All of last week, Lachlan was on school camp in Canberra. I will admit to being a little concerned with him travelling such a long distance on a bus, but he was so excited. There was one major advantage to him being on camp.... no fighting in the house. It was so incredibly quiet all week! But then Friday came along and it took all of 5 minutes and the fighting errupted! In an instant I went from being oh so glad he was home to wondering how it was possible for peace and quiet to be shattered in such a short time frame!
Now that the house was full of all its residents, I decided it was time to take a couple more pictures of the kids together! Unfortunately the youngest member of the household was not overly co-operative. Actually lets just say that the 3 younger members all had there tantrum moments just to make life more complicated!! But I at least have a reasonable photo of all of them together now!
Now when I see them all grouped together like this I realise I really do have a bit of a tribe happening these days!
Then little miss had to get in on the action all by herself! Or maybe it is just me that can not resist capturing pictures of her!
I just adore this pic of little miss innocent!!
So I took a few pics of Miss K, I just couldnt help myself.
The little mischief makers! They pretend they are sweet and innocent but I know better!! Then it was time for the oldest and the youngest to get photographed together.
How little is Ashton! He is definately getting bigger though. His little belly is getting quite pudgy now and even his arms and legs are getting a little bit of fat on them! My cow like capabilities are paying off!!
And then I see him here, perched on Pauls hand, and suddenly he looks so very very tiny!! Or Pauls hand is just very very big! LOL!! So this is this weeks update on little mister Ashton who is now 3 weeks old! My goodness time slips by so very very fast. Part of me feels so sad that this newborn stage will slip past before I am ready to let it go, but part of me will enjoy getting more sleep at the same time.
On the scrapping front, I have almost done a layout this week! Well it is designed and sitting on my table, waiting for me to get some time to stick it all down! I have been printing off so many photos lately, I just wish I had a little more time for myself to be able to scrap them. I did however scrap this one on my indulgent weekend prior to having Ashton!
As can be seen lots and lots of prima flowers on this one! I think I have flower issues and guess what.... I dont care!! LOL!! I have even done a double LO for Prima with pics of Ashton and I have used flowers on that as well. He is a baby and that makes it fine in my opinion! LOL!! But dont worry, I am not planning on using pink in his ablum! I cant go quite that far! Once again, TFL!!
Very cute pics of all of them.And missy is a showoff too so cute.Love the pic of Ashton and Lachlan together.Take care Kerry xx

Had a fantastic day with you, Miss K and little Ashton.
Enjoyed the layout share, girl talk and soggy chips.
Hope you get some sleep. You really need it you poor chicky.

Love your photos - especially the innocent one - I am loving the strong colour in them - think those studio lights have definately paid off - sigh...you sure are busy with your design spots - good on you - I love the newborn stage too but do look forward to the sleep - Jacob was 1 last mnth and is just now only waking 1 or 2x so its been a long road for me - you make motherhood look a joy though which is terrific

Love the colours in the LO - I have the mulberry stitched paper too - yours looks more vibrant
