Scrubbing up

It seemed the easiest option after the hand printing was over....and what's more it entertained them for at least another 30 mins!
Check out Elve's wild locks! Her hair is so thick and crazy now.

hand printing

Yesterday afternoon we had a 'preggy party' - different to a baby shower as it wasn't a girl's only event, there were no presents or dorky games - just a bit of fun to celebrate the soon arrival of our bub.
After most people had left, the kids (Elvie, Jake and Ruby) enjoyed getting their hands dirty together.

a 'pick me up' for mummy

Isn't she sweet? A flower, candle and medicine for poor mummy who has been feeling very yucky from the naughty baby inside the house in her tummy.

going home after the show

Elvie loved the show - however she was MUCH more excited by the real trains that ran under the bridge we walked over to get to our car at the MCG.

Thomas & Friends Live Stage Show

Elvie and I went to see the Thomas show today

Entertaining Billy

Elvie enjoyed playing with Billy today and he enjoyed her company - gooing and gahing and smiling at her...
She passed him toys and entertained him for about 30 mins while he happily sat in the exersaucer.

"Look at this one, Billy"

Billy Cart

Jussy's birthday

Can't believe this is the only record of my birthday...
We had pancakes for breakfast with Sharny and David and Rachel, followed by a great church service, then lunch in the park (which was more than just cake!) with more friends. Phil organised a few surprises for me and made me feel really special. Lots of people called - including Lyndon from USA, which was totally unexpected. Thanks everyone!

"can i have billy in my hands?"

Elvie is obsessed with Billy. Well babies in general but most of all, Billy because we see him so often. She just loves nursing him and is always asking for a cuddle. Billy is pretty good natured about it most of the time but lately he has started to cry every time she holds him.
