As much as I love Devon's curls, it was really time for a haircut. It was getting so knotty and every morning when I'd brush it he'd be going "ouch! ouch!"

So last Monday night, I played a few "Maisy" videos on the laptop and merrily snipped away while Devon had his face glued to the screen. He absolutely loves Maisy.




ta da!
He looks like a real boy now - well that's the comment I get from everyone now...
what? he didn't look like a boy before?

Can't wait for it to grow again...



And last Friday Mum left for Holland with her sister Connie. She lives in Melbourne, so she first flew over here. Seeing as she arrived around 11:30 and their flight to Holland was at 4pm, we all met at a park near the airport to catch up briefly.

peek-a-boo Devon :-)

At the Park...

Here's some photos I took of Olivia playing at the park down the road the other day.







It's Monday
It's raining - YAY!!!
Olivia is sleeping - YAY to that too
I chopped all my hair off on Saturday...eeek!
Daylight saving is finished! It was dark at 7pm last night; weird!
It's wintry...I love it, I might head for my bed too. Olivia was awake at 5 this morning, snoozed for a bit till 6, didn't take her Dad's advice on going back to sleep, so got to go in bed with Mum till it was a sane time to get up (only b/c her Mum was sick of listening to her whinge and whine). So I'm feeling a bit sleepy...
Anyway, here's some pics from Saturday night. The van der Veen tribe had a BBQ at Paul and Heidi's place for Renee's b'day. (They might be put on one per day b/c the connection is soooo slow.)
