What a great weekend

Another busy weekend with lots of fun and activities with the highlight being a stay over at Granfers for the big boys and dad.

We had a boys day out with a visit to the local motocross track and then a visit to the beach. Nathaniel stayed at home with the girls and was a good boy. He is growing quickly and starting to get into a routine.

Uncle Sam , I have an ipoddy.

Marshall is the king of the swingers ..yeah.

Clean as a whistle. Back in my day i'd have jumped that.

WOTW

Sorry mum, War of the Worlds was fantastic. Tonight was also the first semi final for the footy and there were 100,000 at the MCG so we had tea at Petes and then off early.

The show was at Rod Laver arena and it was a sellout so the atmos was really good. When the first bars started it was just like listening to the CD and then the drums and guitars kicked in. I had a big smile on my face for the rest of the show. I reserved a big grin for Shannon NOLL as Nathaniel and sung along with gusto, NO NATHANIEL NO. Dad, Fraser and Pete also really enjoyed it and whilst it was quite long it seemed to fly by for me.

Here is a clip of the Nathaniel song. Not as good as Shannon Noll who was a standout performer (he came runner up in Australian Idol a few years ago)

Nathaniel was weighed again today and is now 7 pound six (3340) and doing really well. Everybody is settling in to the routine with a new baby in the house.

Heres Nate having a coo.



The Amigos have been out with dad a bit to get mum some peace. Here they are at the local shops.



Happy 8th birthday Cammy!

Sleep in

Well Nathaniel is now 11 days old and we had a milestone. Last night he slept from 10pm to 8.45am. WOW - we had to wake him up in the end for a feed. Unfortunately mum and dad stayed up till 1.30 watching The Bourne Ultimatum but never mind. What a good boy.

Dette is still going through some nesting and we are having the whole house steam cleaned today whilst the Amigos are at school.

I am starting a competition for the best new name for the blog. Here is a few to start with

The four musketeers
MANX (Marshall Amelia Nate Xander)

Weigh in

Nathaniel had his first visit from the Maternal and Child healthcare today. It was a general look over and weigh in and the result is

six pounds twelve.

Which means he has been putting on weight nicely. He has had a smashing day at home with Amelia whilst Xander and Marshall had a play over at their mates, Mitchell's.
