Ever Arabella Update

So here are about 10 million photos of Ever for those of you who are not on facebook...sorry it's taken so long..my computer was having problems loading up photos.

Hello everybody how are you goin?
Dad is making me a crafty thing called the Butterfly Loom . the butterfly Loom is sold at spotlight but dad said in stead of wasting 20 dollars on buying one with pocket money he said he would make me one! my first project is making a blanky for Ever with light Pink and Darkpink wool!

Bridesmaid Leetice

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well.
A few weekends ago I was bridesmaid for a friend. She was going to get married underneath a big tree with chinese lanterns hanging from it, however the weather did not permit this! Alizah ended up getting married inside the marque. It was still a lovely day despite the weather.
Love leetice

Merry Christmas

Here is a photo George (Kym (my flatmates) dog in the front) and Henry (background) at our groups Christmas party. They had special Christmas outfits. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Leetice & Henry

Bonjour!

Thought we would show all those with little girls in their family the cake at the twins birthday party last weekend. Chloe Kimberley and I had a lovely time sampling all the great food Kylie provided.

Mitchell has now finished Year 9. He is over at Michaels for the night. I look forward to having another hour in the day --- I don't have to go to the bus.

Kimberley is gearing up for school captain speeches on Friday. We've just done all the posters and badges to give to everyone. It is a pity Chelsea isn't here to oversee.

Having lots of storms lately. Kimberley is beside herself .. things will change I hope.

It looks like I've got a torn muscle in my shoulder. I have to have ultrasound and xrays this week. When I was at behs pool last weekend it killed me when I tried to swim.

Mitchell will have to hand washing out as I can't lift my arm above my head.

Doug is busy spraying the cane. It's growing so quick with the humidity.

Looking forward to seeing everyone

Love Merryl

First smiles!

THANK YOU!!

Ever just wanted to say a big thank you to the Hardwick's for this beautiful little dress, especially Kimberley who chose it! She can't wait to be a little bit bigger so she can fly around the house in it! And the little book was absolutely lovely too! I already have ideas swirling around in my head for the 1st birthday party!

Cutie-Pie Cunningham

Hey there family near and far! Thought I'd put a few update pics of our little Ever up here...it includes her first day at the beach and her first shopping trip to town...can you see which shop she's visiting? We can't wait to see you all at Christmas!

4 weeks to go!

Yipee! I've finally finished report cards! 4 more weeks than I will have survived a year teaching in Cairns! What a big achievment:)

3 Days old!

Baby C's Room

You probably can't read this very clearly but it says...
'They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendour.' It's from Is61.

Stalk design and creation by Mrs Chelsea Koch...(just giving credit where credit is due!)

And yes Aunty Merryl...those are fairy lights on the ceiling!!

Emerald - here I come

Hi all,

Just thought that I would let the family know that I am moving to Emerald on the weekend. I was originally going to be going back to Toowoomba for work, but then they asked me last week if I would prefer to go to Emerald, and I said why not. So it hasnt given me much time to organise things, mainly accommodation, which is really scarce up there due to all the mines, but I think I have somewhere to stay, at least for a little while. I'm not sure how long I will be up there for - apparently it is a 'wait and see' game. But it should be really good, as I will be able to get a lot more experience with different property types up there and work with a really good valuer, so that should be something. I will let you know in the next few weeks how it all goes. Love Lauren

Way Up North

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since I posted some pictures.

Had fun with Nana and Poppa while they were up fishing for Tilapia. The school ran a competition over the weekend of Kimberleys birthday.

Mitchell got a motor bike for his birthday and Christmas and birthday and Christmas and birthday and Christmas!

Went to Mount Surprise on Monday Night for something different.

Mitchell is off to his 3 week school camp straight after the holidays....I think I may miss him.

Kimberley went on her 3 day one just before the holidays (Dolly didn't go!)

Looking forward to being a great Aunty....dont forget everyone...what you do for one you do for everyone!!!!

Love the second last child

Mother of the last grandchildren

PS Don't forget Anna to get someone to post some photos of little Richie as soon as he is born. We want to be able to goo and gar in the north.

3 and a half weeks to go!

Took some preggie self-portraits last week that I thought I'd pop up for you.

I am feeling really good at the moment. Baby has dropped so I'm pretty uncomfortable but nothing unbearable. I had to get my wedding rings cut off last week because all of a sudden my hands and feet have decided to swell...I was out shopping with Mum (quite strenuous activity as you know!) and realised my hand was sore...I looked down and my poor old ring finger looked as if it was about to drop off!! So off the rings came but my finger still has the telltale indents!

Grandpa came around today to put the cot together in the nursery so we're pretty much all ready for the big arrival! Forgot again to bring a photo of the nursery to put up (we don't have net at home so have to come to Mum's every time I blog). It's looking really great.

THE Baby Shower

For those aunties and cousins who couldn't make it I thought I'd give you little pictorial overview! I had the best day...Chels and Mum did an amazing job!!
