Crazy dance

Catch up

I'm sorry for the big gap in posts.  As I've previously mentioned I'm having difficulty uploading from my phone and I'd gotten used to doing it that way so now it's back to the computer.  If only my tech savvy husband had time between Red Sox games to help me out!  

The first pic was taken last weekend at Cranbourne Centro shopping centre where Eli got a new hat!  And the hairdresser got a bit carried away with the gel after his hair cut!

It may not be summer yet but that doesn't seem to bother Mr Naked!

G Jops and GFK came for 3 1/2 days and they had a ball with Eli.  Thursday they took him to the zoo, in undies, with no spare pants!  And it worked out!  Friday they went to the sculpture park and then did a playground hop along the peninsula coast line.  Unfortunately there are not photos to show from those 2 great days so we had to snap a few before they left.

 Who does this remind you of? 

Eden

We just spent 5 days on the coast in southern NSW and northern VIC.  We went with the Hateleys, Crumptons and Lucas'.   For some reason these photos have all loaded in reverse order so you'll have to start at the bottom if you want to see things in chronological order!  We kept talking about getting a big group photo of us all but of course forgot.  I didn't manage to get one photo of little Charlie Crumpton which I'm very sorry about.  We'll just have to do it all again soon!

We stopped in Metung on the way home for a night with the Hateleys.

It wasn't quite warm enough for the splash park but that didn't seem to bother Maddie, Amelia or Eli.

The drive there and back was about as picturesque as it could be.

Imogen, Max and Jake Lucas.  Maddie and Amelia Hateley and Eli.

Tracey and her beautiful boys.

Imogen and Maddie.  Maddie 4 going on 24!

The tall ships came into Eden harbour while we were there on their way from Hobart to Sydney.

The girls had a lunch and afternoon out while the boys stayed home with the kids!  Sorry you had to leave Sunday Suse, we missed you!

2 kangaroos! Max, Imogen, Maddie, Jake, Louis and Eli.

The giant bouncy pillow was definitely the highlight of the stay.

Max and Jake - chillin!

The king of the wild things

Eli has been going to bed with this crown on the past few nights!

And today we went to the hospital for  my first obstetrics appointment and look what we found right inside the hospital!

Liza's visit

We had my aunt Liza here from England for 3 days.  We got lucky in between rain and had one great day down on the Mornington Peninsula and the next on the Great Ocean Road.

This was by far the highlight of Eli's trip to see the 12 Apostles!  We watched 3 helicopters land and then take off.  He was more than excited!

Zoe and Liam visit

I've been trying to post these photos since last weekend when Zoe and Liam visited but the program which I upload photos from my phone has not been working.  So I've emailed them all to myself and here they are!  We went to the Dandenongs and visited this lovely garden....

 And went to Bunnings playground with the boys while Zoe was off in the city.

 Liam did pretty much everything while wearing Eli's helmet!

 Liam trying to put Eli's shoes on him.

 Father's day on the train to Oakleigh where we had a great Greek lunch and met up with Grace and Vicky.

Family

Eli's daycare asked us to send a family photo for a picture wall they are making.  I looked back and discovered that the last family photo we had was when Eli was about 8 months old!  So here is the updated one.
