A day at Birubi




We have had beautiful weather. A nice day out had involved walking to the park, Eva now loves to take her trike up and down the hills in the skate park, and trip to the swings, and finish by walking back up the beach to fly our kite. Are we doing the right thing moving away from this paradise? I hope it all works out and the final uprooting is worth it. We are lucky not to have to sell Birubi, and we can have weekends away here.

Scary pelican


Will miss our fish co-op, love choosing fresh fish for dinner. Eva then enjoys feeding the pelicans some of our prawn out the front. They tend to chase you down and get the bag off you, Eva was not half as scared as I.

A package!


I love the love that is given to my girls. I can live with the fact that you are often a deliverer of goods, and your recent weekend away is not half as interesting as new teeth, dance moves, even an excited smile! So from the far shores of London a package is sent with cotton undies, PJs and ...wait for it... matching halloween costumes! I am so lucky that they not only have their mum and dad getting them excited about an event where you knock on doors and people give you lollies!, but also friends and family that are excited for us. I never anticipated haloween to be so fun!

Who's your sister?


Daylight Saving


Love daylight saving! A sundowner at about 7:30 on the veranda.

Fun Long Weekend




A fair! that we came across after a BBQ chick picnic lunch. Eva very excited to see her friends Ella and Abbi, horse riding, giant trampoline, and uncle Joel took her on the dodgems! The cheapest ride was the giant slide but Eva was not keen on this, and I feel she will be talking about that trampoline for weeks to come.
Pip enjoyed the small animals, and sat by the ducklings for ages, she had a good attempt at saying 'duck'. While on words she will pick up anything resembling a phone hold it to her ear and say 'herro'. She has also started the stair stage, and we spend plenty of time crawling the stairs. She is so impressed with herself. Eva is well into the 'look at me' stage where she will hold a pose, hop on one leg and the audience will respond with the ooo, ahhh tricky!! Steve has taught her to stand on one leg, lean on the wall, and put one finger in her ear mmmm, nice one daddy.

Eva fashionista



Eva is soooo independent at the moment, and loves dressing herself, sometimes 3/4 times a day! So armed with my new camera I will attempt to record them in all their glory.
Its all about stockings at the beach. The first really warm day of the Summer, so we had a wee picnic on the beach.


my journal


well, i am going to attempt this bloggy thing again. Eva is obsessed with Mary Poppins and everything is 'super-kala-fragalistic-..' and as the song goes, everything is 'atrocious'. Pip is saying 'Muma!' and 'Eda' and crawling too fast. She climbed the stairs at Birubi today, with my supervision, and she is pulling her self up on all things and very curious about all things, esp what Eva is upto.
