Happy Birthday Harrison!

Harrison had a "Geckoes Wildlife Party" to celebrate his birthday this year. He invited his family and friends plus some very cool reptiles and animals... there was a tree frog, lizards, snakes, crocodile, turtles and a glider. As you may or may not know, harrison LOVES reptiles and it showed! He was right at home with them.

Grown up Graduate!

Attention everyone!! Harrison has officially graduated from Preschool and is moving on to bigger things! We had a lovely evening at his Graduation Ceremony. There was a special service booklet featuring the names of the graduates and he received a lovely certificate. We enjoyed all the songs the graduates entertained us with and Will enjoyed eating fistfuls of Twisties at the supper afterwards!

Our very precious baby...

How cute is our baby brother or sister? The Doctor says it only has a fine amount of fair hair! He/she is growing very well and should weigh in around 7 and a half pounds or so. We are very excited...Harrison is talking to the baby and tapping some morse code through my tummy - would you believe the baby taps back LOL! Will doesnt quite understand but kisses my tummy which is very cute.

Budding Artist

Harrison was very proud of the canvas he created for the Preschool artshow - as were we! It is entitled "Bushwalking in the Rain". It was displayed in the show at the library and is now displayed in our home.

We've seen Santa!

Santaland!

Harrison, Will, Mummy and Nanny went to visit Santa at "Santaland" in the Brisbane Myer Centre. The boys boarded the Santa Train for a ride while they waited for their turn to visit Santa in his little house. They each received a special gold ticket to board the train which was punched by the conductor. After their ride they received a special Santa bag with a Santa drink, kangaroo shaped potato chips and jelly beans. Will was a little bit nervous around Santa but "tolerated" his presence! He was quite fond of the motorised Rudolph though. Harrison was right at home and happily reeled off his requests! Santa gave them each a gorgeous little teddy bear which they can hang around their necks.

A magical atmosphere...

The train is waiting at the station!

Here we come!

Big smiles!

Bubble Monsters!

Does anyone recognize these monsters??

Will's First Kindy Day!

Will was so excited to finally go off to ABC with Harrison last Wednesday. Nervous Mummy rang the centre three times during the day only to be told to relax as he was doing great! He played happily, was very confident, ate and even slept on the big boy beds! Harrison was so proud to be taking Will with him and was being most protective!

Bike Riding...

Harrison loves to go out bike riding with Daddy. Will was feeling left out...so we had to rectify that by getting this cool toddler seat. He loves it!!

At the pool...

The pool where we stay at Currumbin is really lovely... the kids had a lot of fun!

What to do on a rainy day?

We were very lucky with our weather... only two rainy days. Harrison decided this particular day was a good one for making card castles!
