Criky mate,only 4 weeks to go!

Well,perth is getting closer,only 4 weeks to go.Just talked to my brother and he thinks perth is marvelous,he and his family are all settling in well.

We managed to sell a couple more baby things;the change table and The Clunker aka the stroller...the 4 wheel drive of strollers and,although brilliant for us it did weigh a ton!,although strangely, I was sad to see it go.It is not an easy thing to see all your baby stuff sell.

But,onwards and upwards.Here's to new adventures and challenges!.

Dave is now a true blue kiwi bloke!,it's official.He went along for the citizenship ceremony today in the council rooms in alexandra.It was all over quite quickly( unlike the actual applying for the privlage!).Yep,over four years,a marriage and 2 kids later and david can now come and go on a kiwi passport...but will always support the springboks!!.

2006 blossom festival

Great day for the parade.Both Jas and Roos' first blossom festival.Jas was totally absorbed in the big trucks ,which kicked off the whole event,big trucks don't normally excite me but these ones were extra big,shiny and grunty!,and it was definately a highlight.
Aunty fifi and shane joined us and after, we also caught up(albeit very briefly)with Jodie,Aunt sheyrell,Des and all the kids aswell.
We went and had a picnic down at our new fav spot beside our tree that we planted,overlooking the river.

I've learned to climb!

Look what I can do! I can navigate accross the entire lengh of the room without touching the ground at all! (much to mommies horror!) Such fun!

Fun and games

Jasper escaped thru our fence the other day,could have been serious as the fence is actually a piece of sheet metal that has come off it's hinges at the bottom...so it COULD have cut him or my neighbour might not have seen him running out her driveway and onto the road!!,I heard the commotion but K(my neighbour)was faster.I have a small houdini on my hands.

Today Jas had a play in the flour and the house was covered in it so,i grabbed the vacume and my funny little boy snatched it and was sucking his lips and tongue into the nozzle,well,i was beside myself laughing.He is quite quirky like that,he has no fear.He likes to stick his fingers down the plughole when we let the bath water out and he stage dived off the back of the armchair onto his face...Twice!.

Both the kiddies like songs being sung to them.Ruby loves Twinkle,twinkle little star and is fascinated by my fingers 'twinkling'.Jasper is fond of Open shut them because it involves tickling him and he likes the suspence.
Dave sang to Ruby in Afrikaans this morning, which involves a lot of ggg sounds, and she loved it as she makes those sounds too!
Roo also likes rolly-pollys(i have to push her over as she can't yet roll),raspberry blowing on her cheeks and tummy and peek-a-boo.

I made a small picture book for Jas today(because i get sick of him ripping up my mags!),and he loves it.Oh yeah,he is also fascinated with his tongue at the moment so he goes around the house with his tongue hanging out.

Well,better go as i can hear roo on the baby moniter making ggg sounds again.

God Of Nations..Lah de dah....

Dave has recieved confirmation of his citizenship ceremony date;it is scheduled for 27 september at Alex.Good news for us as it means he can now apply for his NZ passport and off we can go to australia..yey!

Jasper said his third word this morning,"Bottle"So cool.He is also feeding himself now...and the walls,floor etc.He was not happy with daddy going off and leaving him and even gave dave a tiny smack on the hand when he got home from Kurow.Poor daddy felt abit sad about that but today all is forgotten.

Roo is a little round ball of happiness!.I can't believe she was my tiny newborn not that long ago.She has the barron cheeks!!.She is now on baby rice(farex) and is doing really well.

We have had squally,gusty winds down here all night and this morning.Somebodys drain pipe is resting in our backyard?and we had a power cut at 5:30...fun when you are trying to get bottles.But,we are having a very relaxing morning all together,safe and warm,my little family.
