Whats that on my feet?

Hello Everyone. Another week and a whole lot of new memories with our little one, Evelyn. A few days ago some friends of ours called Jon and Chris gave Katie and I a gift for Evelyn. It turned out to be these cute little socks with bugs on them. When we first put them on Evelyn she looked stunned. it was priceless. She is having a lot of fun wearing them.

Evelyn loves the camera and is only too willing to give all of us her best look for every shot. We had some fun today while Mum was out by rocking out to Bon jovi and taking photos of Dad and daughter.

The three of us are doing well and looking forward to a Christmas and new years break together. Its hard to believe that Evelyn is over 4 months old now. Every week she changes and grows and becomes more alert and more engaged in life.

Until next time.

Brook, Katie and Evelyn

Evelyn of Arabia

Hi Everyone. We hope life is treating you all well. Here's our usual weekly update of a week in the life of Evelyn Grace Turner. I think the photo of her with Katie after she has had a bath makes her look like Laurence of Arabia. I have been away for the last four days and in that time Katie has taken over 60 photos. So I chose some of the standout shots and posted them for all to see. Evelyn is getting good tummy time each day and is learning to hold her head up on her own. Katie and I have had a bet on her eye colour as it has been changing since she was born. I thought she was going to have blue eyes like me but Katie thought she would have brown eyes.

It turns out her eyes are turning brown so I guess katie is the winner. A regular occurance in this household.

Have a great week.

Love Brook, Katie & Evelyn

BONANZA AND SUPER GIRL

Hi family and friends. Another week has gone by and more photos have been taken. Evelyn, Mummy and Daddy are doing well and having lots of fun together.

Notice the photos of Daddy holding Evelyn in the flying position. I think if Evelyn was a super hero she would be super girl. She loves it when we hold her like this. You will also notice the photo of Evelyn on my knees with a look of absolute glee on her face. This is when Dad bounces her on his knees to the tune of Bonanza.

There is a photo of family here too and one of Evelyn with her friend, Brooke Lusby, on Ev's play mat.

I particularly love the individual shot of Evelyn in this series of photos. You can really see her features and notice her growth if you scroll down and compare to earlier photos.

We hope you all have a blessed week.

Brook, Katie and Evelyn.

Rattles and Swiss Balls

Hi Everyone. We hope you have had a fantastic week. Here are some more photos of the family including Evelyn's first swiss ball session. She loved being on her tummy and is learning to keep her head up (very important for crawling). One of the other photos shows Ev in her cot for the first time with her teddy. Dad and Mum assembled the cot together on Saturday and are very proud of themselves for the effort (man, cots are complicated to put together!). Dad managed to finish the assembly of the cot without swearing a single time!

The cot is a beautiful gift from Granma and Grandad Stiles who we visited for lunch on Sunday. Katie had a reunion with her old youth group leaders, Ray and Sharon, who she hasn't seen for like 10 years now! Great to catch up with old friends.

Evelyn is also learning to hold things in her little cute hands. You can see her here holding a rattle. It's really funny when she does this. She also goes off to sleep holding her dummy in her hand as well.


Blessings,
Brook, Katie & Evelyn.

Another weekend as family

Hi everyone. heres a few more photo's of the family. They include Mummy Turner bathing little Evelyn. Daddy Turner weeding the vege garden (THIS IS PURE LOVE, I HATE WEEDING),and Evelyn in her first re-useable nappy. Thats right, we are getting cleaner and greener. We have even changed our washing powder to the ECO brand. There is also a photo here that Mummy took of Dad sleeping with the little one next to him at the crack of dawn. Pretty shaddy photography but at least Evelyn looks cute. As you can see life is settling down for us as a family although the changing of the nappies always has the potential to surprise us. Evelyn is very talkative now and smiles and gigles lots. Hope all of you are doing well.

God bless

Brook and Katie
