Jess, Devoe and Jackson having their bedtime stories. It’s been awesome having them stay but we’ll have to head to Aussie son to see them on their home turf. Jack and Devoe have been great together!

Loving our new lounge…
This is with all the lights on…
And just a few mood lights…
The entrance deck is done!
Just need the deck lights, fern garden up each side and it’ll be good to go. I needed a flagstone (Shist rock) for an initial step.
I did a contra with the stonemason… Two metre wide flat stones for two bottles of Bourbon. So I had to pop to the liquor shop for a few bottles. Typical dodgy country deals eh. Will look great though!
Are they smiles?
Must be getting close… We’ve had a few smiles today that seem like real ones. Looking forward to Livvie’s smiles being a regular occurence
Brother and Sister…
Here’s the two ratbags having a moment on the floor.. Jack and Olivia seem to be getting on pretty well!
Here’s a random photo Jack took when he stole my iPhone… Man, my baby Jack is really growing up. He already knows how to download apps from the iTunes AppStore on the iPad!
Some house updates…
Finally the shist wall is going up! It’ll lighten as it dries. Should be all completed in the next few days…
The kitchen (with tweaks) is going back in and looks good. We get the new bench top in the next few days…
Jack and his sister Olivia
Jack having a cuddle with his sister. He loves her (I think) and they’ll be great mates when she’s a little bigger.
1st day at Soccer!
It’s official! Jack has started playing soccer for the “Rolleston Midgets”. His team is called the “Bunny Lodge Bulldogs” – cool eh!
They will play at 11am each Saturday down at Rolleston. The kids are great, none have a clue what they’re really doing, it’s complete chaos but it’s totally fun.
After a slow start he got into it and kicked the ball around heaps!
Here’s Jack checking out the other kids…
And doing stretches like a pro! What a good lad!
This is his team. They are pretty small and cute to watch running around. The coach, “Mike” seems to love what he does. Give Jack a few weeks and he’ll be totally into it. That is until the winter frost kicks in!
Country fun–Firewood time!
We had a heap of dying trees and about 150m of willows that needed about 15 feet taken off before winter. We had a contractor chop all the trees, but me and Jackson were on firewood splitting and bark chipping duty!
Jack was helping me run the splitter. He loved playing with it! I think that day we got about 1/3 of my winter wood supply so we’ve got a bit left to go!
Only real problem was that these are pretty loud tools so it’s not helping baby Olivia get her beauty sleep!
