The New Room!

So the weekend before Australia day,Nathan decided to take an extra day off and make it a four day long weekend.

Job's needed to be done around the house and most importantly we needed to prepare for our little arrival coming soon and enjoy every minute of what family time we had left just the three of us!

Ma Ma and Pa came across for a couple of night's also to help out and enjoy "Our Echuca" again.(that alway's included a visit to the ice-cream shop and a drive around)

Cot up again and ready to be made

The little helper who with that red stool believe's she can do anything.

But we got it all done and......................

A special room once again

An adorable gift from my sister's in law(or "love" l would prefer to say)

Relle and Laura.

My "JOEY" nappy cake thanks to my big sis Tamara

All these thoughtful gift's to make to room look even better.

Thankyou beautiful girl's!!

The Joy of Lego!

Someone at Christmas was very spoilt and received Lego- that's right Nathan.

It was very exciting for both Lexie and Nathan to pop the box and begin the creation.

Finishing touches.....

Tada!

Little Swimmer!

For the past few week's we have been going to the local swimming pool on a Thursday after Nathan finishes work.

It's good for all as Nath get's to swim his lap's, l get to "whale" myself in the water and Lexie get's a play.

You have to "look" the part when going for a swim

Same quick stretches before the big dive

Ready to go!

(Just a shame that Lexie refuse's to go under the water)

Baby Joey!

On the home stretch now for the arrival of Baby Joey.20days.

Progress is still running smoothly and l'm handling the heat,well Nathan and Lexie are sometime's rugged up but as long as their is a cool breeze around l'm fine.

36weeks

Day on the Murray!

A few weeks ago we spent a Sunny Saturday out on the river.

Friend's had a boat so some skiing and knee boarding was done but about from that it was just bliss sitting in the water and relaxing watching the day cruise by.

Lexie the water rat of the day

More Christmas Fun!

So alot happened here during December and Christmas.

So to add to the previous blog, l thought l would show you more.

We did our best to take every moment in and always have a laugh and with children around that is not hard to do.

Enjoy our daily activities!!

Alyce arrived first and it didn't take long for Lexie to be her shadow

A week later Tamara and Lindsay, Nathan and Anna plus offspring arrived and it was bring it on!

It was great as we found a massive park where children could unwind.

Ryan enjoying being out of the car now

lsaac the cutie

Fatty and skinny

Sharing the cooking and relaxing together during child down-time was great

Joining the children in the pool sometimes required an "Ale"

Morning tea time was alway's a way of time outside

Zachary

Just pondering the last 20mths of his life."Hmmmmm"

Down by the banks of the Murray after pizza in the park

Tamara was great in that she know all the tricks of the trade to keep children entertained.

l know having a director of child care around would be handy.

You still have it Tams!!

Playtime in the bucket,a quiet place for Miss Lex

Waiting patiently for the arrival of Nanny and Poppy

Zachy and Isaac played very well together,
