Decorating the Christmas Tree

Amelia and I had fun putting the final touches on the Christmas tree. She has, however, pulled off as many decorations as she has put on the tree!! I suppose that is all part of Christmas!!

Disco Party

It's important to look the part when you are in

vited to a Disco Party! Webby did not disappoint anyone here!!

The Neighbours

The neighbours regulalry come over for a glass of wine - thank goodness! A good excuse to have one!! Both Edward and Amelia also look forward to visits from Donna and Peter.

On the Canal

We are lucky enough to have relatives who live on a canal. This was great fun!

Daddy Dancing

This is Daddy and Amelia dancing, or playing horses. If you look closely enough, Edward is enjoying this as much as everyone else!!

Going to the Library

When you have run out of car seats, this is what to do! Amelia, Edward, (cousin) Anna and I were off to the local library - what else is there to do in town??

Afternoon Tea

Amelia has taken to Baby Cappuccinos. She LOVES the cholcolate on top!!! These pictures speak for themselves. You will see Amelia with her cousin, Anna, and Aunty Kelly-Anne.

Afternoon Tea on the Verandah

Here we are enjoying the City Views (while the home owner is away) with good family friends.

Eldest in the Family

Can you guess that this is the oldest child???

Her apron reads "Stuff being the Princess, I want to be the Queen!"

Playtime at Home

Amelia wants to do everything that Edward does. It seems that I have 2 of everything and thank goodness for that!! It makes dealing with 2 little children much easier!!

These photos are taken in November 2007.

Uncle Thomas and his 10 nieces and nephews

This is Uncle Thomas with 9 of his nieces and nephews!! All ten children are 10 and under. Can you imagine what the 2 days were like with all of us in the same house?? I think we were pleased to get home! In the photo from left to right: Daniel, Henry, Phoebe holding Edward, Benjamin, Nicholas holding Amelia, Thomas holding Eva and Meg on the far right. Stella couldn't stay up and was asleep!

More Cuddles on the Couch

Edward is 2 months old.

Amelia is 18 months old.

Pop

Edward and Amelia visited their Pop in his new house. This is Pop on their mother's side.

Enjoyable Moments

In all the hectic that comes with having children, there are moments which are just to be enjoyed - is it any coincidence that Edward is asleep in both these photos?!!

The first photo is of me and Edward in hospital (day 1) and the second photo is of Edward at home (5 days old).

Edward meets Amelia

Amelia loves her younger brother. She loves cuddling Edward and even sharing his bouncer (she sits on top of him!).

This photo was taken in hospital on the first day Edward was born.

Edward William Archie

This is Edward in the first hours of being born. He arrived very quickly on Thursday 16th August at 4.05am weighing 4540 grams (10lb 2). We are all very excited to have Edward arrive safely and to have him at home with us.

Amelia and the Pig and the Bucket

Amelia loves being outside with not one, but 2 buckets!
She will watch the pig eat all day if you let her!
And Amelia doesn't mind a splash in the puddles either.

Amelia feeding the pig

This is Amelia with the pig bucket, or 'ba' as she calls it.
She loves feeding Moshy and hence loves buckets!

Hungry Amelia

This photo shows how easy it is to feed Amelia! I don't even have to be looking at her and she will find the spoon. No wonder she is a healthy size!!

Amelia's Christening

Amelia was baptised in February. We celebrated with many family members and friends. Amelia seemed to enjoy the Church service. Her hair has started to grow a lot more since her baptism - maybe it is the water!

Amelia's locket was a special gift she received for her Christening.

This is Amelia socialising!!
