Catching up with pics again

Thursday - Rachel

We went to the zoo today and Rachel rode her scooter bike around most of the time, she is getting really good at it.

Wednesday - House Hunting

we have been looking for house, how depressing R3,4mil does not even get you a 3 bedroom house!

Tuesday - 'Nanny' and Rachel

Rachel has my mom running around, on the green outside our house, with her. The hide behind trees, lie on the grass, skip etc etc. Rachel has boundless energy - Mom is in need of a cup of tea when they return.

Monday - drying washing

We spend all day watching the weather and running in and out with the washing trying to get it dry. You look for a bit of blue sky like this and run out with it and then, when it looks like this...

you run out and bring it all in again.

Sunday - Yellow

Rachel's favourite colour is yellow so these were the flowers she choose for me.

Saturday - meeting Granny

My mom arrived on Saturday, it was great to see her. Here she is with Caleb for the first time.

Friday - family tree

in progress, I am trying to help Rachel understand various family relationships and how her 'Bumpa' can be my Daddy at the same time. So we are making a family tree, we made hand prints for the leaves and she painted the trunk now we need pics and extras ( an owl and a tiger - don't ask me!)

Thursday - only an aunty

without kids buys a singing dancing chili for her niece.

Wednesday - out with Dad

I did not take this picture, Gavin did but I love it. They went to the park together today

Tuesday

My girl on her 'scooter bike'. It is a bike without pedals which teaches kids how to balance as if they were on a real bike. Supposed to be better than a bike with training wheels - who knows i can't ride at all, but she loves it and is getting the hang of balancing herself. ( I am finally feeling better and was able to get out the house today - and not for the purpose of seeing a Dr )

Sunday - the reason

why my blog has not been update and some days are missing photo's

these are the antibiotics i final got after being fobbed off at the hospital. I was told my acute pain was just muscular and to take some pain killers - mean while i had a raging infection!

Friday - my boys

Thursday - play dough

Wednesday - in the garden

Tuesday - painting

We are making a family tree so that Rachel can see the pictures of people in her family and how they all fit together. The yellow will be cut out to make flowers on the tree because Yellow is Rachel's favourite colour.

Monday

Daddy and his boy

Sunday

Nappies again...

Saturday

I have taken a photo ( or lots) every day just have not posted them yet

How do i choose

only one picture for yesterday!

You know

you live in a house with kids when....

even your toilet roll holder is made of toy blocks!

Kite fun

Yesterday was Gavins last day home so we went to fly kites

So something not baby related today, these are the leg warmers I am knitting.

Ready

So I know i should not have gotten my hopes up about the baby coming early, But i so wanted Gavin to be here. He leave again on Wednesday at 4am and is not back until the 20th so i am guessing he will miss his boys birth.

This is the birth box in the lounge all ready to go

Rest

Gavin took Rachel to the zoo yesterday so i could sleep and relax. So i know technically i did not take this pic, but I am really greatful to him and wondering how i will manage without him after Wednesday until 20 June!
