Fun Times

Mia had a great time today playing with her Nan (Shortt), she loves it when Nan comes to play, so many fun times, so much attention, so much love, so many SMILES. We don't tell Nan often enough just how much we appreciate it, how thankful we are, I think Mia tells her though, in her big smiles & loads of cuddles & giggles that she has just for Nan.

...Walking...

Wow, our baby girl is walking, it's so amazing, they grow up way to fast, she's been taking steps for about 2 weeks, but she walked across the room last week & now there's no stopping her! She still pulls herself up on things to get started but it wont be long & she wont even need to do that, so independent, so scary, doesn't seem as though she needs her mummy as much any more, her mummy sure still needs her though!! That feeling of love you get from your child, amazing, so warm & tender & unconditional!!

SUNSHINE, YAY!

I thought we would make the most of the little sunshine that we have been having lately & take Mia & the dogs to the park, we had a great time throwing the ball for Roxi & Lexi & playing on the swings & slide. Mia has just started trying to walk, her balance is getting really good. As a mum I just can't get enough of that "I'm SO happy right now, this is SO exciting" smile that Mia get's whenever she is flying (that's swinging for us adults)

Clothes that last generations

We've had a lovely morning, just chillin on the floor in the lounge playing with our bub. A couple of weeks ago we received a dressing gown that Shortty wore when he was a bub & as this morning has been particularly chilly Mia got to wear it for the 1st time. It's pretty special i think being able to hand things down not just from siblings but from generation to generation, it goes to prove nothing beats a good woolen dressing gown! (even 22 years after it was originally made)

Kissin Cousins

We had a great day today just chillin with Dom & Joshua, it's been too long, we will try to make it much sooner between visits this time. I love the conversations Dom & I hold, she understands me, my faith, my frustrations, we appear so different, yet i believe we are so similar. We can talk about our dreams with out fear of judgement or ridicule, we get excited as we chat about our hopes for the future, our hopes to see Gods plan fullfilled in our lives. I truely believe God has placed Dom in our lives for a reason!

Forever Ours

After a horrible experience on the weekend our beautiful dogs will never leave our family again. They are such beautiful souls who love the 3 of us without boundaries or grudges, we could not ask for better dogs. And our precious babe loves them too, she is forever trying to give them kisses & cuddles, they put up with so much!

My Day

What a beautiful day I had today, I was really spoilt by my wonderful husband. I woke up to bacon & eggs for breakfast, yummy yummy. Then we slowly got ready for a day out (to where was a surprise for me), no rushing or having to be anywhere 'on time', it was lovely. So we finally piled into the car and headed off. We ended up at "The Enchanted Garden" a beautiful garden/maze at Arthurs Seat. The weather was not great but we didn't care, we got rugged up & wandered through the gardens & mazes. Mia loved riding on her daddy's shoulders in the maze. There was also amazing sculptures & carvings throughout the gardens. We had a great time. Before we left "The Enchanted Garden" we had a deliciously warm warm hot chocolate, Mia loved the froth! After we left "The Enchanted Garden" we stopped off at Arthurs Seat State Park and strolled around the Seawinds Garden & had a kick of the footy. I could not have asked for a better present than what I got, a lovely day out with my family & no cooking or cleaning, woohoo! Thanks Babe!!
