WEDDING

I thought after the 2 new babies were born into our family that life would start to get just a little quieter.

Now we have my son Michael and Chantelle getting married on 19th March

Exciting busy times ahead

9 weeks to go.......

FINALLY

What a great way to start a New Year

At last Daniel is a Daddy

After being induced Candice delivered a sweet baby girl

On 1st January at 10.16pm

Evie Louise 8lb 11ozs

She was a big one



Here is a photo taken today when Evie was about 17 hours old next to Holly who was born on 2nd December. Evie is just a couple of ounces bigger than Holly.

Happy New Year

WAITING.......................

Waiting is so hard to do

Poor Candice is now 7 days past due date

We thought we would have another sweet baby to nurse before Christmas Day BUT she is keeping us all waiting.

Now 7 days late

Hurry up little one we want to cuddle you

Caldermeade Farm

Great Place to visit

On Saturday my sister Susan, BIL John , Max and I met my father and his wife at Caldermeade Farm for lunch. My father turned 87 on Friday.

We had a lovely lunch in their cafe.

Caldermeade Farm would be a great place for a visit over the Summer break.

It is located at 4385 South Gippsland Highway Caldermeade Victoria  just 10 minutes past Tooradin

They have a free Animal Nursery that kids would just love. We plan on taking our grandchildren there over christmas.

Something else the kids would enjoy is going to the dairy where at 3.30pm every day you can watch the cows being milked.

Tomorrow is the day that grandbaby number 5 is due.

It's a girl

ONLY ONE DAY LATE

Sweet little Holly Violet Naylor

arrived today

2nd December at 1.39pm

7lb 8ozs

In these photos below Holly was only one hour old

Riley was so excited to see his new baby sister

Amy was so surprised when the baby arrived and it was a girl

Love this photo below with Dad, Ryan texting away, spreading the news.

No doubt I will share some more photos when she is not so scrunched up and has had a bath.

NEARLY TIME

As you can see by the bellies in the photo I took yesterday it is nearly time for some sweet babies to arrive.

Amy is due 1st December and Candice 21st December

With the last few days being quite warm 34C (93F) the girls are well and truly ready to go.

Yesterday we took Riley to the beach.

He loved it

Love this shot of Amy and Riley where you can also see the baby belly.

COLOUR PLUS

LOVE THE COLOURS

Love the colour of this plastic cutlery for kids that I got from Ikea

The grandkids love picking which colour they will use

Great way to teach little ones about colour.

I usually use The Wiggles for colour, Murray RED, Sam/Greg YELLOW, Anthony BLUE, Jeff PURPLE and Dorothy GREEN

Where else but Ikea could you buy this cute lot of cutlery for only AU$1.99

Have a wonderful weekend

20 Days to wait

20 days until due date.

My daughter Amy left work on Tuesday to await the arrival of Baby No.2

This means no more babysitting of recently turned 3yo Riley for 2 days a week.

Took this photo of Riley kissing 'his baby' this morning.

Love him standing there on his 'tippy toes' to kiss his Mums belly

 Can't wait to see if it is a boy or a girl.

Amy would dearly love a girl but thinks it will probably be another boy.

Three weeks after Amy's baby is due we will be ready for

my son Daniel and his fiance Candice to have their little girl

This is Daniel reading a story to their baby - the book was a gift to Daniel from Amy

 Love hanging out the washing and seeing this gorgeous climbing Pierre de Ronsard rose in bloom

 Such pretty petals

 Becoming so soft and pretty



Pretty flowers on the Mock Orange - Murraya paniculata

How pretty the Banksia Rose looks climbing along the fence behind the Silver Birch

Beautiful Banksia Rose
