what i wore sunday 1

welcome to wiws - what i wore sunday!

i sometimes read a blog called the pleated poppy and lindsey (who writes the blog) has a post each week that she calls wiww (what i wore wednesday) - encouraging herself to be creative with what she wears (or sometimes just to get out of trackies!! haha) and show it off to fellow bloggers. well... my sunday outfits are always much more interesting than my wednesday outfits - i'll be honest - i do like to use sunday to wear something nice - sometimes something new... and it's good fun. so i'll be sharing sunday outfits - starting with yesterdays.

in kalgoorlie for church - with rob and bianca...

dress (with belt) - valleygirl (on sale 2 weeks ago for just $12.95!!)

cardi - valleygirl (way old - but still good)

undertee - downeastbasics.com

pearl shell earrings - stolen from mum :)

bracelet - pandora.net

birds nest ring (unfortunately got cut out of the picture) diva

shoes - invu (steal from the local st vinnies!)

stay tuned - i may or may not continue this... but hey - it was fun! ♥

first swim

on saturday madeline had her first swim - in kalgoorlie at uncle jared and aunty donna's house with her cousins. she was so adorable... and loved the water! she was kicking away and smiling at us both as we bobbed her around in the water. ben and jared insisted that she had to have a turn in emma's "boat" as well which was so so funny. such a sweet little girl.

getting used to the water... it was lovely - not too cold!

frog kick!!

road tripppppppp!!

doug, maddie and i set off yesterday for our first long road trip since miss madeline was born. off to kal! 6 hours... poor maddie. after breakfast at mum and dad's (where maddie took great care to point out that the milk was not right...) we set off and started the drive

at our stop in merredin maddie decided she was going to have a drive...

beep beeeeeeep - get outta my way!!

 

and apparently wasn't too interested in what i was offering for lunch - and decided to eat her toes instead. mmmmmm. i love jam. toe jam. tasty.

the road to kal is long. very long. and at some points - you can see the road ahead for ages and ages. it's like it will never end. but eventually you make it. we arrived safe and sound and surprised the heck out of jared and donna before moving to rob and biancas to stay. stay tuned for more adventures! ♥

sooooooooo hot

perth is set for our hottest summer in 47 years, according to the west australian online... my iphone weather app shows this for the next 5 days and all i can say is - ugh. oh my gosh... i don't think my fair skin is cut out for this weather - it just makes me sick, and poor maddie, born in the middle of winter... she's not liking it at all!

this right here is what i am dreaming of...

cold. winter. maybe even snow.

the snow is never going to happen here in perth -

but maybe i can go find some one day!

hilarious!!

just when i thought she couldn't get any cuter... check this video out!

oh my gosh - funniest laugh ever!

special thanks to brandon and lisa for making her laugh so hard! :)

it explains it all!

sometimes i sit back and wonder how on earth i ever got married... i think this just about sums it up. cause think about it... in all honesty - we're all a little wierd.

i'm madeline, i'm madeline!!

this week maddie and i had our passport photos done, we are off to nz in april to meet the rest of doug's family and we clearly won't be leaving the country without them...

we were paying on our way out of the pharmacy - and the young female assistant in there was clearly besotted with our baby girl and kept smiling at her, as maddie smiled sweetly back. "oooohhh," she said, "she looks so much like madeline!" i laughed and told her that madeline is actually her name. she was so excited and as we left, i heard her telling everyone that worked there. something small but very sweet - i've never had someone guess her name before! but it is definitely a nice thing to know that she looks like her name. :)
