Growing up....

Thought I'd share some pics of Toto and Boo that I took on the last day of 2008. I can't believe how quickly they're growing up. I look at these photos and see two "almost" teens. And am extremely grateful that they're still such loving and affectionate and respectful boys. I'm truly blessed....

The new iPods are such a hit! The best bit? The episodes of "Top Gear" that I downloaded for them.


"Muuuuummmm.... leave me alone (grin)"


"I'm seriously over this photography obsession of yours"


"I'm fierce and scary" (followed by peels of laughter)

God....you are going to have to handle so many girls ringing and falling at your doorstep....they're gorgeous. In very different ways.

Fe said...

Thanks Le. Me too... not so that they could mentor so much, but just so that we could hang out and they could play with your wee ones.

LOL Wikke! Keri and Jara have an advantage though!! I can't even imagine how I'll handle the "girl issue" when it arises. With grace and serenity I HOPE. With anxiety and prayer probably!

They are gorgeous photos of gorgeous boys. Their beautiful nature is due to their beautiful Mum, I'm sure. :)

(And I get the "I'm over your photography obsession, Mum" sentiment too!)

They're all better? Can we visit?

Thanks everyone. Nice to know it's not just their biaised old Mum who thinks they're pretty darn gorgeous.

And well spotted Carleen! It's a t-shirt I bought for him in Banff in 2006.

Lali... we're still sick.. not meant to be contagious but also not meant to take the risk with babes, preggers chicks or the elderly. You know, just in case the DOCTORS got the treatment wrong.

I'm being pretty careful all around. I simply couldn't handle the guilt if we passed this on.

What handsome boys you have and so well photographed too! I hope 2009 turns out to be a good one for you.

Those freckles are adorable!!!
But don't tell them that, I'm sure they don't appreciate them. (but I bet a few girls do!!)
Your boys are beautiful and the photos are terrific shots.

They do look more grown up even than earlier this year, especially Toto.
