Uncle Shaun and Caprice

Isn't this a lovely photo of Shaun and Caprice? They just love being together and getting up to mischief.
It makes you wonder sometimes who is the child and who is the adult but they have a lot of fun.

Talk about fun, nothing like seeing the world pass by when you are upside down.

I did say they have a lot of fun, never a dull moment.

Healing Hearts

I belong to a lovely group of ladies that you can find here C-R-A-F-T

They make lovely healing hearts quilts when members or others are having

a bad time with life in general.

These were my donations, i thought they looked pretty.

Softies Drive

Not so long ago Lucky had a softies drive for Qld for the littlies that had been affected by the floods.

This was my donation, just a liitle something to give them some comfort.

I loved making them in a lovely soft fabric and hope they were well received

Ballerina Girl

Caprice has decided she wants to be a Ballerina, won't she be the cutest Ballerina you have ever seen?
Each week after her lesson she comes over to Nana's place to show me what she has learnt.
Even though she is just two and a half she has learnt a lot plus the important part is that she is enjoying it.

Handsome Boy

What a fat and happy boy Jett is, can you tell he loves his food... he is well covered that's for sure.
He is now 6 months old and as he has gotten older his hair has become some what lighter than it originally was when he was born. He is a handsome little boy.

Big and Little Boys

This is so cute, Daddy giving his liitle boy a ride on his houlders. The way Jett is growing it won't happen for too much longer.

My Grands

I just love my grandchildren with all of my heart and i am sure you can see why. They are so loving and affectionate and bring so much joy to my life. Just love them to bits

Caprice's Quilt

This quilt i have to admit has taken me awhile to finish. I have been working on it in between my normal working job and commitments. It turned out well and even though it will be a bit too hot to use now when Winter comes Caprice will be able to cuddle up in it. Caprice has a love for Owls and i have to admit they do grow on you.

Jett's Quilt

I am not the best of quilt makers or even the quickest but i am happy with how this quilt for Jett turned out.
I like the blues and greens and even though Jett couldn't tell me he liked it his little eyes were fixed on the bright colours.

Our Christmas 2010

This was our Christmas which we spent at Justin and Julia's with our family and of course the two gorgeous grandchildren. Caprice had a fun day and was such a good girl, understood a bit of the concept of Christmas but more the fact that if she was a good girl she got some presents.

Jett of course knew very little except there was a lot of people there and in true boy style was happy to eat and sleep.

This was taken from the other end of the table. It was a warm day outside but on the verandah it was ok.

Justin even put on the fans for those of us { me] that do not do well in the heat.

We had a lovely lunch with lots of yummy food.

My beautiful granddaughter in her "Christmas Angel" shirt.

What can i say, she is a sweet girl with an angels face.

Here is Jett wondering what on earth is going on.

Lots of people and lots of food.

Not sure about the frown.

We gave Caprice a new " Mammy Doll" and she loved it.

Now she has two who will get lots of cuddles and play time

This was the beginning of the day.

Shaun got a bean bag and of course it had to be filled with beans.

The question being how many men does it take to fill it??

Well it took the two of them and me to pick up all of the beans that they didn't get in.

I must say there were a few that missed and they manage to get everywhere.

Surprise Flowers

Last week i had to spend a day in hospital, nothing too bad just a minor operation and a bit inconvenient to say the least.
My very thoughtful son Shaun sent me some flowers which arrived just as i came home from hospital.
What beautiful tones of pink they are, i am so thankful to have such a lovely caring son.
Thank you Shaun.

Jett's Christening

Nana had to adjust the ribbons on the gown just so it looked perfect, not sure if Jett was too fussed or just wanted to have his photo taken.

Jett being given the sign of the cross by the priest and being well looked after by his doting Mother

The very proud parents and Jett sleeping through it all, far too much for a little baby.

After the ceremony and with the proud godfathers, not sure where the two godmothers were at this stage

Jett's Christening

 This is a Christening Gown that i crocheted over 38 years ago for my lovely nephew for his Christening. Over the years it has been passed down the line to all of the nieces and nephews to wear on their special day. At the time i had no idea that it would become such a relic in the family.
It has kept well over the years and i think at this stage Jett will be the last one to wear it unless there are any surprises in the family which of course would be welcomed with open arms

What a beautiful cake this was, very unique i would say and delicious. Unfortunately in true style Jett slept through the cutting of it but when he is old enough we will tell him all about it.

We recently took Caprice with us to visit her Uncle Shaun, whom she adores. After they had played hide and seek on his new bed Caprice decided it was time to do some reading, no ordinary reading for this two and a half year old but more a business book, look at the concentration on her face.Talk about a clever little girl. I do think i should have given her hair a bit of a brush though.
