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

Ryder: You wouldn't know from looking at this photo, but he's currently got a middle ear infection and a swollen, red throat. Ugh....the winter bugs have already crept in. But in true Ryder style, he's all smiles and cheek. Loving a moment, all of his own, at the park. Top of the slide - King of the Castle.  

Ella: My little fairy in the garden. Exploring the park. Busy in her own little land of play. 

Joining in with Jodi.

Hope you're all having a fab weekend.

My new blog URL is up and working. This week I will do an official switch over to it. I hope to see you there!!!!! www.claireeverafter.com

Stay tuned....

Stills. The Melbourne Edition.

1. Two glasses of Chandon, all foggy and sweet.

3. A real Autumn-covered ground.

4. Chris about to devour his entree' at dinner, Friday night.

5. Saturday's Breakfast menu.

6. A gorgeous, glary City view.

7. Side street fruit vendor.

Linking up with Em today.

Ryder: Not a fan of being confined to the straps of the carseat. Sometimes it's a battle to get him in the car. Until I distract him by telling him we're going to drive past trucks and motorbikes and birds. Then he's happily chatting and pointing out the window! 

Ella: Strapped in, ready to go. Excited and eager for me to put the camera down and start driving - we were party bound for a special little school friend.

Joining in with Jodi.

Hope you're all having a fab weekend.

I'm sorting out some domain issues and then the new blog name/url will go live. Stay tuned....

I loved Meagan's photos last week - so wintery and calm. And Belinda's photos always make me smile.

Stills.

1. Garden exploring - he's always on the move.

2. Evidence of Autumn and an impending Winter.

3. The view from our back doors as the sun starts it's afternoon decent - and a little adventurer wanting to climb up for a better view.

4. A lone feather resting on the patio tile.

5. Burnt wrists, mending slowly, after a run-in with some freshly made soup and the blender!

6. Our Love birdy.

7. A gorgeous array of goodies sent from friends on my return from hospital.

8. Ella: "I can balance Mummy. Watch me!" - more garden exploring.

Ryder: Give him space, fresh air and a swing set and he's one happy boy. 

Ella: Up on stage, performing her little heart out in a local Arts Festival. Super proud Mummy moment.

This week, I did something for the '52 A Portrait A Week' project that I said I wouldn't do  - I've used iPhone / Instagram photos instead of 'better' quality shots from my DSLR. But, it's been a week that required my attention and focus in other areas, and my camera hardly got used. However, my iPhone is always on hand and had these great captures of my 2 little Loves.

Hope you all had a fab weekend.

Ryder: Insisting of wearing his sister's shoes around the house, even though they're too big {and pink}. Sporting yet another little bruise to the forehead from one of his recent stumbles and his ever-cheeky smile.

Ella: The winter pj's have come out - all snugged up one coolish morning - with her toy cat in hand, of course.

Joining in with Jodi.

 Hope you all had a fab weekend.

P.S. Sorry if my photo quality looks a little crapola this week - I did something to the file size when uploading them and my kid's faces have become a little blury. Will try and fix later :)
