ben+katie+(baby)

with less than two weeks to go before the bump becomes a baby, i decided i better post some pictures of my sister and her husband! on the way back from the raspberry farm, we stopped by a little old church. it was surrounded by tall grass (which i tripped over, no less) and was a rather quaint setting for a pre-baby shoot.

the mountain that you can see in the distance in a few of the shots is the place where ben proposed to katie. isn't that sweet?

reach up to the sky

happy new year! i've had a relaxing break and i am back for a new year :)

did you make any new year resolutions? in a bid to save my pennies for my european adventures, i've decided to go a whole year without buying new clothes - emphasis on the new - op shop finds are acceptable!

this picture is from my tasmanian adventures, and i think it is my favourite. a good way to start the new year :)

eva + harper

eva and harper are two of katie and ben's *little* next door neighbors. aren't they cute?

i'll be holidaying until the new year, so as far as blogging goes this is it for 2009. thank you to everyone who takes a little time to have a look and leave a comment - i am very appreciative of any feedback. your support makes it all worthwhile! (okay, sounding a bit bloggy now lol).

enjoy the holiday season, and may God bless you. I will see you in 2010!

raspberries please!

we celebrated ben's birthday at the raspberry farm in christmas hill. we had a lovely lunch followed by even lovelier desserts. the farm makes the BEST jam, and i couldn't leave without buying some to take back home (nevermind that it weighs a tonne hehe). the sun was shining, the bumblebees were out and all in all it was a beautiful day!

hobart

hobart is a pretty city. we had a very fine breakfast by the harbour, found some cute shops to spend too much time in, and also climbed mount wellington (in the car! however, there was a crazy cyclist climbing it on his bike!) what's more, we even found some sunshine :)

katie's birthday

happy birthday! here are some photographs from katie's birthday :) we spent all saturday baking and mixing (and tasting!) for the party on sunday morning. we even made some bunting out of katie's cute fabric (the non-edible kind ben).

despite the fresh gusty wind, it was a very enjoyable day, and it was go nice to be there for my sister's birthday - and to hand over all the presents from w.a!

happy birthday katie!

bridgenorth

bridgenorth is the cute and country like place where i stayed. whilst in tasmania. jules let me borrow his canon film slr (yay more film!) so i could let loose on the paddocks, cows, grass, fences, horses and abundance of other green things.

i love this little place :)

the wanderer

i have returned! and oh my, do i have a lot to show you! i had a very very pleasant time in tasmania, with a stomach full of raspberries and cake, cameras full of photographs, eyes full of scenic treasures and a heart that is bordering on mushy! thank you to my sister katie (and her husband ben) for making it the best time ever - i miss you!

over the next couple weeks ye olde blog will be inundated with images of every kind. from baby showers to bumps to cupcakes to horses to grassy meadows and beyond. please come along for the ride!

to start off, here are some holga pictorials - enjoy :)
