"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015."

Harrison: Kitted out in your new Black Caps gear and using your new tools that you got for Christmas.
Amelie: Absolutley loving the new trampoline all of the kids got for Christmas!
Finley: Pretty stoked with his ride on digger!

Well that's another 52 weeks done! I love documenting the kids week by week and seeing how they change over that time.  A great way for me to capture lots of special memories along the way.
I'll be back for 2016! See you next year!  Wishing you a Happy New Year! Nat x

Playing catch up

Returning home!

It's been a crazy few months with our move back to New Zealand so I'm super behind on my '52 Project'.  Trying to get it all caught up and ready to start the project again in 2016!
We're settling back into life here in NZ with the kids starting a new school, giving our house a bit of a re-vamp and catching up with family and friends.
Summer has arrived so it's feeling more 'Sydney' like with the temperatures! We certainly found it cold when we first moved back.
We're loving being back amongst our support network again and the kids are loving hanging out with our family on a regular basis.  We do miss our 'Australian' family very much as well.  Hoping for lots of visitors!
Looking forward to 2016 and what adventures it will bring our family.
