Airport adventures

Playing with a little Japanese friend at Narita airport




This was my favourite part of the journey!


We found a little corner to sleep in and the kids slept for 2-3 hours!



Even Tyler got a bit of sleep




Elijah loved watching all the tarmac action


The Narita airport playroom was a big hit

This is at Perth aiport before we left. Elijah was very excited!

Christmas with the Malcolms

Dressing up for a wedding

We stayed at Uncle Ian and Aunty Sharon's house on the weekend so that we could go to Kate and Paul's wedding. Elijah was such a good boy while we were at the reception. He played happily and then went to bed without a fuss. Yay!


Here's our family all dressed up for the wedding service.


Mummy even had a new dress!


Here's Kate and Paul having a kiss while they cut the cake.


Pop and Devery watching the proceedings.

Devery had some very friendly company when she stayed at Henriette's house the other morning.

Matt and Nelly

We really enjoyed a visit from Matt and Narelle, even though they were a bit smelly after camping in Exmouth! (Just kidding Nelly! You smelled beautiful!) This is them with the kids, after a shower.


Elijah is excellent at building towers with his new blocks. (Thanks Thomas!)


Here's Devery trying rice cereal for the first time. She's not too sure.


Devery and Sam have a play



This is our friend Margaret Richards with her gorgeous boy Sam, and Devery.


Did he just touch me?



Farewell Pip, Rusty, Thomas and Ella

Down at the park in Maylands




The look-alike cousins























I got to take these two gorgeous cousins out for a last babycino before Thomas left Australia. It was such a special time! We all felt very grown up.
