Looking back in time (about 1 yr ago)

I just found this photo in my files.  It is one of our favourites and I enlarged it and made a canvas poster for Keith's birthday last year.  That was the beauty of working at the printery!  The girls were invited to a school friend's birthday party, which was a cowgirl theme.  The parents of the school friend own a riding school - and our girls just love horses.  What little girl doesn't?  Aren't they just sweeties - even if I do say so myself!

Tummy Sleep

Here is Leroy having his first 'tummy sleep'.  Due to the recommendations given by the hospital - to prevent SIDS in babies, we've always slept him on his back, which he doesn't mind.  However, about 2 weeks ago he learnt to roll over.  The other day I put him on our bed (on his back) and had to go and do something, when I returned a couple of minutes later, here he was fast asleep!  He does so love this new position - especially on our bed.

Our little man

Leroy loves his Daddy.  He settles so well with Keith and often goes to sleep when Dad holds him.  Such a cutie!  Here he is, at right, helping me with the washing.  He was so mesmerised by the washing machine going round!

The Girls 'New' Bedroom.



Today has been such a busy day.  I've been meaning to rearrange the girls room for quite a while now, and put their beds together in the L-shaped double bunk so that they could have some more floor space.  However, I couldn't locate the spare bolts.  Anyhow, I had a few bolts from another bed and just lucky - they fitted perfectly.  So we got working today.  The girls shifted out all the toys and books (and clothes) that had accumulated UNDER the bed (we have yet to sort through all that), and Mum set to work unbolting the current bed arrangement and quickly set to work to get it all done before Leroy woke up for his next feed.  The girls are thrilled with the result.  I guess no trouble tonight getting them to sleep in their own beds!  They also have my electronic piano in their room - a bonus since they start music lessons the first week back after the school holidays.  Our other piano is in the loungeroom, so we should be able to get piano practice over with (at the same time).

And just to finish off - a close-up of our little washer-man, 2nd July 2011.
