Here it is!

A nice 'entry level machine', according to the sales woman. Now to work out how to start her up! I think I'll name her Bessie. Ooo i even have a few complimentary lessons so I should be an expert in no time...right??

Weekend stuff

We have been busy this weekend looking after our nephews! That busy I forgot to take photos!! Oops! A good time was had by all! Owen loved playing with the big boys.

This afternoon we went to the first birthday of Isaac, he is the first baby in our mothers group to turn one! There are many more to come....not that I am expecting to be invited to them all....

Off to see Kaleb

On Thursday we ventured down the freeway to visit Jacinda and Kaleb! We spent nearly the entire day there! The weather was terrible but the boys both had decent naps and Jacinda and I got to have a nice chat! I like hanging out with Jacinda, she is a very calm person...and I always feel very chilled after a chat with her! She is also a teacher and sometimes it's nice to talk school...

More Swimming

This time we headed down to the bay. A good time was had by all! Check out the pics...

Me sew? Why not!

I have made the decision that I am going to become a sewer! I am really quite excited! I've never really had a real hobby before! So before I go out and buy the best sewing machine on the market, I will borrow my friend Bec's machine and see if this sewing caper is actually as good as I think it will be. The reason why I have picked sewing is all the beautiful handmade kids clothes and accessories that you can make! And there is some really beautiful fabric you can buy fairly cheaply!! So here goes..........

Daddy moments

Dave is the chief bather in this house! Just about every night of Owen's life he has made it home in time to bath Owen and give him his bedtime bottle. Every night, after Owen drinks his milk, Owen will lie in Dave's arms and stare into his eyes! It is a very beautiful moment between father and son!

A new sand pit!

An early Christmas present! Owen loves it! And so does his little mates!! The other little boy is Theo! His mum is Bec. We lived nextdoor to each other for 6 months. But more on Bec and Theo later!
