Mini photoshoot with Theresa and Alyssa
Today I got to have my very first newborn photoshoot - something I've wanted to do for a while. I'd like to thank Theresa for letting me use Alyssa as a guinea pig as she knew there was no guarantee that the shoot would yield any decent photos ;o). I'm posting some of my favourites below and you can let me know what you think.

Today
Today, in Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbookers class, she talks about how writing about everyday things on your blog is ok. Thank goodness for that, as that's all I tend to do anyway ;o) So, let's talk about today!
First up was coffee at Nero's with the Thursday morning coffee ladies. We don't meet every Thursday, but try to get together once a fortnight. Leaving home with the ironing done; the diswasher unpacked; dirty dishes loaded and the house fairly tidy, makes the coffee taste even better! A quick stop at the fruit and veg stall, in the walkway back to the carpark, and then on to visit my SIL with a project to show her.
Now having finished doing a quick hoover, to pick up the shards from the glass that was knocked over as DH got ready to go out this evening, and having completed this blog post, I am ready to sit down with said cup of tea and put my feet up for a while. I think the next batch of fabric cutting might just have to wait until tomorrow.
Have a good evening.

My afternoon was spent working on some sewing projects and reading a few blogs. Claire had the day off and decided to make some Choc Chip Cookies. Fortunately, this time, she did make the effort to tidy up most of the mess in the kitchen afterwards :o). The cookies are always delicious and will be enjoyed with my evening cup of Rooibos/Redbush tea. Thanks Claire.

Helping out
Today I spent time with Theresa and the children while she continues to recover from her infection. I spent a lot of time with Tyler and had forgotten how much 2 year olds like your attention ;o). He was really good and was even happy to come to the park with me. The little park is only a short walk from Will and Theresa's house, so we wrapped up and set off. I'd been told about how much Tyler loves going on the Fireman's Pole and he was happy to show me.
He's really confident, holds on and swings over to the pole, then slides down. I'm sure my children were older before they attempted this.
Back for more!
Tyler had taken his spade with him and spent ages playing his own games; digging up the bark and piling it on things before wiping it back to the ground again.
There were also a few good puddles for him to jump in :o) and it wasn't long before his trousers were soaked.
The rubbish truck also had a turn going through the puddles
And sticks always come in handy for stirring!
Tyler and Minnie
Finally, a photo of Alyssa. She is a little star; is feeding well and sleeps in her carrycot for decent periods at a time. Long may it last :o) (I love the way she lies with her little hands up near her face).

When we got back to the house, the midwife was with Theresa and weighing Alyssa. Minnie (the kitten) was shut in the kitchen for the duration but was happy to come out again once the midwife had left.
