We can’t believe it… Katie has just turned 1! Our baby is growing up sooo quickly! On the big day, we had a nice little celebration at home with family, Katie opened lots of presents (with Laura’s help of course) and we all ate lots of cake!
Here are some piccies of the Bell 4 and the birthday girl!

Well, we’re slowly adding the finishing touches. We’ve done a little more painting since our last blog, but still need to enamel the doors and do a few little patch-ups here and there. The main action now is happening outside in the backyard…
Just before Christmas, we decided to borrow a little digger affectionately known as ‘Thomas’ – a skidsteer mini loader (thanks Wendy and Gary)!!!
Thomas has been helping us to level out the backyard, create a little terraced area and of course rip up the compacted track from the front street to the back door where all the trucks came back and forward with building materials! Whilst we had the digger on loan, Laura woke up every day and asked ‘is Daddy going to work in the backyard with Thomas today’ and she was convinced that she needed a purple Thomas to help Daddy’s orange Thomas out!
Once we’d finished levelling the backyard and had removed around about 12 tonnes of dirt and rocks to the tip, we spread some new soil and lay some grass seed. Turns out we did it just in time, we’ve only just had our first dry day in about a month, so the grass is going gang-busters!!!
We’ve also started on a sandpit for the girls, but things are going pretty slowly with all the wet weather.
Early days yet, with lots more work to go but here are a few piccies to let you in on our latest round of devastation!

Well, it started like any normal day. Big people off to work and little people off to daycare.
Later that day though, Jason received a call from daycare. There had been an ‘incident’ with the scissors whilst Laura was doing art and craft… it’s ok, breathe a sigh of relief, nothing serious.
That afternoon when we picked Laura up from daycare, we saw what all the commotion had been about. Turns out Laura’s hair had been getting in her face, so she’d decided to chop a bit off. We figured it might have been a little bit of fringe or perhaps a bit off the back, but she’d actually chopped off a whole big handful (see piccies below)!!! Could have been worse though, she could have decided to cut someone else’s hair… I guess most girls have a bad hair day at some stage, I certainly remember taking the scissors to my mousey brown locks at some stage (I was a little older than 3 though)!!!
Laura told us defiantly that ‘it was getting in my way… but I don’t cut hair anymore, I only cut paper and only hairdressers cut hair’.
The next morning, we were off to hairdressers. The long hair was not salvageable, so Laura’s sporting a sassy new short style (see piccie)! Turns out it really suits her – she’s got a really cute but cheeky look going on and I must admit, it’s much easier to look after 
Hopefully no more bad hair days for a while now…
Until next time,
Chrissy
