break out into a sweat and pull this funny weirdo face. …
Ok, thanks for the condolence letters streaming in but you can all stop panicking now – I have found my keys. They were in the garage door…. sigh. The good news is that no one stole our lawnmower, or maybe they did, and tried to start it, failed, and quickly returned it. …
I’ve lost my keys, and it’s reeeeeeally annoying. I has to be somewhere in the house, it’s probably hiding with the ‘Wiggles’ dvd which has also disappeared. I’ve told the kids they’ll get a chocolate if they find it, but even frantic searching has produced no Wiggles and no keys. …
So we have this friendly rivalry going on, Paul and I. In some ways it’s fun, and keep us on our toes, but in another way it keeps us up late at night editing and reediting a photo, just to be sure that our version is the best! …
“When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we’d all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn’t until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.”…
Somebody told me it was frightening how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared”
