A random hot day in the holidays saw us head off to the 'beach' for a cool off.
Here Devon and Olivia are playing in the water waiting for cousins Lauren and Hannah
to arrive - they were up from Albany for a week.
The girls stayed for dinner that night -
here they are having fruit time with Nanna
Hannah, Lauren and Olivia letting their creative juices flow
Levi being a goofball and my maid in the background doing the ironing ;-)
On the last day of the school holidays we headed off to Perth on the train
enjoying some morning tea while we wait for the ferry
which takes you across the river...
...to the playground
a quick happy snap of us all before heading back home
The morning was beautiful and sunny but the afternoon was a bit wet and wintry
good for a quick spot of shopping while Levi slept :-)
Levi's lovely locks were becoming just a bit long and knotty, so it was time for a trim
I was scared his curls would disappear if I chopped it too short so I just took a little bit off
The highlight of the day while Nan and Pop were staying with us - the nurses visit!
Devon (and Olivia when she was home) were allowed to help the nurse with things like
taking Pop's temperature and blood pressure which they thought was just it! Devon's not shy either
so when the nurses started coming he'd run outside and say, "Hi! I'm Devon, I'm 4 1/2, what's your name?"
Another big October event: Rod's 33rd birthday this year :-)
It fell on a Sunday so we celebrated with the family and Ed and Evette
with coffee and cake and then soup and buns afterwards
Here's Andrew, Paul B, Ingrid, Rod and Marcel
Charlene, Dad, Myron Hordyk (Renee's bf), Renee and Rose
Marleen, Mum, Evette and Ed
All the kids made themselves quite comfortable at the front door :-)
Tegan, Devon, Elisa, Anya, Levi, Courtney, Olivia and Caitlin
from the kids perspective...a familiar sight while the in-laws were here
and another one from the kids...all the books we need to keep Levi
occupied during breakfast, lunch and dinner!
With their dear Pop and Nanna
