Happy Easter :)

Hi everyone, Happy easter!

Hope you are all having a relaxing break and easter bunny was kind to you.All ready for lunch at the Balaclava hotel. Unfortunately it turned out to be a disaster but at least none of us got sick and we can laugh about it now.

Living the dream - Damian driving a train out of Cairns.

Mum n Ernie came up for a few days and spent lots of time with Kylin which he loved. We had lunch at Mondo's with them just before they left.

Pacific National puts Damian and the crew up in a motel in between jobs. Rather than come home, he stays and gets the sleep he needs then rings us and we go visit him. Kylin loves to hide in the cupboard, and check out the bed/shower/light switches and little fridge

My beautifull mummies took me out for breakfast on my birthday. I had a wonderful day with lots of phone calls and messages, it was one of the best ever :)

Tina and Rhys came over with a cake for me and the boys helped me blow out my candles.

Kylin has started Ninjutsu. He is very focussed and adores Sensai Ron. He is working towards his blue belt and is really committed to doing his jobs in order to achieve that. This is his friend Kaleb who's also in Kylin's class at school.

Dr Underpants making a house call

Easter hat parade at school. LOADS of kids jumped up to "hi 5" him as he went past. He was like a rock star it was amazing. He had the time of his life.

Happy boy

Kaleb came over for a play easter Saturday, trying to get them both to smile at the same time was impossible :)

What to do when it's been raining solid for weeks? Indoor water play :) He stayed at this for hours, he had paint, food color, glitter, foil strips, shaving cream and liquid soap. He mixed and poured and had a wonderful time.


Happy birthday to our April babies:
Mia, Blake, Randy, Catherine, Meg, Muriel, Lisa, Susan, Sheridan, Bindi, and Noah.
and our May babies
Andrew T, Chris, Rick, Emma, Jo, both of my mums, Jake, and Shane.
Hope your special day is all you hope for.
I have been busy bouncing between Centrelink, Autism Qld, and disability support. They say Autisms a puzzle - you should try and navigate more than one government department that all require things from each other but not in logical sequence - maddening, but thankfully I'm ploughing through it all slowly.
Easter bunny left lots of fluff, grass and half chewed carrots everywhere, Kylin was SO excited, he chose to get a DVD instead of chocolate thankfully.
Today is our 7th wedding anniversary - yayyy for us :)
The 3 of us are going out for lunch today to celebrate - not to the Balaclava though.
Hope you are all happy and well, and that your world is making you smile.
Till next time. xoxo

February 2010

Hi everyone, we've had a busy month again so I've only put in brief descriptions.Sweet little angel all crashed out. x
We had an amazing few days with our gorgeous friends, the following few photos were picked from about 300 :)

Damians farewell breakfast with his Navy friends,
before he set off to start work with the Pacific National in Townsville.
Very fetching :)

Daddy's first weekend back. Having pizza for valentines day.

In other news, we have finally got Kylin's paediatrition to confirm that he has Aspergers. I have known this for years, but having someone actually put it on paper means we can get him the support he needs at school which is fantastic.
Damian is enjoying his new job in Townsville and has moved into share accommodation already. Today he will complete his induction and next week he will start on a roster. He'll be home this weekend until Tuesday.
Happy Birthday to:
February
Marie, Merial, Marisol, Jessica, Mandy D, Ernie, John H, Kimmy, and Taylah.
March
Beccy, Jenny, Me, Jacinta, Joanne, Nick, Rob, Michael, Stuart, Finlay, Aimee, Sooz, Rach, and John C.
Hope you special day was / is wonderful. x
I hope you are happy and well, and that everything in your world is fabulous. Love and hugs to you all - Kaz. x

Kylin's new water pistol - it's a bit addictive :)
Kylin's first tooth fell out on the 23rd, so he got the tooth fairy one night and santa the next. Far too exciting!

Wayne joined us for a gorgeous lunch with nibbles, prawns and a vietnamese coleslaw salad, followed by a passionfruit, white chocolate ganache jelly cake - it looked like a train smash - tasted awesome!
Boxing day morning - Wayne and Kylin crashed out after breakfast - not a very lively bunch! :)
Boxing day lunch - everyone brought their leftovers and we chilled in the pool.

Lunch at "On the inlet" in Port Douglas. Scrummy!
Patio and house all candlelit on NYE. .
We let Kylin stay up as late as he wanted to. He had nibbles by candlelight, a swim in the dark, sparklers, poppers and was crashed out by 9pm.
We hope you all got through last night ok. The madness is over now for another year. :)
We now only have 10 more sleeps until our home is filled with the energy of our beautiful friends, for a week that will fly by, but I can't wait for. We have a countdown on our fridge and smiles that keep spilling out. :)
