Laura Turns 2!

Well Everyone!

We can’t believe it, but our little lady has just turned 2!

It’s time for potty training, big beds and plenty of tantrums! Laura’s becoming very independent these days and is coming out with all sort of little person treasures – like ‘stay back, very very dangerous’ (in response to Jason and my efforts to put her bed together), ‘Mummy too big, need new pants’ (as I attempted to pack my bag for another work trip and my normal clothes fail to accommodate my exanding waistline), ‘Tyger come here, Tyger sit’ (directions to the dog) and in response to what’s your name ‘Laura Bell… happy birthday to me’.

She’s certainly taking it all in and it’s amazing what she comes out with at times!!!

We celebrated with a lovely quiet day – the morning at the gardens and zoo with Nanna, the afternoon at home and a nice dinner with Ma and Pa. We also had a great party with all her little friends over the weekend and all the kids enjoyed the jumping castle and playing in the coloured balls. The little Princess has been spoilt rotten and has lapped it all up! Thanks to everyone for sharing this special occasion with us and for all your wonderful birthday wishes!
Here are some piccies…

Farm Excursion

Laura’s also had another visit to the farm recently. Nanna took her along for a little ‘excursion’ and the two of them had a great time…

Laura saw a cow being milked, patted a goat, watched a chicken laying eggs, rode a pony and saw lots of other farm animals. She had a wonderful time and especially liked the pony and the feeding the goats… she’s been singing ‘Old McDonald’ ever since!

Anyway, here’s the best bit, a few piccies thanks to Nanna!

Father’s Day

Hi Everyone!

It’s been a while since we last ‘blogged’, so there’s lots to talk about!

Father’s Day this year was wonderful… In the morning, we all had a sleep in and then spent some quality time with family. Laura enjoyed handing out the presents (and helping to unwrap them of course). We then had a nice lunch and a nap. In the afternoon we went for a drive to the beach. Jason and Laura enjoyed collecting shells, building (and demolishing) sand castles and also getting wet in the waves. We then had some dinner and icecream and returned home.

Here’s a few piccies of our day.
