Family Photos : December 2, 2012

Here are our family photos- all 96 of them (I figured, why not put them all on!)  We were supposed to have them taken down at the beach- but a big storm came in so we went with plan B- our house.

Ellie is 4 days old- Dyllan is nearly 3 years old

Ready for the fireworks!

9 pm fireworks.. you could see the Manly ones- and the 3 sets of city ones as well (the one in the middle of the 3 in the back is the Sydney Harbor Bridge)- shortly after the fireworks ended- we headed back home.  Dan and the kids went straight to bed- and I tried to stay up for the midnight fireworks on TV- made it till 11:55pm then went to bed.  HAHA.. i was just too tired to watch any more TV.  Oh well.. maybe next year.

First Smile

Ellie has just started to smile- she is such a sweet baby.

She is now nearly 6 weeks old and still such an angel ( knock on wood). She puts up with Dyllan holding, poking, ticking and playing with her- she is sleeping awesome at night ( sleeps two increments of 5 or 6 hours! So I only have to wake up once or twice)- during the day she is easy going as she is schlepped around everywhere we go. She is starting to wake up more now- she doesn't sleep as much during the day- and likes longer wakeful periods. She's growing growing growing!!

Ellie turns 1 month

My friend Katie suggested we take a photo each month of Ellie in the same basket- although I'm a little late ( she's 5 weeks now)- I thought it was a fun idea...
