Christmas
This time last year I was VERY pregnant with my two beautiful twins!
They are now 11 months old, standing on their own, not yet walking though!
Esther Joy is 1 minute younger then....
Zane Arthur!
I adore them to pieces, they are my JOY! I have so been blessed with a year, although VERY busy & full on, that has been enjoyable....I so prayed I would ENJOY my last child, not be so tough on myself...well, I enjoyed my last 2 babies!!! I still am. They make me laugh & giggle all the time. They are able to heal a heavy heart, they make me thankful. I am very thankful for two HEALTHY babies.
Eric, who is now 4.5 years old is starting school in 2012! Oh, I can hardly believe it! He is gorgeous, loves the twins (sometimes a little to rough) but to Esther he can do anything, & Zane just laughs at him!
Solomon is such a brilliant help, the BIG brother to the rescue. HE is caring, gentle and compassionate. Sometimes gets very sick of being asked to help, but normally engrossed by his siblings!
My children are precious, I have been so BLESSED!
This Christmas we are a family of 6! We have survived & made it through our first year with 2 babies being the same age!! WOWZA!!
Paul has surprised even himself with many nappy changes, night feeds (he couldn't use the 'I have no boobs' excuse), at two weeks they were put on bottles!
He has burped, dressed, bathed, & fed, as well as finished his apprenticeship in Electrician. What a year!
Did we ever think we would have 4 children? No, but we are so in love with each of them! And thank the Lord each day for bringing them into our world.

Christmas
The lead up to Christmas has been SO very different to this time last year.
Last year I was pregnant with two little people growing rapidly inside my tummy.
There was so much anticipation to meet TWO little one's at the same time!
I felt utterly BLESSED & so privileged, to think the Lord thought I & my husband could handle TWO, at once!!
I could hardly move or breath with comfort! Esther, was jammed up under my ribs & it sometimes felt as if they were fighting for space....they were both head up (breech). Two heads under my rib cage was excruciating, & four feet....I don't think I need to say anymore!!!
Christmas was very quiet, the first time ever I had not been around extended family. It was Paul, myself & our two boys...we had a great, simple day. The boys played with there new toys & I rested...this is pretty much ALL I could do!
A week later, Mum arrived, Saturday I wished the babies would JUST GET themselves OUT!!! By Tuesday I was in SO much uncomfortable pain, we rung the hospital & decided to go in. Thank goodness as I was already in labor!
The next 2 hours went by VERY quickly, they rushed me down to the theater (I was to have a c-section as both were breech)...now to fill you in a bit here....
I have a GREAT fear of NEEDLES, I NEVER in my life wanted to have a c-section (only if necessary

'DOING ME'!
Lesson learnt..."Do You"...connecting one human to another.
"people may forget what you said, but they will never ever forget how you made them feel".
Laura-Creating Fame
I so desire Pollen to be a WHOLE experience. One of wearing unique clothing which brings joy, happiness, comfort & a WOW factor... enjoyable & fun to purchase, also.

WELCOME BACK!!!
Hello all,
It has been a while...twins are now 10 months old & I am able to focus on Pollen a little better now.
Thanks for patience...
I have launched Pollen Clothing website, now have a facebook page and am putting Pollen out there! Into the big wide world.
Enjoying the roller coaster of a ride...
How do I do it?
With a supportive husband & 4 beautiful children who motivate , challange & drive me to be the best I can be in Christ, & all that I put my hand too.
I haven't gone back to working with flowers, miss it but that is for another time...not very family friendly that passion:)

love.life.passion.
Life in my home has chnged forever...
two new little bundles of delight have forever
shifted it.
Zane & Esther (our new twins) are such a delight.
Ohhh....I prayed so hard that no matter what I would enjoy and take delight in them.
My prayers were answered.
I am content...
My eldest boy, Solomon, loves them And is a little in awe
of them. I can tell by the glimmer in his eyes when he looks at them.
Eric, my now middle child, loves to cuggle (cuddle) them. Even nursing them
whilst they have a scream waiting for their bottle to heat up. He knows even to make a shhh...shhh. sound to try and comfort them.

This is how I found Esther lying after Zane woke from a sleep. She is a little bed hog, her feet were kicking her brother in the back!
This is Eric playing his crocodile to one of the twins, he wa ssinging twinkle twinkle little star and old mcdonald had a farm...very sweet!
Zane relaxing in the hammock!! They both fitted in here when first home from hospital...they now don't quite fit together:)
Solomon watching tv, while Esther digests a much full tummy...such a great big brother.
At the moment my blog seems to be more about family then Pollen... whilst Pollen is being a little neglected, I am having loads of ideas and directions for Pollen. Slowly, but surely, I am and will get back in the swing.
I am actually very excited with the ideas I am thinking up for Pollen.
Esther is already becoming my little muse:)

Blog background
Thanks to Shabby Blogs I have just changed the look of my blog...
Nothing like a change for the new year!
Hopeing to get back into sewing soon, maybe a stitch here, maybe a stitch there....
depending on my 2 littles....
Very hard to have all this gorgeous fabric and not be making gorgeous clothes and little goodies out of it:)
Mum has been having some fun since being here, making herself a top and some aprons...all while bathing, feeding and looking after babies, me and my family. Very talented Mum, very thankful for her.
Babies have even been seen wearing 'Pollen'....glad I got to make a few outfits for them before their arrival.
If only I could remember to take photo's....I think I would like a new, more professional camera as well....
Babies are doing very well, very cute...I have never seen a whole feed of milk be spewed up before though! They don't do this often only when they are trying to increase their feeds.
Esther trying to eat Zane's nose....after a hard night with them, I decided to put them right up close to each other to see what they would do. Esther was screaming and Zane just stayed there, Esther quickly went quiet and they both feel asleep:)SO in love with them...great double blessing! Thank you Lord!
