We're still alive!

Hello blog world! We are still alive and kicking just been a bit busy of late! Which is a good thing really as it means that my secretarial roll for our business is slowly getting bigger and bigger! :)  Here are a few photos of our munchkin man who really isn't a baby any more! He definately has a lot of SHMUCK mixed in with a bit of STUBBORNESS and a spoonful of CUTENESS going on and makes us laugh every day! More updates to come soon xoxoxo

THE BIG ONE!

Happy Birthday Levi Jacob! Wow, how time flies! Can't believe we are already celebrating our baby's birthday! Feels like only yesterday that he came into the world and yet God has blessed us with one whole year together already! Levi is such a beautiful, happy, healthy little boy and we PRAISE Him for his continued care of all of us! Thankyou to every one who helped us celebrate - we got so many text messages, emails, cards, gifts, phone calls, skypes, kisses and cuddles- it was very much appreciated! You have all been such a big part of our little man's life over the past year and we thankyou from the bottom of our hearts!  Following are a few (come on Sylv, be honest, it's actually 30, you obsessed mother you) photos of the BIG day :) We had a great time, ate lots of cake, fairy bread, frogs in ponds and LOLLIES! Sorry mothers whose children didn't sleep that night ;)  Love from us three xoxoxo

Early morning present giving :)

Cheeky monkey cake for a cheeky monkey :)

 Des and I slaved over it the night before! Pretty proud of our effort!

Cutting, eating and smearing cake! What fun!

 Playing with Eamon and Kayden

 And then there was fairy bread!

 For dinner mind you! Shepherds pie got the boot..

 And fairy bread moved in!

 Only because its your birthday mr :)!

 Opening the Tonka truck from Opa!

 It's about 6pm now and he thought a rest in the back of the truck would do nicely!

The Haul :)!

 Yippeeee! Look at all my presents!!

 Such a spoilt little boy! Thankyou!

 'Aunty' Demi and Connor came up on Friday after Connor's big Op to celebrate!

Cheeky little monkey...

Autumn Glory!

Carmen arrived on Wednesday and since it was such a gorgeous day on Friday afternoon we decided to go to Hollybank for a little stroll! It has to be one of des and my favourite places to go in autumn and although we may have been there a little early for the true display of colours it was still glorious! Much to des' amusement i made him 'stop and take a deep breath' because the woody scent was truly devine! (has anyone else noticed that the older you get the more things you start doing and saying like your mother- something you swore you would never do?!!?! :) Seriously though we had a great time, so lucky to be able to spend time with our little sis!

  

Grape picking with Opa!

On Saturday Levi and I went grape picking at  'Opa's' vineyard! Dad has been running the Entally Estate Vineyard for quite some time now and has managed to produced an awesome crop of delicious grapes ready to be made into the wine we will drink if we decide to fly Qantas to our next holiday destination!! We are very proud of him and his team of workers and I couldn't resist taking a few pics! Mum, Oma, Uncle Colin, Elyse and heap of other volunteers helped pick about 4 tonn in 3 hours- now thats ALOT of grapes! 

The plot that we picked

Oma and Elyse hard at work!

 Dad and his grapes!

Levi was DETERMINED to help pick something....

so he tried his hand at leaf picking and eating....

 and nearly tipped the pram over trying to climb up and reach! Such a little shmuck....... :)

 He was also the foreman making sure all the pickers were up to the task :)

 Mum having a go!

And THEN.... he got to ride the tractor with Opa!

 "Mum, stop this photo taking nonsense, I'm trying to work here woman!"

 "Man, this steering wheel sure is heavy Opa!"

The view on the way home.. Just magical :)
