The Last Couple of Weeks in Review...

The last couple of weeks have been flat out with Jacqui visiting, us staying inside to keep out of the smoke, first birthday parties, Denise arriving back from Canada, James and I having a brief farm stay, Rhys (Matt's cousin) staying, and celebrating Denise's birthday... Here's a couple of pics to complete a photo diary...



James with Jacqui the morning she left...


At the water play table at Ruby's first birthday party (That's Ruby in the red dress with her fairy wings on). James dressed up in his swimming nappy!!!


"No Mum, it wasn't me letting all the water out..."



With Daddy blowing bubbles on Sunday afternoon. We were trying to keep James amused when we were cooped up inside because of the smoke. We had turned our air conditioning off as it was sucking smoke into the house, and it was still about 35 degrees outside... Hence the lack of clothes on both boys ;-)


Helping me with the washing (again, couldn't hang clothes outside because of the smoke). James helps me by taking the clothes off as soon as I've put them on...


And over at Nan & Pa's farm with Pa and the dogs (Cedric the lab, and our Monty)

James thought all of the dogs were great, but he especially loved Cedric!


Nan's birthday cake baked by the Braine women... (And those bikkies were divine!)


With Nan & Pa after Nan's birthday dinner in Yarrawonga.


And a quick photo with Rhys on his last morning staying with us... He's moving into a house in Albury this week so we'll see plenty of him in the time to come...
