a beautiful weekend

i had such an great weekend. me and ben spent most of it outside enjoying the beautiful warm weather, walking around my 'almost my' town. Its exciting to drive into pt wakefield now, feeling like I'm driving home. not long now! id have to say the thing im most excited about is the fruit and veg shop in pt wakefield, its such a warm shop (as in it has a good feel) and it has really great fresh fruit n veg (taste nicer than woolies and is often cheaper!) me and kylie (who used to live in pt. wakefield) are always talking about how great it is and soon it will be my 'local' so until i have a garden filled to the brim with home grown fruit and veggies(which i cant see happening while were renting) this will do the trick nicely, yay!

speaking of yay, kylie is going to be working in wakie over the summer holidays!!! it will be so nice to have her about the place while I'm still new to it, with kylie about it will instantly feel like home. Today we went to the beach together and had a sunny morning of fun and she introduced me to ice cream sandwiches. don't know what their really called but they're ice cream sandwiched between biscuit/cakey stuff that doesn't freeze(stays soft) they are REALLY REALLY GOOD!!!

and here's my funny man, each time i would take a pic of him he would try to blink as i pressed the button. it took me a while to notice as my camera is so quick it mostly caught a pic before his eyes closed! (i certainly didn't have that with the old point n shoot!) (pics taken manual, totally starting to understand what settings are about, so lovin the creative control that manual offers. ((well more so will offer once i know what I'm doing lol:))

also took some pics of his beautiful niece on the weekend. she is soo cute, almost a year old(she'll feel utterly spoiled on her birthday by her uncle benny and i, we went a bit crazy choosing clothes and toys last target toy sale) its so cute now that shes crawling around the place. she loves tapping on the glass door to get bens parent's dog Jasper's attention

and heres my fav pic a bit bigger so i can show off how sharp i got her eyes and eye lashes, im pretty proud of that effort. (especialy with a quick moving bubba!) pictures were taken auto with manual focus (because by the time i got camera sorted for manual she woulda been glued to to the window chatting to Jasper)
