Anya and Devon - around 6 months old

Just wanted to post these photos that Ingrid sent through the other day.


Photo shoot with Anya and Devon...hahaha

Anya's smiles disappear as soon as the camera comes out
and Devon just thinks it's one big joke!

I'm bored now...mmm, what's this? Oh yeah,
eyes to poke, hair to eat, someone to play with!

ok, lets try this position...a bit better

September Happenings...

Warning...long post ahead!

Here's a run down of what we've been up to in the last few weeks

4th of September
We took the train to Perth with Annette to check out a wedding dress she liked. Mum and Ingrid and kids were going to come along, but they ended up catching a train back to Armadale because Ingrid wasn't feeling well. The dress was beautiful, but she's found a different one since and it's even more stunning! We had a great day out - as you can see, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. By the way, she's asked me to be her maid of honour with Tineke and Renee as bridesmaids - should be fun!

My little boy all rosy cheeked after his sleep

Every time I tried getting a photo of Devon
smiling, he'd turn his head away and pull some silly face

Yay! Finally a normal one :-)

8th of September
We helped Isaac celebrate his 3rd birthday at his party in the park. Eric had to come up for a work conference and it happened to be in the same week as Isaac's birthday, so Sonja decided to come up as well and have his party with family and friends in Perth. 5 cheeky 3 year olds Kiera Huizinga, birthday boy Isaac Dobbe,
Toby Kleyn, Olivia and Ashlyn Dobbe

Devon and Megan (from Jeremy and Emily) are in
awe of Amaya (from Eric and Sonja) - "wow, she can sit!"

Our two little water rats.
This was the first time he went in the big bath with Olivia; I usually bath him in the laundry trough, and he just goes psycho, arms and legs go everywhere and most of the water ends up on the floor and over me - entertainment every time :-)

Rod surprised me with these one day after work
sweet hey :-)

23rd of September

watch him go!

25th - 28th of September

The last weekend in September was a long one so we decided to head down to Albany and see how Rod's parents were doing - his Dad recently had a hip replacement. It was good to catch up with the rest of the family and other friends too. Rod got to go fishing (and caught two queenies!) and play golf so he was a happy man :-) The kids were good little travellers, Devon just wasn't such a good sleeper while we were in Albany...but hey, Pop and Nanna loved seeing them both again, so it was all worth it! Good morning my gorgeous little poppets :-)

At the Dome for brekky on Monday morning...can you
believe that we were there at 7:30, thanks to our little alarm clock
Devon. He thought 5:30 was a good time to get up all weekend!

watch out for the tea spray!

Fields of gold - all the canola is in bloom and it
just so beautiful!
