Well, well, well guess who grew up and guess who wasn't ready for it, yup me!  Our oldest grandchildren Grayson 18 and Tayla 15.  Where oh where have the days gone because I swear it was only yesterday my oldest daughter was tellling me she was pregnant for the first time and in the blink of an eye we suddenly have two teenagers and with Grayson turning 18 this year he's really an adult not a teen.  They are two of the best humans I know and yes I'm a little bias, they are afterall my oldest grand-son and grand-daughter. These amazing humans love on the younger cousins To View More >>

When they say good friends are hard to find they obviously hadn't met Carmen or her son Sonny.  This mother and son duo met up with us to have lunch - yum another excuse to go to the Stables on Alfpha!  We looked into a couple of places in Cambridge and found this new little place (well new to me) Lake Te Joo Utu Reserve was basically just up the road from where we were and what an awesome little place for photos of any kind.

Little Theo Michael Phillips came into the world on April 12th 2021.  The fourth little human of Krissy and Blair.  Youngest brother of Kade, Bailey and little Oliver.  He also happens to be our eighth grandchild. Named after grandad and boy does he (grandad) like to remind us all about this wonderful achievement of his hahaha.  In fact, we are not allowed to call him Theo, we have to call him Theo Michael (good lord grandad, you can't be serious), sorry folks - he is in actually very serious!

A mid March maternity session was in need for our fourth daughter Krissy, preganant with her fourth child due in April. We headed to our go to spot in Centennial Drive in Matamata.  With Krissy looking as stunning as ever, we decided for her final maternity session we would just do this one solo - no hubby or children, after all we can get family photos once little man is born.
