Merry Christmas

Boxing Day at the Mcaulys

Boxing Day at the Mcauleys

We’ve been having a lovely Christmas, mostly taking it easy with our newest family member.

Great to have Mum and Carlton here, as its making everything a lot easier while we get used to being a four member family.

We dropped in at the Mcauleys earlier this afternoon. They got the Nintendo Wii and the game Rockband for Christmas, so we all had a bit of a laugh pretending to be rock stars. It was a lot of fun.

New pictures up on flickr of Mums visit so far.

Storms and Babies

Been some big storms here over the last few days, and another one is forecast for tonight.

We’ve managed to avoid the worst of it, but areas around us have had big floods and roofs ripped from houses. Lots of people not made it into work today due to the flooding.

Amazingly Ella managed to sleep through all the thunder and heavy rain last night, even though it woke Val and I a few times.

In baby related stuff. Val has a huge belly on her now and looks ready to pop. We are both getting nervous and excited, although Val is probably more nervous than excited.

I think Ella is beginning to realise something is up. With mummy’s tummy getting so big and our constant pointing to it and saying “baby” and putting her hands there to feel the kicking. She knows something strange is going on. She will be getting a shock in a couple of weeks.

It’s a shame that Twitter stopped working with SMS messages because it would have been the perfect way to keep you all informed, blow-by-blow when Val goes into labour. But having said that the Twitter updates I send still go to the side bar to the right of this site and I will be sending pictures directly to the site from my phone after the baby pops too.

So I guess I’m saying if you want the baby news hot off the press this is the place to get it. If your interested in signing up with Twitter you can find my profile here.

Also, I have some pictures to get up on Flickr from David and Laura’s visit 2 weeks ago too. I should get round to that in the next day or so.

Another Visit to Rainbow Bay

We went down the coast for another trip to Rainbow Bay yesterday.

It was very windy down on the beach, but Ella had a little splash around in the pool of water that was left behind on the beach when the tide went out.

Took a picnic with us and ate at a nearby park to escape the wind. Then we headed back to the Macauley’s for a swim in there pool.

New iphone

So I finally got an iphone on Saturday and I have to say it is the best gadget type thing I have ever bought.

I’m actually writing this post from the phone.

Edel and Breda-Ann left us on Saturday also, so we are all alone until our next visitors arrive. Not sure who that will be yet maybe our friends Chris and Helen.

North Stradbroke Island

As it was Edel and Breda-Ann’s last full weekend, we went out for the day to North Stradbroke Island.

We got the car ferry from Cleveland over to the island, which takes 45 minutes. The weather was nice and we had a picnic which Val made. Strawberrys on the beach, now thats the life. Ella went for a little splash in the ocean and I took some film on the camcorder, but until I get my main computer fixed I can’t edit it and get it up onto the site.

We did take some stills though and I’ll try and get them up later on tonight.
