30 Weeks and counting....

30 weeks down - 10 to go!

How time has flown by whilst growing a bundle of arms and legs inside me. George is making its mark with a lot of movement felt both inside and visible to the outside world - very alienish to watch your belly do acrobatics!

Tea at Matt & Kara's

With our usual Sunday tea hosts having a family reunion with half of the family, the other halves got together for our own reunion. We also mixed in a few other family members in Michael and Bec Wiese (nee Grosser) and Kara's sister Andrea.

For some reason Michael and Steve always miss out on doing the dishes at their own home, but are eager to volunteer to do them at other people's houses....go figure..

Kara is making the most of it and finding as many dishes as possible!

Keep scrubbing boys......hehe!

(We will keep this photographic evidence to remind us that our husbands are actually capable of doing chores about the house)

Hollie's Hens Afternoon

With one Excell married off, we have another following closely behind.

Cousin Hollie and Brian get married next month and to celebrate the girls got together to give Hollie a big send off and to remind her just exactly what shes got herself into.....

The mandatory Hen's games, dress the bride in alfoil, garbage bags and other household items and pick a winner.

So much to choose from they look so stunning, which dress will it be that Hollie walks down the isle to??

And the winner is.......... Hollie's!!

Doesnt she look gorgeous, Brian will flip when he sees her in this!!

Playdate with Kida

On Saturday morning we were delighted to be having a playdate with our closest and so far only, (Excell side) niece Kida, with a smile and wave goodbye to Mum Narelle we were off on adventures around Aunty Lou's house. Fergus was eager to play and show Kida around outside, we checked out the chooks and collected the eggs, went for a wander around town to the park and even did some shopping at the Mundulla Store.

Kida teaching Fergus the fine art of fetch

'Now I throw it and you bring it back, ok?'

Kida loved the picture of Uncle Steve and his truck on the fridge,

I think she was wondering how a load that big could still be legal.....

'I think Im missing something........thats right my cowgirl hat!'

The biggest challenge for the day - The Monster Slippery Dip

Ready.......set.........GO!

'WoooHooo! Lets go again!!'

After making it back home again after a morning of adventures around Mundulla,

Kida was all tuckered out. A sleep on Aunty Lou's bed was just the ticket.

Thanks for coming Kida! We had a great time - lets do it again sometime!
