Sniffles

Ruby has her first sniffle...and a small ear infection.It's always the way!,just as we are about to embark on a 8 and a half hour flight!!.Hopefully the antibiotics will clear it up enough so that we can travel.She just smiles through it all though,our little star.
Jasper too is abit sniffly so we are keeping an eye on that.We will just be glad to arrive in perth,we are dreading the flight,we are taking the "no thrills"pacific blue,and while we did save some money it still would have been nice to have one of those bassinettes for ruby.

Oh well,people do it all the time,flying with young children,so i guess we will cope.

daddy and kids..

here's dave with our babies,taken before much needed haircut!!

One week!

Well,it was a good turn out for our garage sale.Made about $50 which will go straight on our bbq tonight.Jas had a great time with his partner in mischief,Paige.
We finally feel organised now,got a few more little jobs to do before we leave cromwell next saturday.1 week to go..AAHHHHHHHH!....ok,panick over.

Just a ramble...

Poor jasper...recently we have sold his cot and his highchair!,but it has been nice to see him cope so well with it,turns out he quite likes standing at his (child-size)table,feeding himself and who knew that he would take to a bed so quickly?...though we are still finding him asleep on the floor so we scoop him up and put him in bed.
Now,if we could hear him say a word or two(and not just babble),then that would be cool.

I think Ruby is getting some teeth as she is very grizzly at the mo,which is not like her.Our youngest is 6-months-old this week..WOW!

Abit more about my weekend,It is always good to go out with old friends and know you can just be yourself and not think about the kids for alittle while,the whole weekend was relaxed.

Interesting when Shanz pointed out that people were giving us "looks" at the cafe we all went to on saturday morning,as Dave and I juggled our two bubs.Makes me laugh as it just doesnt worry me anymore.I think dave and I make a good support team BUT i think even he and I will be tested to the limit on our 9 hour flight to perth(especially with Jas)!!.

We fly out of chch on sunday 29 oct at 7am...very scary!

Shanz and the kid's

Last farewells..

Mad,bad auntie Shanz visited this weekend...and we had a blast catching up,Jas enjoyed another big buddy,Ruby-roo's was abit unsure how to take it all really but when not "psyching"shanz out she would give her big delicious smiles and quirky sqawks!

Shanz left the heeled,fluffy slippers at home tho..fortunately.

Sleeping beauty

We are having success getting jasper used to sleeping in his bed..we put the mattress on the floor where his cot once was and we cuddle up with him and read storys..but he has to be properly tired or else he's up!.I have put a photo on here because he just looks so darn cute....

About Ruby...

Our little girl has the cheekiest sense of humour,the facial expressions she pulls are classic.She is aware that poking her tongue will cause much laughter.
She has been sleeping through the night since 4 months-old and she never complains.She is a dear wee girl.

We sold our car today so that is a relief.It is all happening now.We just have to pack up all our stuff into boxes and pop some in storage and ship others...we are going to have a big garage sale!.We are going to have a farewell bbq for all our friends and next weekend my very good friend Shanley arrives,which i am really looking forward to.
