Camping @ Hamelin Bay...

Back in March we went on a camping trip down south to Hamelin Bay. It is a gorgeous spot, although a little dodgy on the weather front. We camped at a little Caravan Park in the National Park.

Breakfast inside the tent, as it was torrential rain belting down...

Rainy day actvities (shortly after we abandoned the tent and went for a loooooooong drive!!)...

Making breakfast...

Our site was right next to this fabulous playground....

Brett's old navy mate Kiwi came down for a couple of nights with his boys...

Lucas was one happy camper... well most of the time anyway...

Kids Birthday pics..... woah I am behind....

I am going to do a series of quick posts to try and catch up. They will probably contain lots of photos and not much chat....

Starting with a couple from the kids combined birthday party way back in March. This year we did a small family-orientated afternoon, with two cakes (what was I thinking!!).

Phew..... one post down, sooooo many to go.

We are still here....

We've been busy...

So much to catch up on! I will be back with heaps of photos soon - of Brett's sisters wedding, camping down south, and heaps of the kids.

Lots of photos!!! LOL!!!

"It's a spotty puffa fish Mummy..."

And he's off and racing...

Well, she survived her first term of Kindy...

I picked up an Easter Bunny, not a Charlotte, from her last day of Kindy for the term. Here she is in her bunny ears eating the chocolate eggs they made today at school.

We now have nearly 3 weeks of school holidays, what on earth I am going to do with her???

Lucas @ 12 months.... finally!!!

Well Lucas' 1st birthday has come and gone... but I wanted to update his final month as a "baby', as apparently he is now a toddler... not that he is "toddling" just yet...
Always on tippy-toes...
He weighs 10.9 kilos and is 78.5cms tall... his head circumference is off the scale. Actually it is only 1cm smaller than Charlotte's so the poor bugger has inherited the Lander family noggin!!

He has 8 teeth and a few more well on the way. I'm gonna blame them for the fact that he still wakes several times a night.

He LOVES vegemite toast, grated cheese, chicken (especially drumsticks), rice crackers and esecially loves pasta. He inhales it!! He also eats everything with his pinky finger raised...

He is babbling heaps... quite a bit of it we can actually decipher - Dada, Mama, Hawoe (hello), nigh-nigh (said when he is going to bed), tickle, gog (dog), car, duck.

When we say Louie go nigh-nighs, he puts his head down on our shoulder or the couch/highchair tray table.

He points at everything and grunts!! He waves, blows kisses and fake coughs.

He loves music and bops along. Especially loves Abba (when Charlie watches Mamma Mia).

He is a real Daddy's boy. Everytime the phone rings he crawls over to the phone, points to it and says Da-da. He also points Brett out in photos.

He crawls really quickly, too quick and has landed on his chin several times resulting in a whopper of a bruise.

This smiley face greets me when I go in to get him after a nap...

We love our sweet little man...
