Kids back

School holidays here and the three oldest spent a week up in sunny Queensland at their grandmother's. Daniel and myself were stuck in cold rainy Melbourne....

But all smiles when they came home again!

School starts again on Monday and that's not good news according to Alicia. School's apparently not that fun anymore lol.

Anglesea

SCHOOL CAMP '09

We've been to the annual Swedish School Camp in Anglesea again. It was great fun as usual and the kids thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Alex stayed home with Chris and it was just the rest of us. Good idea as that boy has no sense at the moment... takes off, explores forests full of snakes and dives with sharks LOL. Well not really, but you get my point, not a child I can just leave to play on his own.

James liked the bow and arrow the best and Alicia preferred playing beach volley ball. I enjoyed not actually working on the camp for the first year as I had Daniel with me hence just came along as a parent! Not Bad!

Daniel

Ah the weeks fly... growing up heaps! A month old now and finally starting to have a few hours in between feeds during the night... at least three! YAY!

He's a very alert baby, talkative and smiling... all those things that make you forgive and forget all the bad nights. Natures way of making sure you don't throw the baby away after a few weeks I guess LOL.

James' 7th

James really wanted a sleep-over party for about 20 little wild 7-year olds, but his mum wasn't too keen on that idea. Especially with a little newborn in the house!

So he had to choose a party venue somewhere and reduce the number of children to 12. It was a tough job and took him nearly 2 weeks, but he finally decided on a bowling party. And he came up with a golden rule: Alicia and Alex where not allowed to come! Well I don't blame him really lol... but Daniel was allowed to come which was good considering his food stays with his mum (bloody dairy cow I feel like). Anyway, he had a ball and Alex chucked a wobbly when his brother came home a few hours later with a sack of pressies and started open them on the kitchen floor. All in front of him! Ah it's hard being 3 sometimes...

26/07/2009

So finally he's here our new perfect little family member...

A big chunk of 3900g and 54 cms it's freaking hard to believe he could fit in my seemingly small pregnacy bumb. But he did! And even better, he came out too! Born at 3.45pm on 26/7 after... ONE push (oh jesus have i been stretched to the max before by any chance?) .

Older siblings are very proud and it feels strange but wonderful to have another baby in the house!

Mormor

Mormor has finally arrived and its bliss for the very pregnant mother...

Here she is reading the bedtime story after feeding me smorgastarta - perfect!

First Tooth Lost

James finally lost his first tooth! He's been very upset that he's the last one in his class, but now feels very happy indeed.

And... just a four days later he lost another three teeth so now he has trouble talking properly... hahahaha
