Drawing 'people'

....ain't this just the cutest stage???? Eb has started drawing 'people' and as so many do - there is no body :) Legs and arms come from the head. I love, love, love it!

Off to Sydney to pick up a car

Graham has been looking for another car for a long time - he's really done his research.
This lovely long weekend we headed off to Sydney to pick up the one he's chosen.
First it was the airport and a plane trip (again!). I was really, REALLY apprehensive because it was a tiny plane and a horrible day. But we made it!

Eb filling in some time at the airport - she loves to take the smarties OUT of the biscuit before she eats it!




Taken from our little plane....it wasn't so bad after all :)




I do it myself mummy!


Happy snuggled up with Suixi bear

...and snugly :)


huummmm - it WAS a small plane

last bit of play before we head home

Kai's birthday

Eb's little friend from Kinder - Kai - turned 5 and it was time for another birthday party celebration. This one was extra fun...you'll see why!

all ready to go!


horse rides...yipee!




love this one of Eb and Kai (just off to the left)...


then our little horsey girl transformed into Snow White!


Here's the birthday girl...and her beautiful cake!

Fun times at the lake.....

It was such a spectacular day today. Perfect Autumn weather. Perfect for a bike ride and some snap shots!

My little dancing girl!

We have had some interesting times with dance. Ebony loves it - but because we've been swimming in the morning and then have the hour long trip back out to home for dance she often falls asleep and I have to wake her to change her and get her ready for dance. Needless to say, some times she doesn't want to dance...until the last 10 minutes! then she's fine :)





with one of her 'best friends'....Axel

Mish returns!

Ah - some more fun times with a visit from our dear friend Mish. She occupied Eb for a while doing some cooking. I'm not at all sure who had more fun!







even the damaged one got lots of attention!


We took a day trip to Gapstead Winery - how beautiful is this place! it was a perfect day to sit and sip on a glass of wine and look at the beauty surrounding us.
