Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

Backing up...

No, not the computer. Me. You might have noticed that I like close up pics. Big shiny eyes, all that jazz. The problem with this is that I never take anything below the neck. And while I'd be happy if there were no photo's of me from the neck down, apparently people want photo's of their whole child - not just the head. Who knew?

So I've been making an effort to take a step (or 5) backwards and see what I end up with. I asked Wyatt very nicely (read: bribed) if I could take his picture today and he agreed (because he wanted to play with his unbrella and watering can and I was holding them both for ransom!).

Here's what we got...

Looks thrilled, doesn't he? (Todays 365 pic)

No, he's not tied to that post (although I have thought about it)...but check it out! All the way down to his feet!

No feet in this one though...

Backed up a bit more here...

All of him...

And because I really just can't help myself...

I like this in B&W too. I'm really loving B&W lately.

Finally claimed his prize!

I'm really pleased with them. We were down stairs (these were all taken in the driveway, it's really overcast today) for 10 minutes tops. Not bad, I thought.

Oh, and just so we don't forget exactly who we're dealing with here...

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
