Remember Us?

These a few reasons that blogging has been on hold.  I could bore you with detail of illness and fatigue and emotional instability and good times and memorable occasions.  Thought you could do with a few photos.   A few highlights not captured in the photo documentary are;

• Jemmie's sleeplessness has turned the corner...with a little bit more education from us.  She is so much better for it.
• The little girl has 3 new teeth and the fourth looks like it might arrive tomorrow or the next day.
• We had a great night on the 10/10/10 when we hosted a 10 course degustation dinner party for 10 people.  At the beginning of the night everyone was a stranger to each other but it didn't take long for frivolity to kick in. It was fab. 
• Angus has discovered the joys of speech.  He has been reluctant until now to use his words but the house is silent no longer.  One day when he was coming home after a tiring morning out he told his grandma that 'the batteries in his feet were not working'. 
• We got a new car so now the front passenger no longer has to have their kneecaps shattered by the glovebox every time you brake. 
• We are counting down the sleeps until we fly to Sydney for Christmas.  Angus constantly talks about Baapa and Granma and so it will be a Christmas to remember.  Bring. It. On. 

He's got the cutest habit of leaning against the wall and crossing his leg over when he wants to have a casual conversation.  This day he went out to the front step and informed me that he just wanted to stand there and wait for Daddy to come from the train station after work.  Well, it was only 11am. 

Here's Tarta and Angi (Carter and Angus).  They are best buddies with at least 2 play days a week every week.  They ask for each other all the time and we'd like to think that they'll be mates in 20 years time.

"Where are the two boys?" Kristie and I asked each other.  Found them in Jemmie's cot.



"Clouds make rain" is his latest conversation topic.
