Harveys At Home

After a very long 40 weeks, we finally got to meet Ella on the 1st February!

The stats on Ella:

With two boys that made their way into the world very quickly, we were pretty much on standby, suitcase packed and in the car at all times [...]

Today we spent the morning down at the Sandgate Kidspace, right near the pier, celebrating Cooper’s first birthday, which happens to be tomorrow.  I can’t believe he’s only been around for a year – it seems as though he has always been here!  It was a rainy, windy morning but the kids still had a [...]

So.
In case you have no idea what we have been doing or why we have seemingly disappeared off the face on the Internet world, we have been making some rather large changes. 

We have moved states recently. Very recently in fact. Like last week.  Last week was a long week…!
We have moved into our new house. [...]

Not that we had a very exciting, news worthy weekend, but for once we did happen to take quite a few photos!

Reuben with his first taste of avocado – on a Vegemite sandwich no less!  It was all gone in a matter of minutes…  I think [...]

Saturday morning we decided to pack up the boys and spend the night in Canberra.  You know, just for something different :)

Marc had been talking about taking Owen to Cockington Green Gardens for ages.  Pretty much since we have been living in NSW.  So that was really the only thing that was on our Canberra [...]

Thanks heaps Auntie Jode!
(And Uncle Mick [...]

Jodie requested some photos of her and the boys before she went home.
Unfortunately, getting all three of them in one shot, smiling and sitting still, is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!  :o)

But I did manage to get a few good ones, just not all together!

The “must have” item?  A Jolly Jumper.
Why?  IT KEEPS KIDS QUIET AND ENTERTAINED, even if they aren’t the kid in it.
Jodie and Cooper are down at the moment for a few days and Cooper was able to finally have a go in the Jolly Jumper.  Jodie is going straight home to get herself one.  Plus [...]

Today, Owen and I have been in NSW for a whole year.
A whole year…..
12 months…
365 days…
Some days/weeks it feels like we have been here forever (well, for a long time anyway) and it really does feel like our home.  These are the good weeks.  The ones where preschool is good, the boys are [...]
