Squillions of photos

Hi everyone, hope you are all sane in the midst of silly season!

Well today has been a big day already! As of a couple of hours ago, Damian is now officially a train driver! He is all qualified and raring to go. Everyone knew he would blitz it in, he studied and really jumped in 100% and today he is as proud as anything, we are really proud of him too. He has qualified in the quickest possible time, and his instructors are really impressed with him. He is having drinks at the pub this afternoon so I expect I'll be hearing from the dark womans handbag later this evening. (a story from his navy days)

Also today the preschoolers had a graduation party They all got called up to get a certificate - it was very cute.

Kylin has taken a liking to "standing" in the freezer to cool off, an enjoyable but short lived practice I can assure you.

His first bit of roughing up, just an accident that gave him a little shiner.

Saturday the 6th saw us at 3 kids parties, it was hot, damn hot, here's Kylin hangin with the boys at Jaelyns party. Godfather planted a beer on him for the shot.

Jazzmin was in party mode too and looked beautiful.

Here he is, little Jaelyn, one year old already. He is soooo cute.

Jazzmin and Kylin at Brodies party earlier that day.

The kids had a lovely time, Bindi n Dan did a great job setting everything up. Baylie even had his own fans clipped to his pram.

This is a hercules moth I found outside bowling last friday. Their wing span is 22 1/2 cms they are HUGE.

Kylin taking his mummy bear for a ride.

Oh now that's just silly!

Kylin loved santa again this year, he kept patting him and thought he was very soft. He is going to be a very tall boy me thinks!

We had the pleasure of a visit from Wayne and Dave who had come up from Woolongong for a navy meeting. Dan and Bindi and kids came over too and we had a good catch up, we miss them heaps, we hadn't seen them for ages.

Damian managed to get Madi into the pool for a swim, she loves it once she's in, catching her is the problem.

Another pic from Filiz's birthday dinner. Isn't she lush?

We got invited to the special kids christmas party put on by the variety club and golden casket. We had a fantastic time and Kylin was shattered by the end of it. He made friends with a couple of kids, loved the rides and got some really great toys too.

He drew a picture for santa and although he was a bit shy this time, he did give it to him and gave him a hug.

Last one, this is for all those who missed it. Venus, mercury and the moon smiling down on us a couple of weeks ago.

(I didn't take this shot I got it off the net the next day)

Hope you are all enjoying this time of year and not all bothered and stressed. Be good to yourselves and enjoy each other.

Love and hugs from us. xoxo
