Still at ‘the farm’. One of my favourite places to be, and now one of the kids. They were not happy about leaving

This wee little man was actually 4 weeks early. He decided that Christmas 2010 was not to be missed! While the clouds changed from thin to heavy, this little guy slept on. He was so peaceful. Poor Mum & Dad have to actually wake him to feed.. I wish I knew what he was dreaming to be so sleepy, and when he gave a little smile, I know they must be amazing dreams!
Stay tuned for Part II!
A few days before Christmas, we were busy with festive activities and so I decided to try a little Christmassy set-up with Emerson. We live in a country where it’s not cold for summer, it’s [usually] hot, although most of the imagery associated with Christmas involves snow. SO. I decided to create some. (Thanks to a can!!)
It was pretty amusing as my boys have never actually seen snow in ‘real life’, however something we hope to change next year.
So below is the official image in thePROJECT’s series, and a few ‘outtakes’ as they are just too cute!

We love star wars. Today the boys got a christmas present early from our gorgeous neighbours… (AKA Ash’s girlfriend). And Light Saber’s are the only “weapons” allowed in our house. It seems these days no matter what hero’s our children like, there is some form of violence. We cannot hide from it. It’s dragon fighting, martial art panda’s, super-hero families. But I guess the reason that Star Wars weapons are ok in my eyes, there are not that many “jedi knights’ out there, at least, that we know of
I’m sure my 2 have a good chance… here we have Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader.

Finally, someone was still!
9 times out of 10, I get compliments on how gorgeous my “daughter” is. For some reason it’s really easy to look at his hair and assume that “he’s” a girl. The clothes and boyish shoes don’t give it away… So some people wonder why I don’t cut his hair so he’s more “boylike”. Well. Would you cut off these gorgeous curls!? Because I sure can’t!

When Ash was born, I did a small project of photographing him on an ‘Ashton’ guitar amp every month for the first year. I then planned to continue this every year on his birthday. Unfortunately, the day I did his 2nd birthday images, my old personal use only memory card corrupted. I lost everything from his first birthday. The amp was also being borrowed by someone so on the 18th December, I finally got a chance to do his 2-year-old image. Well we weren’t overly keen on being up there. So to help the process, we got a balloon that we had for a BBQ birthday we were holding that evening. It worked. This was an image that I took for THIS project, as it just shows perfectly the wonder children have with balloons. . .

Busy week. Friday saw the daycare family Christmas party! Found this little chair where both the boys sat down and I asked Eman to give Ash a kiss. Ash also kissed the camera!

Kinder graduation #2, from long day care which he attended once a week. They made these cute hats and he was very excited!

Trying to photograph the details of one’s gorgeous curls is not easy. Especially outside.

Kinder Graduation #1. Seabrook Kindergarten. While other children sang and danced the organised actions, Eman plays air guitar and at the end of each number, gives up the “rock on” sign. Yep, I think I have two rockstars on my hands
