A portrait of my girls, once a week, every week, in 2013.

Mahlia: Looking so grown up in her new dress, catching the water dripping down the cliff at Terrigal Haven. Enjoying the afternoon sun.

Leila: A trip to the Hunter Valley, sitting in a knobbly old tree, holding on tight to her best friend's, Laura's, hand.

Little frog #3: My third little frog is cooking away nicely! 14 weeks, and it is going too fast! And yes, I am ridiculously large for 14 weeks—eekkkk!

I couldn't resist including the final photo. Exploring on the rocks at Terrigal, Mahlia holding Leila's hand and helping her climb up the rocks. I love the reflection.

Mahlia: Little Miss Grumpy at the beach. She came good after a while though and enjoyed the sun and sand.

Leila: Collecting autumn leaves on a walk past the bats.

A portrait of my girls, once a week, every week, in 2013.

Mahlia: She really is a daddy's girl. She'll run to him to ask him for something she knows I'll say no to, as he finds it so hard to say no to her. On the carousel holding his hand, safe in his arms.

Leila: Looking very relaxed with daddy on the paddle board. They'd been searching for fish.

A portrait of my girls, once a week, every week, in 2013.

Mahlia: A trip to the Gosford Show, and she sure loved all the animals! She cuddled and petted everything living thing she saw, even holding an alligator. That little chick felt the love, and burrowed inside her cardigan for a closer cuddle.

Leila: Also loved the animals, but had a ball in the fire engine and the police Porsche—was obsessed with putting the seat belts on—safety first!
