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

A belated birthday post...

See...told you I was really slack :o/ I'm making it up for it though...many many pictures today!

Our little boy was 1 on the 4th of July. What a year it's been...it started so suddenly and so terrifyingly...but it's gone by so fast. Here's Saxon's first year in pictures...

The very first photo taken... July 4th 2007, 5lbs 3 oz (2.35kg's), 7 weeks premature.

Looking so tiny in the crib ready to go on the plane at 6 hours old...

Check out the dummy...it was too big for his tiny little mouth.

Brotherly love.

Sooooo busted!

Birthday cupcakes (Mummy is the self proclaimed cupcake queen!) Looks impressed, doesn't he?
Photobucket

After the party...it was all too much for him! Didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry.
Photobucket

Settled down now, he found something to play with. Typical boy!

He's come a long way, our little boy. He's got 7 teeth, weighs 11.3 kg's, and can almost stand unsupported. He loves to snuggle, and chatters almost constantly. Everytime someone opens or shuts a door he waves goodbye, and he bounces up and down and claps when we sing "If you're happy and you know it...". He's a bit behind Wyatt at his age (both in size and development), but that's to be expected. He'll be a couple of months behind "normal" until he's about 2.5. He's the most loving and beautiful little boy you'll ever meet...and that's not just because he's ours, honest! We're not sure if it's because of how tiny and sick he was when he was born, or maybe because he's our last baby...but he's just so special.

Great Pictures, thanks

What are you doing, working with portable network graphic files?

That is a "proper" computing protocol

Love to you all

I know! Aren't I clever? They don't deteriorate like Jpeg's, so my photo's stay all pretty and sharp - no compression artifacts :o)

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...
