High School Eve........

Well today has been a very lazy day, scrapbooking and preparing for tomorrow...HIGHSCHOOL! (insert Jaws music) Tatum is getting a bit nervous, but I am sure she will be fine as soon as she gets there. I am sure she will have a little cry!

Tatum had her BFF over last night for a sleepover and we took some pics of course...dont know what the evil clown getup is about!






Oh! I have to include this photo of Tatum stressing/showing her first pimple off to Miranda...she has been beside herself having it for her first day...now if that was MY only worry I would be a very happy lady!


Back tomorrow with the run down on highschool.

Australia Day Weekend

We went up to Dad and Lea's for the weekend, so relaxing! We went to dinner in Echuca Friday night and out to the lake for the day on Sunday, then home Monday! Have to get Tatums books today...highschool is NEARLY here, scary stuff!



We have booked a holiday and a cruise for the end of the year, so excited. Tom, Tatum and I along with Dad, Lea, the three boys, and Jacks girlfriend Mikayla (and I think her parents too!) are heading up to the Gold Coast for 4 days to do the water park, Seaworld thing...then we are all getting on the cruise ship at Brisbane and coming home. Eight days of bliss. Tom and I have not had a holiday since our honeymoon, and sadly we have never taken Tate on a real holiday ever, so it is something to really look forward to. Tatum is super doopa excited!

Two weeks ago I also started on the fitness loose weight kick. I am walking three times a week with my cousin Jade, this will increase. We start running next week (I am sure I will die!). Have lost over 2 kgs so far, weigh in is today so that should be more hopefully. I just got to the rockbottom stage, I had truly had ENOUGH! Besides, I have to be hotstuff for the cruise.

Hope everone had a great long weekend.

Birthday dinner......

On the 9th Tom organised dinner with Jade, Sarah, Shell, Dad and Leanne at a mexican restaurant in Geelong. The food was awful but the company was great. Dad, Lea, and Shell stayed the night and Lea and I went to the scrapbook shop the next morning. So fantastic to have Dad, Lea and the boys back in my life, I can not put into words how happy I am at the moment...I can do anything. This is my year I know it. My real estate photography career is also in the works and looking good too, so very excited at the moment.

Tom and I (care of Michelle K Photography...lol

Dad, Lea and two boys.....

On Monday my Dad, stepmother and two brothers came to stay for two nights. It was really great fun, and a fantastic christmas present. I feel like everything has come full circle for me, and I couldn't be happier having them back in our life. What was missing has now be found so to speak. We went shopping in Torquay, played beach cricket, had a BBQ, ordered pizza, got drunk (Dad actually drank beer!), took photos, talked, laughed and generally had a fantastic time.
