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.

Sarah's 6th Birthday

Eb's friend Sarah turned six and it was time for a fun birthday celebration....especially when it came to 'pass the parcel'!






...and, of course, the birthday girl!

Then Pa and Nana arrived....

Boy - we've certainly had our fair share of guests! These ones are extra special though :)

Kayla's visit before heading home....

We had Kayla come for a play before Ric and Nicole and Jordan headed home....the girls sure had some fun together!

King Valley again....

This time with friends from our Church. We really didn't do a lot this weekend - just chilled around the farm. We did go out once or twice to look at the King River in flood and visit a winery for me to buy some stock for the B&B.

Fun at the winery....


always dancing or singing!


some fun around the farm....




The King River showing how it's more than doubled in width...


Looking toward the temporary bridge from the original (presently unusable) bridge...


Then from the temporary bridge back to the original bridge...


Eb having fun with the 'hand reared' cows...


...and very proud of herself at that!

Some more face painting by mummy...

Easter 2010

Well - it was a bit like days of old! We had our dear friends Ric and Nicole come with their children Kayla and Jordan....and one on the way! and they had their friends come too. It was such a fun time and Eb had a ball as usual!

First it was drawing with Kayla...


Then, on the Saturday, I had my darling 'blogger' friend Chel and her family in Mt Beauty, so finally - after about 4 years of blogging together, we got to meet face to face. I, of course, was not in the least disappointed. What a gorgeous family - how I wished Broken Hill were just a tad closer! (we also got some face painting done down at the local market!)







Then it was Easter Sunday and the Easter Bunny had been! how amazing :)














Eb and Kayla heading off for a walk together...too cute!


then it was time for the land of nod...after a big day of egg gathering....and eating!


Easter Monday dawned so beautifully - as you'll see




Then it was our last morning....and time for some breakfast with her helmet on!


and some fun girls time! we've had a ball....

This rarely happens let me tell you

Eb was happily playing away - but things went a bit quiet. I went in to check on her and this is what I found....






I was amazed and took time to just watch my little sleepy girl sleep. One of the most precious joys of motherhood I say :)
