Happy Christmas Everyone!

There is so much to catch up on from the last few months but till that re-cap we pray you all have a blessed and safe Christmas with those you love!

May the New Year bring many more wonderful surprises and blessings.

Loads of love from the soon to be 

"HEINY FIVE!"

Smithy "Get-Together!"

Whilst in Toowoomba we organised a "Smith" family catch up since this year is the off Christmas. 
It was great to meet for the weekend and have an early Christmas present exchange and for the children and adults to pick up from where we left off. 
 

What a good looking bunch!

Children waiting patiently for the gift giving.

September Holiday!

This year hasn't seen the school holidays work out as planned but nothing was going to stop us come September. 

Up north we went to Moree and Toowoomba.

 But to try something different, Lets go the outback way!

Poor "Fal"...packed to the brim

It wouldn't be right if there were no rivers/weirs to go see. Murrumbidgee was the first.

First sleep over- Cobar.

Was really spectacular to go to a lookout and view one of the mines in action and the vast land.

Next day and we stopped to admire the Darling River - Bourke

 

Get to Moree and we CRASH.....

Mitch, Nath and Poppy went and did "boys stuff" all the time. Here it was a morning activity to see the XPT Countrylink train leave for Sydney....

Then off to the airport to see the Dash8 flight arrive from Sydney. (Plus l think abit of playing around in the aeroclub.)

In Toowoomba just in time for Carnival of Flowers

Nathan took the three older kids to the Cobb and Co museum for a holiday activity

Uncle of the Year!

Out to dinner at the Jobling local-City Golf Club

Met up with close friends at every opportunity for park plays

Abi and Eva Collins

Cheeky Luca Collins

Uncle Nath off again with tribes of kids.

Back to Moree and back to "man time"

All hands on deck building a fence between Mum and Dads and their lovely neighbour Irene.

This very good looking man surprised me and took me out to dinner.

More pictures to come of the Smithy Get-Together soon!
