What flood, meet Edward,
Hello everyone, I have had these photos above for over 2 years and finally decided it was time to use them, we had flash flooding back in Nov 08, and whilst we did the clean up Mr. Nate just slept.....I used my echo park papers and some older sass lass, my MM corrugated and gorgeous purple pumpkin flower.
Two weeks ago we took Nate to the Ashton's circus tricks activities held in Laidley, he had a ball and so did we, just watching him in action. Here he is doing the human pyramid.
And here learning to walk the tightrope, this is one of the only shots I got of him looking where he was going, lol their was so much action he didn't know where to look first.
This boy has no fear of trying new things, you should of seen him on the trapeze, my camera battery of course went flat but he is a monkey I swear.
I printed out my blog and received it in the mail last week, so photos of other things we do on here seem so important, you know it is an awesome book and Nate and I are reading it at bed time now. Totally recommend it, it cost about $80 but is just amazing to see 2 years of journalling and layouts in a book format. Pics next post....
Meet Edward, he is helping me to get fit.....I got him last week and so hoping the novelty with Nate will wear off, they are so huge and it sits in my dining room so I can watch the tv, wish me luck....I don't like walking outside, I always feel like when we go for a walk, Nate might get tired and last time we went a dog came out of its yard and I picked Max and Stan up immediately .....just too scary.....
Hope you are all well. Melx

Hey, Mel, cool LO, lovin' the newsprint and misting, and how gorgeous is that flower!? The subject matter is pretty darn cute, too! I would totally be all over circus training, trying the trapeze is something I should put on my bucket list. If I had a bucket list. Maybe I should start one!
