These are from our NZ trip in March... They are all from the Holga, too. I decided that was the only camera I was going to bring, and it was liberating!
I'm sure I'll have more as the day goes on...

*finally. on holiday...
I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas! I've chatted with the family back home, and yes, I am jealous they had a white Christmas - Jacob and I had our first Christmas alone... with Timmy of course! It was lovely!
My stay-cation started with a new van Hulst Christmas eve tradition... Tandoori Chicken that Jacob marinated for 2 days and popped on the BBQ. Very nice! We decorated our mini-tree and watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (one of the 2 best Christmas movies ever, only tied with A Christmas Story). We were also visited by the Christmas Huntsman... Bahhh!!!(Apologizes for the iPhone pics on this one... )
Christmas morning is for sleeping in. But saw my xmas pressie from Jacob. Yay!!! New big canvases! And some adorable artwork he mastered on the plastic covering. I almost don't want to use them and ruin his artwork!! I crocheted him a neck warmer with some nice merino wool and some sweet old vintage US Navy sailor buttons I had. I'm going to make myself one. I love it!
We had a few soy flat whites, a few mimosas with super freshly squeezed orange juice (thanks to Jenny's xmas gift from about 10 years ago, yes, my fancy 1950's orange juice maker..), a couple crossiants with my homemade cherry plum jam.. and then Jacob went nuts in the kitchen... Eggs with Gravalax and onions and chili. Oh goodness - Yum!!!
They rest of the day we lounged, went for a walk around the park with Timmy. Then came back to make dinner, Bugs!!!! I made some potato salad and peach salsa. Yes, we basically just pigged out all day!
Yum!!!
I spent some time later in the day with my camera around the house. The light was perfect and I couldn't resist.
Anyway. Back to doing some domesticness that is catching up on laundry and grey-watering the garden.

Jacob scored heaps of fruit from a friend... Fruit salad, stewed applesauce, and the cherry plums from the tree in the front yard...
We played Rummy on Xmas Eve - proof I won!
Timmy's new hobby. Chewing books. Ugh.
And my catching up on the crochet projects. Including Jacob's xmas gift.

*timmy
I just realised I haven't posted in ages!!! Yikes!!!!
The last couple weeks, our lil Timmy had a few issues. My *lovely* Jacob fed him a rather large lamb bone. Timmy, instead of burying it like he normally does, ate the entire thing in one shot. Yeah. Poor thing couldn't poo for days. I had to take him to the vet on Monday morning... then a couple Xray's and tests later - they saw what was blocking his insides. The bone had compacted in his system and created these massive stones that weren't budging. They were going to have to operate on his if they didn't come out after a couple days. Ugh!!! I was so stressed out. Later that day he was able to push out two of the blockages, but there was still one that evenutally came out 3 days later.
So no operations, thank goodness. Now he's mostly back to normal. Poor lil nugget.
