Amelia's 3rd Birthday

Amelia had her third birthday on Saturday and we all got up pretty early to open her presents, a mixture of pretty clothes, barbie and care bears. She seemed okay and was being very sweet in thanking her brothers for their gifts.

Keeley wasn't all that fussed by the excitement and slept through it all.

Only a few minutes later though and Amelia was being sick and looking and feeling terrible. She was back asleep on mum and dads bed by 9am and missed swimming, ( she must have been unwell).

A visit from Grandma and Grandfa and a movie, (Momma Mia pops!) and she was feeling much better. Her Superwoman outfit was a hit and now she can join in with the others.The next day was the official party and a small gathering of cousins and her bestie from Pelican , Lilly arrived. Dette once again excelled with the cake, which doubled as a barbie gift later!!!!

She had a smashing day and we got to spend most of it outside as the weather obliged. So happy birthday Amelia and thanks from her to everyone for their gifts and thoughts.

I thought i might take advantage of the posting and upload some pictures from the past month or so. I am Australian, as the song goes.

I took the oath last month and am now fair dinkum. The whole family got dresses up and saw me pledge my allegiance. I was quite moved to be honest.This is Marshall and his friend Asstha on the way to the Aquarium for a excursion from Pelican. He had a great day and was fantastic looking after his buddy, however one of his other friends wasn't so kind and hit him on the head with a spade.
And finally , just cos, are some random cute photos, mostly of Keeley by request.
