Who's been stealing my strawberries??

A little possum....






and to think, I thought it was a REAL possum !! Even the green strawberries disappeared so i guess that's it for strawberry season :(

And here's some photos cos i'm playing with my new camera and for once can catch a photo of Jesse that's not totally blurry!!

somewhere new.

From now on I have changed blogs to protect our anonymity a little more. I'm learning off you seasoned bloggers and trying to be a little more internet savvy! So from now on I'll be blogging over here .
Hopefully I'll get my camera sorted soon. (I upgraded my computer only to find that my camera is the only one of its brand that does not work with Vista. GRRRRR)
Cheers,
Christy (now a happy gardener!)

where did the time go?

It's been 8 weeks since I last posted. I honestly don't know where the time went! We've had very busy times with lots of interstate visitors, school productions, kinder do's, birthdays (mine!) and the usual business with Kieren travelling each week. I feel like I am just getting through each day ...and just making it to the next with everything that needs to be done with 4 children under 7! I've been trying to get some time out for me too...starting with Pilates to try and get fit again!!

On the upside I have just had rain water tanks installed - and a vegie garden planted as well as propogating herbs. I'm really enjoying the gardening...a great outlet after being cooped up all winter :)

Tessa Jade is a beautiful little sweet pea... Jesse has nicknamed her Tess-Tess which is oh so cute. She is a delightful baby. Very content and a good sleeper. She's becoming quite the chatterbox - guess she'll have to learn quickly to compete with the other kiddlywinks!

Jesse is at his accident-prone stage. He is so daring and has suffered for it recently!! His first big fall was down the back steps cos he was ABSOLUTELY determined that his bike MUSt go UP the steps with him even though mum and dad were telling him not to - hopefully he has learned his lesson - that he should listen to his parents! Anyway....the bruise is going down. The girls got sick of holding the ice pack on and so ingeniously rigged up their hairband to hold it on! Good effort!

Ellie has started singing with the Victorian Girls Choir and is absolutely loving it! We are looking forward to seeing her perform for the first time very shortly. Abbey is looking forward to school next year and is really enjoying the transition program once a week. Wow! 2 girls in school next year....amazing....

Well that about sums up life for us at the moment. Till next time (and hoping its not so long between posts!)

6 weeks




Tessa

He's a REAL boy now.









This little boy has become a real boy. Not just a toddler anymore. He's found his lungs and words. Loves his trucks the best. And his book about trucks or buses. Does the dinosaur stomp with appropriately scary faces. Has to carry a ball to school like the big boys. That's a full size basketball too. And loves hugs with his Mum. Big bear hugs that is. AND he had his first crew cut on Monday. Yep. Definitely a real boy now :)

My 2 week old princess..



I can't believe my little princess is 2 weeks old already! Time just flies when you have a newborn baby... She has her first cold this week - care of her brother and sisters. I guess her immune system will be the envy of her class when she finally gets to school! She is such a placid baby and a very good feeder - which is exactly what I prayed for !

Enjoy the photos - I' m trying hard to remember to snap away but I'm afraid she may not have as many photos as the other children... just as well I'm making up for it with cuddles!
