I love the colours in this photo of my son playing with his friends. I'm trying to make the most of these last months with my son before my second baby arrives. I am 35 weeks pregnant now.

Winter at our house
We have gotten over our winter colds and have a bit more to organise before the new baby arrives.
My thrifted pinch teapot and African violets.

Inspiration for a picnic wedding
My sister is getting married in August and the wedding planning is ramping up. Here are some inspiration photos we have collected of similar wedding ideas. The colours will be white and red with a bit of pink thrown in.

Second Pregnancy - 19 week ultrasound
I had the 19 week ultrasound a few weeks ago and I have finally got around to scanning the pictures! As far as they could tell everything is going well! Next week the new babies room should be all finished and we can move my son in there and start on decorating his bedroom. I have been feeling a bit crummy of late, hubby has been away for work this week and his work has been pretty crazy lately. And we've all been sick with the first round of winter colds going around.
Autumn Garden
In summer it is a bit hot to hang out in our backyard too much but lately it has been cooler and lovely out there. We have got Ethan some more outdoor toys so he is loving it out the back too. Now we are looking for a little cubby house to put out there.Our chillies have been turning red too, these ones are really spicy hot.
Our news!
We are very excited that we have another baby on the way! It is due in mid September. I haven't been too unwell morning sickness but I have a bad back already. It doesn't help that I have my little poppet to pick up and cuddle, put in the car, take out of the car and whisk out of mischief!
We have also been in a big rush to try and get our home the way we want it before the second baby arrives. That way we can focus on enjoying being a family... At the moment the room is submarine grey so we want to change that. We have been doing lots of weed removal in the garden and painting inside among other things. I purchased some vegetable seeds yesterday and we have a new compost bin. The plan is to make a start on a vegetable garden...
Picnic at the beach
On the weekend we visited a friend who lives near the beach, we had a picnic in a little cove. I just love finding fun things in nature like these red and black
There were also lots of little schools of fish, if you were fast enough you could catch them with your cupped hands.
In the garden
These native violets I planted in the front yard when we moved in, they are flowering like crazy now. I'm hoping that soon we will have carpets of these between the other plants. I think I will move the ones in the pot to the back garden and plant my strawberries in the pot. These plants love a bit of precipitation, they go a bit nuts after the rain, but they also do ok when it is dry. I love them.
Quiet week
With the change in weather now that Autumn has arrived, the little one and I have been sick this week. So this photo makes me remember this week with E, cosy indoors with the occasional venture outside.
