Lost photos

 I don't use my laptop all that often ... (its dying and on its way out). Most of my emails I look at on my phone, so today when I was clearing out my laptop, I found these gorgeous photos that Nanny took! So cute, the were from November, the day after Lucy's birthday party taken at chesterfield farm.xx

Happy Birthday Mama!

An early birthday celebration before Mama flies to the big apple for a girls week away!!

Trying for a sibling photo ...

 Finding these three, still, in the same place, is pretty rare! I raced for the camera, but this is as good as it got! 

Holly's favourite thing to do is to carry her baby sister around. It must make her feel so grown up, she does a great job at it and is just beautiful with Luce.

A day at the Zoo

 We spent a nice long day at the zoo a couple of weeks ago. It was a good day, however we went on a Sunday during school holidays so it was jam packed with people. The kids had a ball - the Lions were a big hit!

A sunny, but very cold Sunday

 Sunday at Kew boathouse. A family picnic in the park. Despite the sun it was absolutely freezing!

 Happy birthday Piper!! (and of course Indie!!)

 Lots of Aunty lovin!

Lulu is definitely spoilt at family functions now - she is the only baby!

The Vicos come to Melbourne!

 We had been counting down the day until The Vicos came to town - They finally made it! It has been one year since I saw my sister! They stayed with us for a whole week and experienced the chaotic life of 3 kids! It wouldn't surprise me if Filippo has already booked himself in for "the snip" ha ha ha!

We had such a lovely week hanging out, just doing the everyday things - it was perfect. Marley is a little spunk and the kids all had a ball together. We are now counting down the days until "the BIG wedding" in September, where we will see everyone again.

A visit from the Hill Family

 Two weeks ago the Hill family travelled down from Brisbane to see us. It has been 5 years (almost 6) since they were here (for our wedding!) We all went down to Rye and stayed in an awesome house (that had every piece of kids and baby equipment you could imagine!). The weather was perfect, the kids got on like a house on fire and the company was second to none. It was so good to finally sit down and relax with Adam and Renee over a bottle of wine.  The kids got on so well that Holly and Sarah were both crying when they had to say goodbye (too cute!). That was two weeks ago and Holly is still asking when we will see them again!
We spent a whole morning in a park on the beach flying kites. It was one of those perfect days that they will remember for ever - days like these are what childhood memories are made of - and one that reminded us how awesome our kids are xx

A birthday well celebrated!

Holly was well and truly spoilt rotten this year. Nanny and Pa and Aunty Pol and Marley have all just left us and gone home. We had a jam packed few days and lots of fun. We miss you all already xx
Taking birthday calls.

Yesterday the four of us piled in the car for a BIG girls day out to see .... MARY POPPINS!!!

It was so much fun, we had a quick bite to eat at the cellar bar, then walked around to Her Majestys Theatre. The show was amazing. The sets were unlike no other, it was a great show (My sister and I have decided we want to star in musicals - despite our complete lack of singing and dancing skills!) Holly loved it - especially when Mary Poppins flew over the audience! She lasted really well until about the last 15 minutes when she got very restless (it was a 3 hour show!).

By the way we are all rugged up and it was slightly cold (freezing according to the Queenslanders) however today it was so hot the air conditioner went on!

Bath Time!

Family bath time

This was from a few weeks ago .... we were out, with no kids, blind, bar hopping and didn't get home until after 3am! Won't be doing that again for a while!!
