So Hot!

Well it's safe to say that we are experiencing an early summer over this part of the world!
Today is 31 degrees with a westerly wind that doesn't help at all. I'm praying for the fire season to be out of the ordinary and there be no disastrous fires at all!

Hannah is running around with just a Nappie on today as it is way too hot for clothes!
Wish I was two years old again and could get away with that!

A bit of an update from us...
We had a long weekend over here two weeks ago and we went away to Old Bar with my family. We had a very relaxing time and it was way too short... I do have some pics but i have to get them off mum and dads computer as we do not have a camera at the moment, so be sure that you will see some updated pics very soon...

Other then the trip away not much out of the ordinary is happening, we are still marveling at how much more beautiful our daughter gets everyday and it is so much fun to hear her talking all the time. I had to remind Dan the other night that she is a girl and is in training to have about 20,000 words to say a day, he was wondering if she ever stopped. Along with her eating she starts when she wakes up and stops when she goes to bed... We wouldn't have it any other way:)

Well we just wanted to let you know we are all well and still here!

(Keep looking for the updated pics...)

We're happy little Vegemites....

Ok, it has come to my attention that some people might not know much about Vegemite... to all my overseas friends...this is what it is... a spread that you put on bread or anyway you want it really. It's black, smells very salty and to some people is just down right awful. But to me, and most Aussies, its a God send. I love it all the time...

I thought i would add the song lyrics that was from the advertisement back in the 40's i think it was...

We're happy little Vegemites

As bright as bright can be.

We all enjoy our Vegemite

For breakfast, lunch, and tea.

Our mother says we're growing

stronger every single week.

Because we love our Vegemite.

We all adore our Vegemite.

It puts a rose in every cheek!


I did try to add the actual song but didn't how to do it...

So there you go its been a part of our culture since the 1920's and its still going strong, from generation to generation... Hannah loves it too!

Our growing girl...

Well our little girl is certainly growing up fast!

She has been going to swimming lessons for about 6 weeks and has just been put up to Level 2! I am excited for her but also a bit sad as now I won't be able to go in with her... she is becoming so independent! She had her first lesson on Monday and she did great!

I nearly started crying when she went in by herself, I was so proud of her, you can't hold it inside!!! Agh now i'm getting teary just thinking about it.
Here is a very grainy pic of when i was in the class with her... (Will post updated ones soon)




The craft show was great... and a bit overwhelming. I did get inspired and now I have a purpose for my knitting. I am going to knit for Premmie babies in the hospitals. It is great to know that you can be used in a way that blesses others...
So I will go now and will try and remember to get some updated pics off mum and dad...

The Stitches & Craft Show

That's where I'll be today... See I have taken up knitting. I love it!
My Granny has been trying to get me to knit for years, and I have tried and failed. But since becoming a mother I have this confidence that I can do all things!
So my first project was to knit my sister bed socks for her birthday... and with the watchful eye of my granny next to me, I Did it!
So now i'm hooked and I will be knitting something for Hannah very soon.
Thus the reason for the Stitches and Craft Show I need some inspiration...

Also in my last post I was thinking that this post I will post all about me and my life, but then I realised that by me posting all the time you will see who I am anyway... So here goes...

My first post and I have a mind blank!

Here I am so excited to have created this page and then...... (crickets chirping).....nothing. Pretty sad really when I do have so much to say every other second of the day.
Ok so let me use this post as a trial, see if i know how to use it, then I will post about me!
