Easter Weekend


went down to Henley on Saturday. Had a birthday dessert time to celebrate Granny's birthday & to get some family pictures. They were taken @ night time so am interested to see what they look like when printed. So not up on editing my pics after they've been taken - need to work on my ability to eliminate red eye & lighting - when printed ones I've worked on look 'fake' to me!

Loved seeing the children playing ball on the lawn (that Pa had to mow on Granny's insistence). Guess I should take them & a ball down the drive more often for some big open playing spaces.

Couldn't believe how they became soo attached to the television @ the farm since we've removed it from our living room! Makes me pleased I've done this. Posted by Picasa

Hey but look what they are watching - isn't that Pooh & Tigger?
We've just had our 2 at their grandparents with empty sections around - open spaces! They are not used to it!

The kids looked like they were having heaps of fun, what a great day. Good on you for removing the TV, if I did that I don't think I would ever hear the end of it from my kids...lol, the good thing about Josh going to Kindy full-time is he doesn't get to see TV much these days which is a good thing and Jo limits Emily's time so the kids a getting into a better routine now, the computer has become my TV now....lol, don't know if thats good or bad!!!

Love the backview of the line-up ... that's funny! TV, particularly when it's a rarity, can be riveting.

I like those photos that aren't doctored. They're like the ones everyone used to take. Remember - before we had Photoshop we couldn't change them -they were what they were!

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!
