Ok, so in order to know a bit more about me, it is important to know a bit more about my children. Otherwise no one will ever make sense of this blog, there are after all four of them, thus so easy to confuse name, number, placing. They all have big personalities.
Mia, firstborn, turns nine in November. Intelligent, of course! How in the world would she not be, we knew it the day she was born. You know, your first is born, you take one look at them and just KNOW, this child is genius, she's going to be president. More realistically, she probably will follow her dad into business.
By the time Julia was born 2 years later, Mia had sobered us up a bit. Julia would probably not be president, but, she would definitely be top in her class, we can't after all, lower the standard too much. According to Julia, she'll be a designer.
Olivia, almost four, arrived 3 years after Julia. And well, if we ever had moulds or standards for our children, Olivia managed to smash all that to pieces. Here was a girl, much like her mother, who was too stubborn and strong-willed to fit in anybody's mould. Olivia is going to do things her way, thank you very much!
David, born 2 years and 2 months after Olivia-individuality, is just the most placid laid-back boy. Just like his Daddy.
The photo above just is so loaded. David is a little, ok a lot, snotty and so fed up with this photo shoot. Julia is just loving that SHE can hold him, and be posing while doing so. Mia is sweetly looking over at David to see how she can help. Olivia is more than a little perturbed. This noisiness, and the fact that she has to conform, is just absolutely cramping her style. The photo is not so much here because it is so beautiful, but because it's real and says so much.
So, my life is more than a little colourful, but I love it. I feel so blessed and fulfilled.

oi
"Oi? Why oi?" says my clever daughter. "Mama, make a bit more sense!" Well, oi because I am so clueless, so technologically handicapped, that I don't even know what made me start blogging. I just often have words in my head that I want to put down somewhere, so bear with me. I have a lot to learn. Here we go.......
