good friday

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

this boy . . .

turned 4 on Monday.

Nate is my favourite and my best little man.
He is caring and kind.
Both brave and fearful.
Smoochie and snuggly.
Bright and curious.
Cheeky and a chatterbox.
Hilarious.

He truly makes my heart sing.

Happy Birthday Nate the Great!

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013"

Amelie :: working on her hipster style and requesting bandanas in her hair.

Nate :: 4th birthday party ended with no shirt and the addition of a hat. Hmm . . .

spots and stripes

Nate requested a 'spots and stripes' theme for his 4th birthday party.
Or a "potty and tripey party" in Nate speak - the letter 's' is a bit of a challenge!

We had a lovely afternoon at home with his cousins, grandparents and favourite friends.
An interesting visit from 'James the Great' magician.
Nate, Oliver, Charlie, Jet and Harper were intrigued, Amelie and Malya not so convinced!
Lots of laughter and fun.

Jelly slice, cupcakes, chocolate truffles, popcorn and a stripey cake.
Balloon sculpting, magic tricks and silly faces.
Happy times.

"It's not my real birthday party" was said several times today as Nate attempted to understand why he was still three at his 4th birthday party! I'm not sure if he quite gets it but he seems happy with the thought of two birthdays. At bedtime as we snuggled I asked him what his favourite part of the day was and he answered "my favourite bit was when all my friends came". Perfect.

wordless wednesday

a beautiful morning

with beautiful company

in a beautiful space.

show & share

Yesterday was Nate's turn for Show and Share at his weekly 3 year old kinder session.

When I asked him what he would like to share with his teachers and kinder friends he replied "A picture of baby Lucy (his newest cousin) and a picture of my girlfriend Harper".

Nate, the ultimate ladies man.

All set for kinder with his back pack and show and share box. bless.
