Photos from Lately

"Ommmm"- Haha!! We went to this Mind, Body, Spirit Expo thinking it would be fun to check out the free yoga- and it turned out it was a crazy person's expo- complete with healing crystals, sleeping herbs, palm readers, insense stands, psychics, and tie-died capes!  Dan and I could NOT believe our eyes!  Even Dyllan was in a trance by the end.  Needless to say- we only stayed a few min.  And thank god out tickets let us into the Sydney Home show for free.  HAHA.


Reading her Elephant book.  Dyllan loves books that either make noise or have something to move or feel.  This one makes a loud elephant trump!

Like Mother, like Daughter... Dyllan found my secret stash of gummy worms.. and I busted her snarfing them  down.  


Cool- Sussex Bottle Shop- downtown Sydney.


Playing at the park.  Dyllan will no longer sit in her stroller patiently.  She is a wiggle worm full of energy- and she must get out and be FREE.


On an afternoon walk with Dijiri- the water looked so pretty.  Just behind us is the dog park with a swimming beach- Mylo- this one is for you, girl!

Dijiri and Dyllan.  Love the school uniforms!
See those?  Those are knee pads- so she doesn't ruin another pair of pants.. because SHES NOT WALKING!!  Haha- I swear if she isn't walking by July when we come home- I will shoot myself.  There is no way I can handle her crawling up and down the airplane isles.. she has 52 days to get her act together.


Dyllan and I inspecting the goods after last Thursdays trip to Bakers D'Light... ughhhh so much for not stocking up on bread and pasteries.  That only latest about a week.


Over the weekend Dan, Dyllan and I went up to Caves Beach.  Its our last night with our loaner car- so we thought we should make the most out of it.  Sunday morning we went for a long walk.  So long that Dan couldn't wait to pee. And Dyllan couldn't wait to get out of her stroller.    Unfortunately this is the only photo I took that whole trip.  Ha.  Oops.

This is a new game we invented on the drive home from Caves Beach.. Dyllan puts the paper bag on her head... then quickly pulls it off.. and starts fake laughing as loud as she can and yells "boo"!  So funny.

Action Shot

So so funny, Dyllan.


My first ever batch of play dough!  I had to make this for today's mom's group- success!  Except that I tried to make a Tiffany's blue color (thought it would look classy...right?!) and it turned out spearmint gum color.  Oh well. still did the job.

Easter Weekend Away - part two

Saturday we headed up to Dan's family holiday house at Caves Beach.  The weather was perfect and the water was warm- so we took full advantage.

After breakfast/ Easter basket we decided to get out and see some of the neighboring beaches, parks, and pubs - something we had never done before.  Usually when we go up there- we hang around Caves beach and the house.  We were so glad we ventured off this time- we found an awesome camping spot- on the beach and not very well known (maybe because you have to pay $7 to enter the park- in order to even find it)  We will definitely be going back- during camping season.  Who wants to come?! 

We also found this small town called Catherine Hill Bay- which was gorgeous.  The houses were old and run down- and farm-like (people had chicken coops, 6 dogs, goats type farm..) but so close to this beautiful beach... strange.  Wonder how long it will be before this town is a completely different place?!  Its only 2 hours north of downtown Sydney- which doesn't make it THAT remote..

Dan- loving the view.  Seriously was so pretty!

Picnic time




Going for a swim


LOVES the beach!


Perfect temperature for swimming

Look what the tide washed up..Dyllan attempting to body surf.

And almost washed back out..
Waiting for the perfect wave so she can body surf

Catho Pub- ACDC cover band (they were actually REALLY good!)- wine- fun Easter evening!

Really into the music..



This is what all the rockers wear, right?
