On the farm part 3

We get to do all sorts of things together as cousins, like having a bath,

eating


and reading books.

On the farm part 2

I helped Daddy clean up the tennis court

He wasn't even scared of the cows!


Then I got to play on the tennis court with Thomas and Aunty Prue


Look at me go!

On the farm part 1





I am having so much fun down here on the farm with Pop and Hesse. I get to ride around on the motorbike and golf cart and pick avocados. I'm a super helper!

My Uncle Ian and Aunty Sharon

We had a really enjoyable time staying with Uncle Ian and Aunty Sharon on our way down South. Elijah didn't make the picture because he was being grumpy. Maybe he knew that he had a 5 1/2 hr car trip ahead of him.

Check out Lucy's hair!


Kinny and I love our baby girls. Sometimes we swap for a little while.

My little sister




I love it when mummy lets me play with Devery in her cot

She is a bit of a rudie nudie in this picture

Devery loves the swing and I love to push her


I just do little pushes cos she's little

But I think secretly she wishes mummy would let me push her real high!

Reconnecting with an old friend


I had the great pleasure of catching up with my friend Pip last week. We were really good buddies in Primary School in Walpole and even though it had been years since we'd seen each other we just picked up right where we left off. She and her husband Bryce are expecting their first child soon so I gave her plenty of practice with Devery.

Our drive in the countryside

We had a lovely adventure to the Coalseam National Park today. It was pretty spectacular and there were plenty of beautiful wildflowers about. We drove back through Walkaway and saw the windfarm and had a special lunch at Bentwood Olive Grove. We love living in the country and having the opportunity to go for drives like this.




Not much water in this part of the Irwin River!

What little water there was, Elijah was determined to stomp in it!
