Easter

Happy Easter to all those who are currently celebrating!

Despite the fact that I converted to Orthodox in 2011, we still celebrate both Easters & Christmases, and so will Nelly.

The best of both worlds really.

I took the opportunity of Nelly sleeping peacefully to quickly load in some of her Bunnies and snap this shot as I don't have any Easter themed clothing for her, and to then quickly take them out without disturbing her.

Looking at this photo, I realise that she actually has 2 more bunnies somewhere - everyone seems to have gravitated towards buying her bunnies.

When I was younger my brother Lucas won me a Koala at Timezone, whom I quickly christened Sleepy, and Sleepy went every where with me - we have photos of Sleepy in Bali, Fiji and more local destinations.

One time that my siblings were looking after me I had a big fight with Lucas, I can't remember how old I was, but I yelled at him "I hate you and I wish you weren't my brother" which obviously upset him because him being the firebug that he was, he grabbed Sleepy from my bed and set him on fire and flung him off our balcony deep into the bushes. 

I remember being hysterical and the next day having him retrieved with half a foot missing. 

I slept with Sleepy on my bed until the day that I moved in with The Husband.

The point of this story was to tell you that Cat got Nelly a Koala of her own, and I know that she will love it growing up!  

This photo was taken after Good Friday lunch at Geefas house. 

As you can see, I am still in maternity wear as I have a pretty sizable belly still, I would say it's at about 5 months fullness.

This photo is such a weird angle as I am standing on a hill and The Husband is already taller than me so looking down even more.

As always, a massive seafood feast was put on and I was there to demolish it. 

Bugs. I rate bugs higher than lobster.

Nelly has impeccable timing and just when I was about to sit down for lunch she started to root around looking for the breast, taking it upon her self to suck on my collarbone until I removed my self from the table and went to feed her.

I messaged The Husband telling him to load up my plate in case there was nothing left by the time I was finished and this is what I returned to, but fear not as their was plenty of food to go around.

It's impossible to peel a prawn whilst holding a baby though. 

 

The aftermath.

Vanilla pannacotta makes this old girl pretty damn happy. 

So, what has been happening whilst I have been MIA? Entertain me.
