how times are a'changing.......

you know it doesn't seem like a moment ago 

that my kiddles were like this.....

Evie on her second birthday.....

Isaac giving it his best 'Wallace' smile.....

just small and dependent..... 

nothing to worry about except that mummy was within shouting 

distance and there were always snuggles and cuddles available.....

those days are SOOOOOO precious and so often remembered.....

but times change, as they should, and our kiddles grow.....

they become more independent with desires and whims all their own.....

Evie is an independent spirit and she likes to try new things..... 

nothing much phases her...... 

she enjoys the next new thing.....

and so we found ourselves in the hairdresser 

for the second time in five months 

{we don't frequent hairdressers much in our family 

as a rule so this was a unusual occurance......}

she wanted a hairstyle just like Emma Watson 

{who plays Herminone Grainger in the Harry Potter movies - 

just incase you didn't know who she is..... 

which the hairdresser didn't so we had to find a picture of the style we meant}, 

and also just like her cousin Abigail in America....

so she went from this:

to this at the end of September last year:

and today she went to this........

doesn't she look gorgeous.....

very pixie-ish and it shows off her beautiful big, brown eyes.......

she is now looking forward to the 'ear-piercing-for-my-tenth-birthday'..........
