zeke's first trip to the snow........

how was your weekend????
what did you get up too?????
we went on a road trip with the popps {popplewell family} to lake mountain, we had so much fun
zeke hasn't been to the snow yet so we snuck a quick trip in...........there wasn't much snow
but for the kids FUN!!!!! and for me {sssshhhhhhhhh hehe}
we went tobogganing, went for a walk to find some real snow {not man made} the walk was
so much fun / kids were going on an adventure whoop whoop, we made a snow man and
threw snow balls at each other, mark popps whipped up some hot moroccon soup in the car
park..........funnest day in a long time
driving through all the beautiful trees and all the green ferns, was seriously like we were
driving through nz, so green and lush.....
then we came to marysville, it was emotional and yup i had a few tears, the trees went from lush to
all burnt from the devastating fires, seeing new houses built......
we saw it on tv it was in the news etc but seeing it with your own eyes, my heart ached for
the families / community involved in the devastation....
here are some more photos of our road trip to the snow

if anyone reading this lives in melbourne how beautiful was the weather today???
b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l...........
have a wonderful week

my new/old couch

ok here is my new/old couch i'm in love with it.......
i saw it in the opp shop window and could not get it out of my head all day, i popped back in the
arvo and so many people were looking at it, my heart was racing i didn't want to lose it
i asked if they would discount it for me, and they did i was so excited i wanted to take it home
then and there but had to wait till the next day........
of course i couldn't get it out of my head, and we don't really have the room, so i've reshuffled a few
things and have put the two chairs that came with this wonderful couch on ebay {i'd love to keep them too but we really don't have the room, i was pushing it with the couch......
it was one of those things i would of regretted if i didn't get it {merry christmas to me hehehe}
i just love the fabric its velvety and underneath it has a beautiful blue linen, the cushions off the couch are made from feathers and it sits on wheels, they just don't really make them like this anymore, the workmanship that has gone into this couch is just amazing......
i've discribed it to a few friends and to be honest doesn't sound amazing but when i see/look at it i swoon.......
i just need a little rug underneath it now.......
i know it won't be for everyone but what do you think???????
have a wonderful week

what an experience.........

i'm back from nz and would you believe i made it to the birth.............while on the plane over my sister went into the hospital and i was hoping to make it, my hands were shaking checking in and while on the plane i was just buzzing......once in nz i went to bed at 11.00pm and got the call at 2.30am to make my way to the hospital......so i was there for the birth.....

i feel so privileged and honoured and to be perfectly honest it was one of the most amazing days of my life, being there for and with my sister and jayden and seeing this little miracle being born, it is totally amazing having a child but this was so so different and hard to explain..

its been over a week and i still feel like i'm on a high, they have 3 little girls darcee, leila and brooklyn and to add to the family a little boy called judah, my eyes still tear up when i think about that very special day, she did so well and jayden was amazing and their midwife shirley has been there for the birth of all four {thats pretty special}......the 3 girls were adorable as ever, i love all their different personalities and their thirst for life, i miss them all already

it's great being back with my boys but wow what a trip.......

i hope you all have had a great few weeks and here are a few extra photos of the day
and their cute complete family

the whole taylor family........too cool

have a wonderful monday and see you here wed for my madeit find
