Bath time

Here is trouble.. They are both as wild as each other.. Dyllan loves "swimming" in the tub, while Ellie squeals with delight and splashes vigorously. Pure entertainment on my part.

Ellie's can crawl

Goodbye Balgowlah...Moving Day

Cubby house.

Reading.

Cat nap in the stroller.. since there was no bed.

Helping?  No, getting stuck.

Stuck.

"Scues me boys!" Dyllan would yell from her thrown.  The boys got such a kick out of her.  Lucky they all liked kids.  She was with them the entire day!

Picnic lunch

There goes our stuff..

Goodbye old house.

Sushi dinner- what a treat after a big day of moving

This should keep em quiet..

The big three- one

What a great birthday! 31 feels fully in the 30's now. Being 30 still felt like late twenties.. My 30's are going to be good, I can just tell.

Yesterday morning I woke up at 5am to a gorgeous sunrise from high up in our Jetsons house. And what better way to wake up, than to breakfast in bed. Dan and Dyllan (Ellie trailing behind) came in to greet me with red velvet cake singing happy birthday.

We snarfed down the cake and headed out for a walk along the river to South Bank- a cool area with funky coffee shops and cafes and a big man made beach.

Dan had the whole day planned out for me. It included a massage, a nail appointment, shopping and dinner at an authentic Japanese restaurant on the river. I was in heaven.
