Time for an update......

So its been a while since the last post and so much has happened within that time. 

Here are a few snaps to get you all up to date.......

Cuddles with Aunty Julz 

Beau & Leyla 

All the Grandkids together with Old Pa, Ma ma & Pa

Beau pondering his new surroundings

On one of the many rainy days we had whilst La was visiting we succumbed to the persistent whinge and let them play in the rain.

It was well worth it - soaked right through!

Bear Beau

Chillin with Dad after footy training

Storytime with Old Pa

Like all the grandchildren to be born into this Heinrich family, they all get to put on the family cardy before passing it onto the next....

Steve was wondering why Beau was dressed as a girl........ 

love my boys xx 

After a long day it was all too much for Beau

Family Fun

Homelife is back in full swing at the Excell house, Beau has slotted in perfectly and Toby loves to play with his new 'toy'

Introducing.......

Master Beau Lachlan Excell

Once Beau realised I had almost started to get myself organised and started to think about giving birth sometime in the next 2 weeks, He wanted to put a spanner in the works and get out early, made for a bit of a dash around between contractions packing a bag for hospital!

Brothers meeting for the first time

Toby went to bed Monday night and woke to find Ma ma and Pa at his house and Mum's baby was out!

Beau's bed of choice for the moment, until Aunty Relle comes home with the bassinet 

Morning cuddles with Big Brother Toby

Big Boy Toby

Toby has become a real man about the house just of late, amazing how quickly my first baby has grown!

All dressed and ready to go to footy with Dad in their matching shirts

With just a few weeks to go until but #2 arrives we finally got Toby moved into his new room

The Computer is only a temporary addition

We'll be able to stack the kids in here, both beds have a trundle

Yay all finished!

Painting time

It is finally time to get painting, firstly a base coat and then its on with the colour.......

Getting there....

Oh and another update of the expanding belly, 

36 weeks down 4 to go!

Pa to the rescue!

After listening to one daughter complain of not having any water because a pump wasn't working, the very next day Pa was over with a replacement pump to ease all my concerns.  

Pa and his apprentice taking off the old pump

Toby making sure Pa does it right

Last check on Pa's workmanship and it was all set to go.

Thanks Pa xxxx

Uncle Glen's 60th

With every major birthday the Altus clan get together to celebrate the milestone in style, good food, a few drinks and great company. Uncle Glen's 60th was no exception with many ales downed with some friends and family

 (and a good scattering of ankle biters!)

Kiddies table full of nutritious chicken and potato

Then it was off for the kids in search of some snails - none were eaten (that we know of.....)

Thomas on the other hand may have consumed a great deal of dirt!

Back to Glen & Merri's for some cake and afternoon tea. 

Thanks for a lovely afternoon! xx
