A Taste Sensation

Natalie's palate was recently treated to baby rice cereal. The series of photographs taken during her first solid's experience are quite amusing.

Where has the time gone?

Steve and I have been together 12 years. On 1st April 1998, at around 9:30pm, I asked Steve if he wanted to officially go out, I even explained that my friend's would call me a chicken in the morning if I didn't ask...thankfully he said "I would love to".

I remember the first year or so and whenever I saw him or spoke to him my heart would race and I would have sickening butterflies in my stomach. I never understood why he wanted to date me, he was older (a whole 2.5 years :P), he was in his first year of uni and I had just started year 11. I knew that it might not last due to our age difference but I was hopeful. I still have a letter from my bestfriend of the time who said that I would marry Steve and have seven of his babies, well I did marry him and I've had TWO babies. If you had told 16 year old me back then that I would have a 'happily ever after' I don't know if I would have believed you...I thought it would take decades to find my one and only!

I love thinking back to our early days and the amazing lust, now I am content with the love, admiration and security we have.

I hope this story continues to be 'they lived happily ever after' and I hope that our relationship is a model for our gorgeous girls. I wish that they find someone who makes them feel as safe and as loved as my husband makes me feel.
