More Surprise Guest's!

So after a sad goodbye to Karlee and Sarah, my day was quickly turned around by joy with a "tap tap" at the door and my very dear Dad standing waiting. And just when l had wiped the tears away and calmed down,around the corner jumped my older sister Tamara from QLD asking if l could handle another surprise, WOW! what could l say....nothing....tears yet again.

Poppy's first hold of his new little grand-matey!

Bed time cuddle's

Aunty Tam's being the thoughtful person she is had organised a parcel for Lexie. Something that would include her in the "mothering" of a new one

Lexie's new little girl-Ally Olivia

Thanks Aunty Tam's

So l thought the idea was to come and help us out but the oldie's thought breakfast in bed was a nicer idea.hahaha

So Dad and Tam were only here for a few day's so we made the most of all the time and sunny weather.

Poppy had some water bombs for Lexie(not best idea) but it was great fun to take them with us to the park and smash around

Lexie didn't realise that you don't throw them down in front of you, puddles and wet pant's,oh well

You couldn't keep Tam away for long,her efforts on taking the long trip was amazing but cuddle's with her newest nephew was worth it l think.

Both Ryan and Zachary have worn the same outfit, thumbs up to it from Mitchell

Tam a pro at bathing little boy's,covering the "bits"

Well another day and another lot of activities to do. Play dough time.See Lexie has control of the flour mmmm not good

Finished products. That's a choc biscuit not the play dough she is eating

Next painting

Then chalk drawing. This is one of her life like drawing's.A sad person,gee scary

Afternoon tea was always sweet bun

We were lucky if mum shared it with us...hahaha

Mighty Mitchell none the wiser just kicking back and relaxing

Dessert was Mum's apricot and peach crumble,

mmmmm yumo

mmmmm brocolli for Lexie

then crumble

Nathan alway's eat's his food as if it is going to run away so he just sit's back and wait's oh so patiently most night's

A very "drunk" little fella

Picnic's in the park were too nice not to do on weekend's

And then there were four!

Thanks Mum!

A mother's love is a treasured emotion, and the blessing of having mum come for 3wks was a real help and muchly appreciated. Sorry mum if l made you do "too much" washing before 10am (hahaha,if you know Mum then you know that the washing machine is "humming" by at least 9:30am every morning rain, hail or shine,the secret is you watch the weather like a hawk!) Your support and reassurance was needed and we hope to see you again soon!!

Big kiss kiss hug hug from Lekkie and Mitchell dearest. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwah!

Surprise Visitor's!

So on the Labour day holiday,we thought why not all get in and make some scone's. Little did l know that we were going to be having visitor's to share them with!!!

With scone's in the oven and cream being whipped,l get an announcement from Lexie that "Karlee and Sarah are here Mummy!"

These very dear girl's had gotten up at 1:30am in Toowoomba,drove to Brisbane to catch a flight to Melbourne,then hired a car to drive to Echuca,all to spent 24hrs with us.My reaction was well.....you can all imagine...tear's! They truly are gem's,and the time spent together was fantastic.It was also great that Sarah and l could introduce our new precious little bundle's to eachother............

8week old Eva Grace Collins

In the afternoon we took them out and about in Echuca to show them the site's, (quick trip really) Nathan was our gal pal too for the day

We stopped beside the Murray River for some picture's (or was that for Karlee to take a leak)

The river queen. Next stop,Australia's Greatest Bakery-Beechworth Bakery,for a hot choc!

mmmmmmmmmmmm

yeaaaaaaaah

Eva and Mitchell getting to know eachother. Karlee think's maybe the next Mr and Mrs Heinrich

The three pea's

Sarah and l swapped our bub's for a quick pic

Next morning it was paparazzi time, Mitchell making face's

"Smile Kiddies"

Mitchell-"Hey how you doin?"

Eva- "Take that in the face boy,don't touch my butt"

Mitchell- "How about we ditch this crib and get out of here, on my count"

"GO!"

Eva-"Bummer they got us", Mitchell- "And l'm in tights"

Thankyou from the bottom of our heart's lovely ladies for making such an effort to see us. Thankyou also to Chloe,Mali,Nato,Jimmy and Abi for sharing them with us. The good time's we had, we will remember alway's. Echuca is a better place now you have visited!!! I

Cherubs!

Just a couple of picture's of our little cherub's. More to come soon

lm not sure how pleased Mitchell was of me taking his picture and disturbing him

Ready to punch l think

Daddy's Birthday!

Back on the 26th Feb,the more mature man of the house celebrated a birthday. lt was abit extra special for Nathan with Mitchell being around this time and his mum able to make such a yummy meal and dessert for him. Thankyou Ma Ma.

"One for me ,one for you"

Enjoying her finished product

Some Visitor's!

So we were blessed to have Ma Ma stick around for abit long during the week to lend a helping hand. Whilst her stay Aunty Laura and Toby popped over for a couple of night's to meet the newest member,Mitchell.

With our home grown pumpkin's we have ALOT of pumpkin soup made, Toby was keen to try it without it being cooked.A turned up nose followed quickly after.

Lexie loved having Aunty Laura around and sat so still whilst she did her hair just beautifully.

Well done!

On the Wednesday Laura celebrated a birthday and after a hard day shopping she deserved a lovely roast dinner with butterfly cakes!(Poor possum had to sing Happy Birthday to herself though)

Oh cute!

Typical! Thankyou so much for your help Ma Ma and thankyou for visiting Lou and Tobs, We love you and can't wait to see you all again soon!
