Abbie's 3rd Birthday

After the Playgroup party on Wednesday : Playgroup Morning Tea ..

Abbie's birthday arrived !!!!

We had a late start as we had the local hall opening on Saturday night ..

Portia rang to say she was going to Skype shortly .. so we got Abbie to open her presents before hand ..

I think Abbie got a couple opened on here own .. the boys thought they'd "help" ..

 

 

Talking to everyone at Aunty Sonje's on Skype

  

The dolls house ...

 

      

Chris went up to the hall to help tidy up .. and Abbie got an hour to play with her presents on her own ..

Opening Aunty Sonje's present ..

Party time ..

The invite ( I made on Thursday night)

  

Time for party food ..

 

Cake time ..

Abbie went a bit coy and wouldn't blow out the candles ... so I helped ..

 

Aunty Lish is visiting today on her way back from her holiday ...

Getting back on track!!!!!

To get myself back on track .. some progress pics to get me moving again
  

Now don't ask me why .. but my bust is increasing (+3cm) .. while my waist is decreasing (-4 cm)... have no idea why that is .. proportions maybe ??????

Only 3.3 kgs to go to my goal .. so close .. but also so far .. heh heh

Birthday Cake for our little Miss ...

Here is Abbie's Dora Birthday cake ... based on this pic as a template ..

I'm not overly thrilled with it .. as the skin icing .. for some reason wouldn't do as it should!

So poor Dora has a bad complexion ..

.. and Dora's hair is slipping and cracking ...

Urrghhhhh ...

... but as long as Abbie likes it that is the most important thing ..

Nic and Clark's baby is here .. YAY!!

This wee man is way special ..

Nic came and talked to me way back before IVF.. about getting pg ...

.. and what was involved and she said she wanted to talk to me because I'd be honest but fair

.. and that she trusted me fully that anything we talked about would be kept in my confidence ..

So way back to the injections, scans and EC etc only her sister and I knew .. and of course at the BFP ..

Sooooo exciting .. and now ..

This special miracle is here!!!!

.. and so well deserved !!

Jamie John .. 7lb 11oz .. born on 3/3/09 ..

Welcome to the world wee man ..

You will be truly loved!

Boys first swimming sports ..

Well Friday finally came .. and Chris, Abbie and I went to the town pool to see the boys "compete" in their first swimming sports ..

About 6 or 7 rural schools were involved which is kind of cool ..

Michael had been a bit worried about what was involved .. but as I said to him it was all the things they'd been doing in their school pool .. and would be lots of fun .. and they both enjoyed it .. except for Michael losing his goggles before the fun had even started ..

In the end Michael got 2 firsts and Cam got a third .. all good fun (as they were all handed out randomly .. except for the racing one).

They were both in different heats too which was handy as I could get photos of each of them as they competed ..

 

Waiting to have their turn ..

 

Happy .. serious ..

 

Event 1 - Cam - 2nd from left ..... Mike - at the end left ..

Getting in the pool for the next event ..

 

Cam giving it a shot ..

All ready to go .. Damon, Mike and Scott

3rd event .. Cam's turn (2nd from the right) ..

All of the school lined up .. the event schedule ..

Trying another hairband out for size ...
