The Reluctant Models






I thought I'dtry to be at least a little bit organised this year and take some photos of the boys ready for our Christmas cards, instead of having the usual late-November panic shoot. Well, it's likely to take until then to get a decent photo of them, as they are suffering from serious 'model fatigue'! Ben will sit still for approximately 28 seconds, before squirming off and lamenting that he's bored. Hmmm, very challenging. Even the Freddo Frog bribe is losing its impact. Time to bring out the big guns, I think - that's right - the promise of Thomas toys. What a sorry state of affairs. This was the best of a bad bunch, and although Alex is out of focus, I might claim artistic intent and use it anyway.

We are over the moon to have my beloved aunt and uncle from England visiting at the moment. It's been so wonderful to spend some time with them and to introduce Sam, and for them to catch up with the twins - time flies and they grow so fast. Hopefully it will inspire the rest of the family to make the trip! Come on, the Pacific Peso has never been cheaper, it's worth about a handful of bottletops at the moment, so there's never been a better time to head on over. The fridge is full of beer and the BBQ is firing up, and we need to make use of this 5-bedroom house......!!

Love,

Kirst
