I was reading Dannii Best's blog (of Kipindi Photography) where she had a flashback Friday post. With not having shared any photos of Easter I thought I'd begin with a last week post, last year etc. In looking over photos taken in April over various years, I discovered a few ones. One of them being, Bella wearing a Winnie the Pooh suit at 12 months of age when Drew begun wearing it at 6 months of age (obviously it was big on her) but it reminded me of her tiny Bella was until she hit the begining of her major growth spurt at 1.75years.
Drew in the suit mentioned, 6 months old sitting up at Nanna's house playing with a childhood toy of mine.
Last week
Good Friday at Uncle Warren's house. Drew, Josh, Nikki and Chloe wearing hat and gloves (easter presents from Aunty Didi and Shaunie).
Ride on lawn mower rides with Uncle Warren (Josh). Who cares if Uncle Warren can't see while "driving" as an excited Josh is too busy waving.
Two year old temper tantrum, niece Chloe upset it was someone else's turn on the ride on (not to mention the poor little chicken was exhausted and overtired).
Last year, 2009
Honeymoon in Port Douglas and Palm Cove
Two boys asleep in my bed (Drew on the left, Josh on the right). Not fighting for 5 seconds and nice and peaceful. Also a place Drew would sleep all the time if allowed as his bed is not comfortable, too hot or any other excuse you can think of.
Nikki and the all important chocolate for breakfast on Easter Sunday
Bella watching the Tarra Valley Festival in Yarram, Easter Saturday

Three years ago, 2007
Aunty Didi's birthday at the "spaceship" park in Narre Warren. Shaunie gets some air off the swing while Nanna pushes Drew, Nikki and Josh on the swings.
Isabella Hope Davidson was born at 12.02am 18th April 2007 and Daddy "caught" her as she was being delivered.
Nikki with a funky hairstyle created by Aunty Didi. Also see her undies poking out from her jeans, reminds me of how all the kids (except Josh) were toilet trainned before they were two. Josh picked up his toilet training skills once Nikki begun toilet training approx. 18/19 months old.
Aunty Fiona (or Fi-nona as Josh called her) and Josh. Who else would drop everything and fly across the country to help family clearly struggling with a mother in her final weeks of her fourth pregnancy. I probably had undiagnosed pre natal depression with post natal depression being diagnosed when Bella was 3 weeks old.
Drew during Easter egg hunt, Easter Sunday. Photo more to capture the yellow gumboots (Josh got as part of his first birthday present from Grandma and Grandad )which all 4 kids wore and we only got rid of when they became too small and Bella was forever attempting to squish her feet into them.

Holiday to Gold Coast with Nat, Aunty Didi and Shaunie. Visited Movie World (photo). Also first time left the kids for any length of time (5 days).
Drew wearing his Easter hat, a present from Aunt Mandz for his first Easter.
Nikki and her curly mop of hair
Josh with Chalazion (eyelid cyst). Had day surgery to remove the 3 infected meibomiam glands on the bottom left lower eyelid.

Nikki and Josh in a toy dolls cot. A gift I received from my maternal grandparents (Oma and Opa) for my third Christmas. Many a time have I found a child playing (or even sleeping in the cot)
Nikki (and Josh) would have a shower with an adult with Nikki getting out first. She would be dressed and then would entertain herself with "junk mail" before falling fast asleep.
