goodbye aunty kelly

Bye Aunty Kelly, we will miss you, Have fun in Canada.
I can't believe I haven't posted for so long, suffering morning sickness and excessive tiredness left me less than motivated for anything much. Fortunately its gone and mornings aren't so painful anymore. Had the first scan and all is well. A couple of weeks and we will have another scan and know the sex, can't wait.

busy, its spring

Last Thursday was my birthday, officially mid thirties, and the exciting news, Im pregnant! a little brother or sister for Mack, we are so excited.
We have been to the rainforest gardens in Mt cotton, the spring fair in cleveland, barefoot bowling with all the inlaws just to name a few things. Kelly, my sister inlaw is leaving us to embark on a year long working holiday in Canada, Im thrilled for her but at the same time we will all miss her.

roma holidays

We went to Roma for a holiday and stayed with my parents. After a day trip to Surat I begged my dad to stop so I could take some photos on the magnificently red dirt road. Mack thoroughly enjoyed playing in the dirt.

spring

Its spring! Ive been gardening, well I use the term loosely as I only have pots, but Ive sown seeds and they have sprouted with all their luminous green beauty and Ive potted flowers, herbs, ferns and all successfully. A rose was the only casualty, but I guess when you buy it on special for only $4. it is a gamble. My computer has been broken and is still a bit dodgy, hence the long break between blogs. We have also been on a holiday to Roma and it was really nice, I sometimes really want to move back there and raise my family but alas husbands job requires us living in or very near a city. I'm still dreaming of our country cottage, it will happen some day.

too much fun

My parents have been staying with us for 1 week and we have had a ball, Mack especially got spoiled by grandma and grandad. They took us to seaworld, a really great day, Mack had his picture taken with elmo and cookie monster (his Favourites) and afterwards watched the sesame st show. we saw the polar bears(my mums favourite), the sharks(my favourite) and had a quick visit with my cousin who has the best job, a diver at seaworld.
Ive been potting some plants and am absolutely loving them, who knows I might become a gardener.

first birthday party

Mat and I made some of the decorations, the happy birthday bunting and colourful paper chain.
some of our wonderful family, it was very nice and cosy, the best kind of party I think.
my first novelty birthday cake, a truck of course, I'm so proud of myself.
Mummy and daddy gave Mack a mack truck naturally, he is a bit little to play with it yet though.

It was my first children's birthday party, and it was really fun, not as stressful as I thought it would be. Just close family, Mack was very spoiled and had a terriffic time,lots of great presents and eating lots of junk food, oh well your only 1 once. I baked a lot of food and am pleased to report that there was hardly any leftovers. My little baby is 1....yikes!
