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

"Him"

That's what Saxon calls himself. Don't know why. Whenever he talks about himself (and I use the word "talk" very loosely here, because he can't really talk yet), he points to himself and says "Him!". Which is what he did while I was sitting on his bedroom floor talking photo's of his blanket for todays 365 photo. He stood beside the blanket and pointed to the camera then to himself and told me "Him!". Then he has to check the LCD and giggle at himself. It's very cute!

Photobucket

Oh, and speaking of my 365, I'm on day 40! Can you believe it? Haven't missed a day yet! I'm very proud of me - *pats self on the back*. This weeks theme is "blue" if you haven't been keeping up with it (and shame...SHAME on you if you haven't!). I thought it'd be easy...but it's been way harder than I expected to find blue things that are worthy of photographing. We have a few theme's on the list that I'm dreading (self portraits? 7 of them? Yeah...cuz that's right within my comfort zone - NOT!), but I'll muddle through. I don't promise greatness, just consistancy.

And really, that's what it's all about isn't it?

He is looking for reassurance because his mum keeps putting bows and clips in his hair. It's basic caveman instinct you know... Luv Karl

Heyyy...I haven't bows in hair for ages! Ok, so that's a lie - I put them in all the time, but he's big enough to pull them back out now before I can take photo's of it. Damnit.

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...
