Gran and Xanders Birthday

Its been a while since the last post and I am struggling to remember most of what happened however there were a few milestones. Gran had her 70th birthday and had a party down at Cath and Hughs for all the family. It was a great affair and fun was had by all......

Here are some snaps.

On the 19th Xander had his 5th birthday and his first visit to his new school. His interview went very well and he impressed with his sentence making skills. He is having a party on Saturday so Gran came over for tea and a home made cake. Photos to come

Milestones

Nate has reached a couple of milestones the last day or so.

1. He can now crawl, not the commando shuffle he has been using for the last few weeks, but a proper all fours crawl. You can't take your eyes off him for more than a second or he's gone.

2. He is obviously realising his arms and legs are there for a purpose and is now clapping and waving , mostly at the dinner table.

3. Lastly, young Nathaniel has perfected his Darth Vadar impression. He decided to show us the other night at 3am. His chest is very heavy and he has a nasty cough to go with it. Sleep is over rated. I was reminded of Sam taking Cammy for a drive at some silly hour as I fired up the car at 5am to get some quiet and give Dette some sleep.

Foggy weather

Its been cold and foggy here in the mornings and then sunning up for lovely days. Thought id post a photo I found in the paper.

Day out in the City

The family had a day out at Bunarong Mirr, which is alongside the Yarra in Melbourne. The Ferris Wheel is the temporary one until the Melbourne Eye is completed. I have promised myself we would go for ages so off we went. Dette isn't a fan of the big wheel but the children enjoyed the views.

The walk along the river is lined with art works and a great kids playground. We also had a coffee and were told when we went to pay that is was voluntary and a donation is all that is required. Bugger, only have a ten dollar bill, should have asked for some cake too....After a stroll to Federation Square, and really cool robot man and rubbish juggler, we had some lunch. Then back down to the car for the huge jumping thingys. A chance to be sick over a large number of people. Amelia enjoyed a classic carousel for a more sedate and civilised ride.

We found one!!!!

Went to town today to pick something up and thought i'd buy a second controller for the Wii. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a white and green box. I picked it up and it was heavy, behold it was a Wii Fit, complete and for sale (cheap too)

So weve been running and balancing all evening. Also got Wii Play, great game.
