Observations of us
We recently took a quick trip to Somerset Dam to see Uncle Phil. Andrew and Uncle Phil took Ben for a ride on the jetski. He was a little timid at first but soon warmed up to the idea. It was late 2008 when he had his last ride on it. He still has not grown into the life jacket…. maybe next time. This is a gorgeous picture of the three boys.
Uncle Brett and Aunty Andy came to stay for Ben’s third birthday. Uncle Brett soon became Ben’s new best friend…… mmmmm I wonder why? It has been fabulous to have Brett and Andy home!
Mum and Dad have recently bought a house in Ipswich. They have been living with us waiting for settlement and then while it gets painted. Ben is just in heaven. Two more people to play with. He adores tickles from Grandad and loves to play in Gramma’s room. Gramma even has Ben using cutlery himself and getting his hair dryed with the hairdryer. Two things that seemed impossible previous to their stay. Andrew and I are even getting used to having Mum and Dad stay……. Ben wakes Gramma in the morning and lets us sleep in – sooooooo loving that!!!
Andrew, Ben and I are overjoyed at the arrival of Baby Evie. Al and Claire’s little bundle arrived into the world late Tuesday morning. When Ben heard the news he threw his hands in the air in excitement and said ‘She’s here, she’s here, my sister’s here’. He is a little confused!! We have been so upset that we have not been able to go for cuddle because of sniffles and tummy bugs. But we send this message hoping it makes up for it. Ben, Gramma and I made this master piece today!! Congratulations Al, Claire and Hugo and KISSES for Evie xxxx.
Ben received a story in the mail this week from his cousin Tom. It is spectacular!! We all really loved it…..especially Uncle Andrew. Thanks Tom you are a STAR!!!
