Project Life, Weeks 24 & 25

Hi y'all!
Here are some more of my Project Life pages!
Week 24: LHS.
I do love this WRMK page protector, the little square pockets at the top and bottom are perfect for Instagram pics (which I take A LOT of!) plus the middle section is good for those extra pics that can't fit anywhere else.
This week was a regular ol' week for us, just hanging out at Bunnings, and at home, some everyday things around the house like Jaimeson cleaning his teeth, and playing with trains (the usual!) & I went to the Quilt and Craft show with Mum. Plus the middle section was good to fit in 4 pics of Jaimeson's swimming lessons, which I was super happy to get along to watch! I usually work on Wednesday, so Will takes him, but this time I got to go watch, and he's awesome at swimming!

Week 24: RHS
This RHS page protector is also by WRMK and has a long pocket down the side which is perfect for our "Week in review".
We visited Alicia during this week, she looks so little in these pics, compared to now! That's another thing I love about PL, seeing how the children grow up over the course of a year, a lot changes!
Also this week I used a "filler card" about what we're watching on TV at the moment. I know this will be so interesting to look back on over the years when TV shows come and go! It will be the equivalent of "Oh man, I can't believe anyone ever actually liked Beverly Hills 90210, it's so crap!" {giggles}

Week 25: LHS
I was so happy to have done the craft at Playgroup this week cos it was hand printing, and Jaimeson's handprint  made a perfect addition to PL! So cute!! I really need to handprint the boys more often, remind me! {writing notes on back of hand}.
This week we had a lunch date & Op Shopping trip to the city, there are my Vintage scores! They seem to be appearing more often in PL, I must be finding good things! {high five!} And there is also a little story on the right hand long strip of the page protector talking about Jaimeson and his love of the Home Ice Cream Van's tiny chocolate covered hearts.

Week 25: RHS
I had to censor these pics for use on my blog, you can just imagine faces in place of the hearts if you wish {wink}.
Check out Jaimeson in the bottom right pic, he's singing karaoke into a skipping rope handle. LOL! He is just the funniest! He uses lots of things as microphones- the turkey baster, skipping rope, peg toys etc. If it's remotely shaped like a microphone, it gets sung in to. {belly laugh!} Australian Idol get ready!
I used lots of cards from my Studio Calico PL kit this week, which is awesome cos I've got quite a collection of 3x4 cards, but I use mostly 4x6 pockets! It's gonna take me eons to use up all my 3x4 cards!
How is your PL going?

He's Here!!

Welcome Flinders (Flynn) Lok Ping Lam!!
Our special little guy was born Tuesday 22/10/13 at 8:26pm. He weighed a hefty 4.455kg/ 9lb 13oz {whoa!} & was 52.5cm long.
I ended up having a water birth, which was unexpected! But I was in the bath (an awesome pain reliever for contractions!) and labour advanced a bit quicker than expected, so the midwives decided to leave me there rather than try to move me between contractions. So even though he was quite a massive baby, I managed to push him out with only gas as a pain reliever, and I didn't need any stitches or anything after either. Woo Hoo {high five!} I thank the bath for that!
It was a quick labour too, I was induced with prostin at 2:30pm, my water broke at 6pm & he was born at 8:26pm! Quite quick!
Here is Jaimeson meeting his little brother for the first time!
 
So in love already! Like honestly, Jaimeson gives Flynn about 4000 kisses a day! Flynn is going to have to get used to a bit of rough love!
Daddy is a bit smitten too!

 So we're settling into life as a family of 4, having a few breastfeeding issues with Flynn, but hopefully it's just a phase that we'll be able to work through. It's a bit stressful at the moment though!
But I have to say, I have adjusted to mummyhood a lot easier this time, than with Jaimeson. It took me a whole 9 days before I cried this time, and with Jaimeson I had cried so much before we even left hospital! LOL!
So now I've got heaps of pics to use for Project Life! LOL! How to choose???!!
