Love, bubs and life on our little farm

I am now officially less than a year away from 30! Gulp!

I had a nice low key birthday - unlike most people it seems, judging by the comments, I was quite happy to go to work on my birthday. I mean a lot of my friends are there anyway! We went out for lunch too which is always a nice way to spend a work day :)

I was woken by my lovely hubby and about five interesting shaped gift wrapped boxes. Much to my delight he had spoilt me with a Nikon SLR camera and multiple lenses to go with it! I used to take photography and actually topped it in high school and have lamented that my old SLR was not digital for many years. Any reader of this blog would now that the snap shots I post are hardly anything quality. So its just wonderful to have something to play with again and I have high hopes that I can at least take some decentish photos when I get the hang of it!

We finished my birthday with a nice dinner out, little Elka was a well behaved angel. Finally there was the perfect end to a birthday, with a white chocolate mud cake. Not to mention that my little princess learnt how to say "Happy Birthday Mummy" and to sing "Happy Birthday" for me!

We will finish the celebrations next week with my family as they are coming up to mind Elka whilst Jase and I go on our wedding anniversary holiday. Hopefully I can document the holiday beautifully with the new camera!

Alas due to long hours at work I haven't had much time to play with the SLR yet but I did take a few shots while Elka and I fed the animals this evening, despite the failing light.. (I suspect this is the first of many photos you will be subjected to!)
