(DEAR DADDY ~ a personal, sentimental and heartfelt journey where I capture a collection of images within the week of our children, as my husband serves on HMAS Parramatta during a 6mth deployment)
We have been all sick this week which has made juggling just the simple things a task. We are feeling back on track now so finally here is our last week in review.

Dear Daddy,
It was my stay at home with mummy day today and we had big plans to get my haircut and a MILKSHAKE!! Im kinda liking this new routine of having mummy all to myself (well, when Ethan is down – but he’s ok. He laughs at me so he’s pretty cool!) Mum spoilt me with lunch out too and then kept going on about how grown up I looked now. Yeah…I think being 4 has big boots to fill. Im rocking it pretty good too – just so you know! I love my new haircut because it looks like yours and Im liking the little spike too, but I don’t flatten it at the back like you used to
Its just not in now!! lol. missing you lots daddy…cant wait til we can both go get our hairs cut together. Fun times!!

Dear Daddy,
Oh to be outdoors!! How i love it, crave it and cry when I get walked passed the window and cannot go out. This is my haven of space. Its where I giggle, soar, am joyful, smile from deep within and dream away. Life is sweet when Im in my little happy place.

Dear Daddy,
She is loveable.
Gives amazingly big hugs that wrap around your neck and will always pucker her lips to greet yours to smooch. She LOVES to smooch. lol.
Her eyes are crystal blue and deep as the ocean.
She is feisty now. She has a temper. She is cheeky but can be sweet at the drop of a hat.
She is unpredictable and has a heart of gold.
She is growing up WAY.TO.FAST!

Dear Daddy,
Well my love…today marks the start of a new chapter for me. This image I have taken today is my way of putting my heart out there, on the line and being accountable for my actions of what I am about to set out to do. I am embarking on finding a new zest for life. Positivity. Health. Ambition. Motivation and Determination. I am going to embrace a new found energy, lifestyle and love for myself that I have been craving to do. I’ve joined up for the Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation online program and I am determined to get as much out of these next 12 weeks that I can. Today pre-season started so technically, I still have a month to prepare my mind for the changes that are going to be in force. I LOVE that my whole life is getting an overhaul and the change in my appearance is just the icing on the cake. I am putting structures and routines in place in my life that will make life so much more rewarding, especially for when you get home. I cannot wait. I’m pumped. Im excited and I WILL succeed!!! Watch out, a new me is in the making! Bring it ON!

Dear daddy,
Yes you may have been an only child but I promise you, when you witness again the love between these beautiful children we have brought into this world together, I assure you…the universe will fill your heart with an overwhelming sense of pride that you were able to give them this amazing gift. It will complete you, in ways you couldn’t of imagined.
I never tire of seeing it and it fills my heart with such overwhelming emotions. Its indescribable.

Dear Daddy,
We’ve been having some pretty hot weather here and what better way than to lap it up with some buckets of water out the backyard, some water guns and of course…iceblocks. Today was a real treat to enjoy. And because its not often we are all together in once place at one time…we thought we’d make it happen for you this week.

Dear Daddy,
If my smile could brighten just a small part of your day today, then my heart is happy and complete.
