Sisters : January
I’m going to make sure I post a picture of the girls together once a month to try to get a sense of their growing relationship. With Marlowe now on the move its certainly shifting more towards playing with each other, she wants to be anywhere that Roxy is and play with everything Roxy is playing with, not always to Roxy’s enjoyment! Roxy regularly walks into me with armful of toys she doesn’t want Marlowe to get a hold of and the pitter patter of Marlowe crawling behind is never far away.
Sisters who swing together…….

Hello 2016
Well its over 3 weeks into 2016 already, I hope it’s not a sign of the speed of the year to come! Its been a little strange not doing The 52 Week Project posts, I’m still not sure what will be best to do to make sure I keep up the regular photos! I think I’ll do monthly posts of a photo of the girls together and will see what takes my fancy or what inspires me beyond that!
2016 has brought so far a crawling baby, more winter colds and flu, a husband away for 8 days and a new camera. Its been busy but more the staying at home kind of busy!
Im super keen to get more use of my new camera, I love it already and have only had it a week, as the year went on I was getting less and less happy with the quality I was getting from my photos so I’m hoping for more sharpness, especially at lower lights as I take a lot of my photos indoors and lets face it there isn’t a lot of great natural light over here at the moment!
So like my 2015 weekly posts here are a couple of photos of the girls.
Sisters- wherever Roxy goes Marlowe is close behind. She adores her big sister. Roxy is getting ready to open the cafe.

Roxy – Still totally in love with dressing up, this was her serving at Roxy Rapunzels Cafe, I think I got served a carrot a tomato and a sparkling water, can’t say its the most inspiring menu I’ve ever encountered but the exceptional service will ensure my return!

Marlowe- there is nothing stopping her now. My baby doesn’t feel like such a baby anymore, from crawling to climbing she is learning new tricks every day.

Roxy – easy post christmas mornings, staying in our pjs, drinking coffees and reading books
Roxy amazes me at how many animals she knows and she learns so fast. Her ability to retain information is incredible.
She slept with her plaits in last night to make sure her hair was ‘nice and beautiful and wavy’
Marlowe – another book worm
We have been in quarantine this week (again), Marlowe has had Hand, Foot and Mouth, not the way her first christmas was planned but she was still happy and amazed by all the toys and attention.

Roxy – my little independent baker
making cookies for christmas for all her nursery teachers
she loves learning about the ingredients and telling everyone whats in them, but her favourite bit is of course licking the beaters!
Marlowe – her sick little eyes
both girls have had severe tonsillitis this week so we have been a bit of a sad household, thankfully we are on the mend now. Hoping for a germ free few months now cause we have had our fair share of them lately!
It is also not lost on me that Marlowe is wearing these bonds zippies in a lot of the weekly photos! They are so good though and if we aren’t leaving the house she is so much more comfortable in her pjs all day…… aren’t we all!

Roxy and Marlowe – sisters, i love how I’ve managed to scatter a few joint photos of the girls throughout the year, they really do have a beautiful relationship developing .
Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas
We are a very excited household for christmas this year, its Roxy’s first year of really understanding and being super excited and its obviously Marlowe’s first one. We don’t have the typical christmas filled with loads of family but we have lots of wonderful friends and a handful of family over here which is enough for us.
We won’t know what has hit us when we do eventually move home and have a big Australian christmas. Ill miss the cold and cosy nights around the tree.
and wow there are only 3 posts left for the year!

our aloe really has gone wild
