Slices of life from the past week | 23 – 30 JUNE

Posted on June 30, 2012 by BritMumInNZ

23. MOVEMENT

Nothing beats the thrill of play-time with Daddy! Alice catches some air whilst playing with her Daddy at the playground!

MOVEMENT - ALICE WITH HER DADDY - CATCHING SOME AIR!

24. ON MY MIND

My oldest daughter turned nine this week. Her past, present and future has been very much on my mind.

ON MY MIND - CHARLOTTE TURNING 9 & HER FUTURE!

25. SOMETHING CUTE

Alice, my youngest daughter – and little green tea leaf, taking a taste of my green tea in her favourite yellow gumboots!

SOMETHING CUTE - ALICE, MY LITTLE GREEN TEA LEAF!

26. WHERE I SHOP

I rarely have reason to go shopping in central Wellington these days (filled with young children and days wearing jeans), but I had a reason on Tuesday. This was my scene on Willis Street – where I went to get my NZ permanent residency visa transferred to my new British passport (and nipped into a wonderful chocolate shop to treat myself to some fudge…!).

WHERE I SHOP - WILLIS STREET, WELLINGTON

27. BATHROOM

It’s very rare that I have a bath – or shower – without another child or toy present.

BATHROOM - MY WELLINGTON, NZ DUCK

28. ON THE SHELF

Our piano was tuned on Friday – so I had to move all these precious ornaments (all gifted to us from family) to another shelf for a day.

ON THE SHELF

This is where they normally sit (with Sophie, my second born, discovering the magic behind the polished exterior of our piano):

SOPHIE ON THE KEYS

29. SOFT

There’s a hidden story here… which will quite probably eventuate before Christmas.

SOFT

30. A FRIEND

My best friend, husband and father of my children.

FRIEND

I have LOVED joining in with ‘PHOTO A DAY‘ JUNE. Looking forward to seeing what JULY holds for us!
