Happy 6 months old Ella


This picture was taken at Bronte Beach on the 21st Oct. You can just about make out Ella and Val in between all the mums and bubs from their play group. They organised a bbq/picnic as all the bubs were around 6 months and they wanted to mark the occasion. It was a great day and the weather was fab.

The Worlds Biggest Chocolate Brownie

Been a while since our last post. Been busy with that crazy baby. She’s had a cold and hasn’t been sleeping well again. We had gotten into a good routine, but since the cold that’s all out the window.

She does seem to be better today so hopefully she is over the worst of it.

I had my first Fathers Day (it’s on a different day here). Val made me the biggest Chocolate Brownie the world has ever seen, and one of her now famous home made cards. Very tasty indeed (the Brownies that is, not the card).

Only 3 weeks left till the place I work at closes down. I’ll be moving over to one of their other sites then. At the moment I’m selling-off as much of the remaining stuff on-site as I can on (believe it or not) ebay. Getting some good money for some old junk. I put an old Hydraulic press on there last week for $99 and it ended up selling for $2045! Not my money though unfortunately, though it has made me think about setting up my own ebay business. Who knows, I think it could be good fun.

Sleep? What Sleep?


Well, it’s been a while since we updated the site. Mainly that’s because Ella has been very unsettled since returning from Ireland. She’s not been sleeping well at all, and Val and I have been walking round like zombies, up at all times of the night.

So we haven’t been doing anything that exciting really, just dealing with Ella and trying to get some sleep where possible.

We have a new routine that we are going to try over the next few days to see if it works, hopefully we’ll all be getting much more sleep this week.

So not much to tell.

Here is a picture of baby Val that I think looks just like a certain insomniac baby I know. aahhh, matching dimples.

There are a few new photos on the flickr site too, here.

Bonus!

Just been told at work, that I’m getting a bonus for the crazy amount of work I did over the last month (most of the time Val and Ella were away, which was convenient).

That means we can afford to splash out on a new Video Camera. After lots of research I’ve decided which one to get (you can see it pictured on the left). Its the Canon HV20. It’s High Definition and the picture quality is amazing, so stand-by for lots more video clips once we get our hands on it in the next few weeks.

Still trying to get time to put the rest of the photos on the flickr site, from when Val and Ella where in Ireland. I should get a chance over the weekend. There are quite a few on there already but there’s a load more to go up. Also a few from Steven’s flying visit just before Val and Ella left. Steven took the nice picture of them that you can see a couple of posts down.
