Spur of the moment success

Sunday morning I suggested we go for a drive, pick up morning tea at the Dayboro Bakery and find somewhere nice to enjoy our morning tea and the lovely weather. 
After selecting a few nice things from the very good, great, bestest bakery (do you think you should go for a trip, just to try it out?!  I think [...]

Non Mother’s day 2010

My sister is a florist.  You can imagine the hours she worked the week building up to, and on Mother’s Day.  Crazy, crazy hours!  Mother’s Day is bigger than Valentine’s Day in the Florist’s Calendar.  If one exists.  I don’t think it does.  I’m sure I could Google it and find out… 
 
Anyway, instead of trying to fit [...]

When Jodie and Cooper come to play

Since we have been back in Brisbane, my little sister and nephew usually come over to play once a week.  Today was this weeks play day!  Just imagine this… 3 boofy boys, 1 baby and 2 loud sisters… It makes for a fun, yet chaotic day! 

Ella Rose!

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

The stats on Ella:

born at 9:55pm.
weight: 7lb 10oz, or 3465 grams
length: 52cm
head circumference: 35cm

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 [...]

Cooper’s 1st Birthday Party!

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 [...]

Getting sorted. Sort of…

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. [...]

Our weekend, including Father’s Day

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

Owen mucking around while we made pancakes for Saturday’s breakfast.

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

Weekend away

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 [...]

A pre-party package

Auntie Jode was very thoughtful and sent Owen a parcel full of party things to help celebrate his upcoming 4th birthday…

And here is the letter, a little closer so you can read it…
I’m sure we will make good use of all the party gear while Jenny and Nana are visiting.
Thanks heaps Auntie Jode!
(And Uncle Mick [...]

At Jodie’s request…

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!
