HAPPY CHRISTMAS 2006!

Jubilee Family Fun Day!

Our childrens wonderful school had their Family Fun Day today. We arrived at 10am to see Ashleigh and her friends do a wonderful dance for us! Then Ashleigh & James had lots of fun on all the rides, got show bags, and even Mum and Aunty Penny did face painting for some other children. It was a great day!

End of Soccer Term

Today was the end of soccer for this term. Even though it was kind of wet, everyone played and had fun. James received a lovely medal for his efforts! Well done James! We can't wait for next term to start after the school holidays.

Happy Father's Day - Happy Birthday!

Sunday 3rd September 2006 was Father's Day and Mum's 30th Birthday! Poor dad he has to share his special day with mum every so often :) We spent the day at Seaworld to celebrate and then had dinner with family and friends at Hollywood Plaza Tavern. Dad got a wonderful tie from Ashleigh and some yummy fudge from James for Fathers Day. Mum got vouchers and money and was very spoiled with an overlocker! Thank you sooooo much!!!

James Starts Soccer.

James had his first game of soccer this morning. He had a great time playing in the green team and they scored 3 goals to nil. It is just mini soccer and so not too competitive, really just getting to know the game. We took some photos in to show dad who is in hospital with a chest infection at the moment. We miss him at home and hope he's home soon.

bouncy fun!!!

John is growing up so fast! He's now 7kg and in size '00' clothes and only 15 weeks old! Today he enjoyed the jolly jumper for the first time.

School Sports Day

James & Ashleigh had their school sports day on Friday 4th August, 2006. They both ran very well and had fun even though they didn't win a ribbon and even Mum ran in the Year 7/Parent/Teacher relay race! The parents came 2nd behind the year 7's. Not a bad effort! It was a great day.

John is baptised!

On Sunday 9th July, 2006 during the 8am service, John was baptised. There were many family members, friends and the church family there to witness this special event. John's Godparents Adam & Vikki were very proud.

John is 2 months.

This is John at 2 months. He really loves bath time!

It's easy to Forget.

John's actual first smile was on Mother's Day, but this is his first recorded smile!

John is born!

On ANZAC Day, Tuesday 25th April, 2006 the fifth member of our family arrived weighing 3620 grams (7lbs, 15oz) and 53cm long. John was born at 3:16am after just 3 hours of labour and only 45 minutes of that spent in the hospital! It wasn't without complications, as poor little John tried to strangle himself with his cord and subsequently spent 12 hours in special care. John arrived on his late great- grandfather's birthday and so shares his name.

Welcome to our world!

We have 3 beautiful children in our lives. Ashleigh our eldest is 6.5 years, James is 5 and our newest addition to the family, John, is 7 weeks old!
