New Church Clothes

Felix recently acquired some new church clothes.  

He can't get dressed fast enough every Sunday morning.  

Felix's Athletics Carnival

Felix recently had his school athletics carnival.  

Featured here is Felix doing the Teddy Bear race and the partner race.

Last year he was too shy to run, but this year, as you can tell by his face, he loved it and was dead set on winning each race.  He came 2nd in two races and 1st in the partner race.

First Day of School

2014 school year starting and these are my gorgeous kids in their school uniforms.  

They all look so grown up - Gus is in Grade 9, Tilly starting high school in Grade 7 and Felix in Prep.

How time flies by ...

Water Fights

And here are all the water fighters!  Armed and dangerous.

4WD with Grandpa

Surfing the waves

Kayaking at Bicheno

Last summer holidays we were in Bicheno and we had lots of fun kayaking in the bay.  

Gorgeous weather and picturesque town.

Felix's Robot

Felix came home from school the other day with his "Robot".  

Sunrise

As it's winter now, we are all up before the sun.  The other morning we saw the most stunning sunrise we have ever seen.  We all stopped to take these amazing photos.  Kids were awestruck. 

Gus playing soccer

Gus has loved playing soccer again.  He is on an all boys team from the Deloraine area.  

So far they are unbeaten!!!  Some of the weekly scores have been 8 - nil.

Hope they continue their winning streak!

Felix learning to ride his bike

A few weeks ago, we took off the training wheels and Felix was riding in no time at all.

 He absolutely loves it and rides everywhere.  Now he's doing "skids" as well (such a boy!).

Curlie the Pig

We took delivery a month or so ago of Curlie. 

She is adorable and has caused great excitement in the family and especially with Toby.

Tilly took over as "Mother".  All she has to do is whistle to Curlie and she comes running to Tilly.

Toby and Curlie took a while to get used to each other but now they are fine together.

Leaf fight

Love this photo

I took this photo during a trip to Bicheno, on Tassie's East Coast. 

One of my favourite photos, it just captures a moment I'll always remember. 

Mothers Day

Two mothers and one potential mother.  Three generations linked together for time and all eternity.

We also went to the Mole Creek caves with a heap of friends.  

Felix was ready with his flashlight.

The caves were stunning and magnificent. 

Strahan Visit

During the Easter holidays we went to Strahan on the West Coast and had a great experience.  We travelled on the APT railway, an old steam engine, for the day.  It was a fantastic experience and well worth it.  Strahan is such a quaint village on the rugged West Coast, very beautiful.

Felix's Athletics Carnival

Felix had his first athletics carnival today.  He kept saying he was "too shy" to run but made it through the teddy bear race with Tilly.

Pancake Man

One of Felix's favourite foods are my pancakes (or crepes).  As you can see he obviously couldn't stop after eating the pancake, there was all this syrup and ice cream left on the plate - he just couldn't resist.
