Just another week

This weekend was nice and quite once again!

Thankfully, I didn't have any shoots this weekend and we basically

just chilled. We did take a drive to visit Maggie & Neville, Gemma's

love of hats came out once again. We did a drive by Cezanne & CC, Gemma enjoyed CC's left overs. Had soup at wine at Ian & Kerstin's too.

On a lighter note :) hee hee

I weighed myself on Friday and have finally got passed a weight hurdle! Just another 2 kgs to my goal weight! LOVE IT!

The great out doors

Once again a nice quiet week! Emotionally that is.

My boundaries are firmly in place and its seems

very little is impacting on me and my family! WOW!

We spent Friday night on our own. Nice!

Saturday morning brought Harry Potter back into my life, so

that's kept me busy!

Gemma had a play date with Cara-Claire & Zoe at wiggle

waggle. The girls had a great time. Gemma hardly smiled due

to her mouth being sore but i know she has fun.

After that we went to spend some time in the forest with Lisa

& Gary with the gang. haha.

Sunday after church and lunch Bonnie, Paul & the girls came round,

I tried my best to get a few photos of the girls together but it just wasn't

going to happen! hee hee! Got a few nice photos though.

Of to court this morning, just going to support Andre,

they robbed our shop in march and someone has tried to cash cheques

out of the stolen cheque book. Lets hope the courts run

on time!

Friends & Family

So this past week was a good one. No drama! Gemma was at the doctor again and they have put her on a stronger pump for her chest. She coughs in the morning and at night. It already seems to be working as she's sleeping MUCH better.

I've had this idea for a photo and I've started playing with it. Tatum, Cindy's little angel was ready and willing to help out!

I think Imust still get a back drop but at least the idea is there.

We spent the weekend doing things just for us as a family. Was rather nice for a change. Gem's and I went out for tea on Saturday to play with a lot of girls.

Sunday we had our monthly lunch, this time at our house, with Cindy and Chantelle.

I like this tradition. ( we just started it) Its not always that we see eye to eye with our family and this is better than family. Family have to love you. Friends choose too.

Maine Frame Photography gets off the ground

Well well. What can i tell u! I'm FAMOUS! ha ha ha. The last couple of weeks have been getting busier for my on the photography side. I've been busy the last few weekends and the next few to come! Not complaining. I'm still having a ball.

The weekend was nice and relaxing. Tanya come over Friday night. Leon and i shopped Saturday morning. Saturday evening Tanya baby sat for us and we joined Ian and Kerstin at the Extreme Hotel in town. It was such fun! Its a themed hotel with fun little extras! Worth the visit.

Now as I'm typing this I've got the flu! Not my idea of a great end to the weekend! ha ha. Hope to have a productive week!!!!

Limits

Ok. So i got told yesterday that my boundaries need to be adjusted with curtain people in my life. But how? How do I put up boundaries? I was given something to read by a life coach, the reasoning make so much sense but the action!!!! oh hell that's not easy.This is what it says about boundaries : Our personal Boundaries set the limits for acceptable behaviour in people around us. The quality of all our relationships depends on the strength of our boundaries. Boundaries are a measure of self respect and its vital to set them at a level that feels comfortable to you. personal boundaries both protect and attract. Weak boundaries leave you vulnerable, taken for granted,abused or damaged by others. A healthy self-respect that says,'i deserve better than this" protects us from exploitative relationships, and from loving those who may not always have our best interests at heart.
So now my head understands what boundaries are, how do i make my heart understand?

Falling in love

For the guys that read this! Eat your heart out! Leon and i try and do something once a month for each other and this month on our 6years and 8 months of togetherness he bought me flowers. Now for allot of you ladies flowers isn't really a big deal. However for me, it really doesn't happen often! Let alone my fav's, Yellow roses! The last few weeks have been so much fun for us. It feels as if we're falling in love all over again. I wonder what the next next 6y8m's have in store! (hopefully a few more bunches of flowers! LEON!) ha ha
