Growing up!

My little girl is growing up so fast that it scares me! She goes back to school next Tuesday in year 8. I can still remember her first day in reception!!

For the last couple of months her taste in clothes and styles has changed so much that she has to be with me when buying clothes so that I don't get the wrong ones! Pink is definately OUT and doesn't exist in her wardrobe anymore, even if it's only a hint. She prefers to wear combats, jeans or skirts with leggings.

She has been on at me for ages to dye her hair black so yesterday we did it!! Here are some photos of before and after. The before pic was taken last week when we were camping in Cornwall.


Although it was a shock at first, I quite like it darker. Her friend thinks it's cool! Wonder what the kids at school will make of it?!

New York, New York!

What a fabulous place to visit! We had so much fun even though we walked our feet off! The sights, sounds and smells of the city will stay with me for a long time. I have put some of my pics into a slide show for you to see. These were taken with our little Nikon coolpix. Our Cannon was used a lot more for taking pics in RAW for Rob to mess around with. We took a 1gb memory card with us and by the middle of our second day Rob had used it up and had to buy a 4gb one!!
