Bath time

October 11, 2008

Christian:

I can’t believe it; last post I was two months old… now I’m three months old! Where does the time go? Oh well, doesn’t seem to matter how old I get, I can’t seem to escape bath time. Mum and Grandma reckon I love baths, but it looks like Charles is enjoying this a lot more than me!

Oh oh... bathtime!

At least I’m nice and clean now…

All nice and clean!

Looks like someone else needs a wash though :-)

Hmmm... missed a bit!

Guess what?

Christian:

Seems like only yesterday that I was at the hospital being born, and here I am two months old!

The nurse came and checked me over and I’ve grown this much already :-)

I've grown this much!

My vital statistics are 57.2 cm long, head 39.7 cm and weighing in at 5.77 kilograms!! Bye… Mum says I have to have a sleep :-)

Fathers’ Day

September 7, 2008

Charles:

Happy Fathers’ Day to Dad and Grandpa from me, Christian and Dad :-)

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads!

I thought I’d give everyone a ride on my bike, but Grandma and Gucci wouldn’t fit.

Cmon Grandma... you and Gucci can fit!

Check out my loader Grandpa!

Cool loader hey Grandpa!

Be afraid… be veeery afraid :-)

Scary huh!

No Rest!

Charles:

Well that’s it; you blokes had the weekend off, it’s time ta get back ta work… me ‘n Kosta are ready ta go!

Ready ta go!

I had ta let Dad and Grandpa do a bit too… else they feel left out :-) After we ripped all the palms an’ stuff out on Monday, things were a bit messy

Bit untidy!

But by Thursday everything was lookin’ shipshape.

Lookin good!

C’mon Dad, enough with the hose, it’s gettin’ dark… time for a cool drink!!

Enough already Dad!

Working class man!

Charles:

Sorry for the shortage of posts lately, but I’ve been reeeal busy while Mum’s been havin’ babies :-) I had ta help Grandma make beds one day… pretty tiring work ya know!

Making bed's is hard work, OK?

There’s stockpiles ta be pushed up… Grandpa just keeps dumping stuff off!

Stand clear, Grandpa!

Dad doesn’t seem ta be able ta keep the grass down without a bit of moral support from me :-)

C'mon Dad, stop daydreaming!

Then I had ta help Grandpa drill the holes for our new fence… I’m not exactly sure what the fence is for, but I’ve got my suspicions!

C'mon, I've got work to do!

Dad and Grandpa set out all the posts and concreted them in…

Shovel that concrete, Dad!

But naturally I had ta help them with the mesh… even Gucci gave us a hand :-)

Nearly finished the fence!

Everyone reckons I don’t know what this fence is all about… but I’m on it, I tell ya; I’ve got my little mower lined up on the outside of them posts… just in case :-)

My mower's ready ta go!

Getting bigger

July 23, 2008

Christian:

Eleven days old yesterday! and the community nurse came over and checked me out. All’s well, Mum’s been feeding me up real good; I’ve gained 275 grams already… 3.035 kilograms I am!

Three kilos plus!

I dig my Mum… but I do wish she’d pull my other arm out :-)

I dig my Mum

Home, but not alone :-)

Christian:

Well, I was happy to get out of hospital and check out my new home in Knuckeys Lagoon. Charles looks like he’s about to sink his teeth into Dad :-)

I made it home!

Home sweet home… time for a quick family portrait.

Family portrait

Check it out; my very own bed… I’ll grow into it, OK ? :-)

Well, my bed's big enough!

Aaaah, just what I wanted, a good sleep… bye!

Good night!

Mother’s Day

May 11, 2008

Happy Mother’s Day to Mum, Grandma and Yia Yia XXOOXX

A face only a mother could love!

Me ‘n Dad ‘n Grandpa started building Mum a trellis for Mother’s Day, but we hit a few snags… well, irrigation pipes and cables actually, so we haven’t really finished yet :-)

Not quite finished yet!

New fridge :-)

May 6, 2008

Grandpa’s bought me a few new toys lately :-) First he got this groovy rubber track loader; it’s even got a real neat laser guided box grader on the front… grades automatically to +/- 3mm!!  

Grandpa's SR80 loader 

It took Grandpa a while ta get the laser thingy goin’… but after a bit of assistance from me,  it’s all good now :-) ps Check out my flash workin’ boots!

Me 'n Grandpa on the job! 

I wasn’t real happy about all those wires hangin’ around but, as ya can see, I got Dad ‘n Grandpa ta tidy things up a bit… they’ve still got a way ta go though!

C'mon Dad... tidy that wiring up! 

Best thing, Grandpa bought me ‘n Dad a new drinks fridge; Grandpa reckons it was a bit pricey…

Me 'n Dad's expensive new fridge 

but ‘least he got a free loader :-) :-)     

Grandpas's free loader 

Boots!

April 23, 2008

Right, so I’m a bit slow… check out the boots I gotta drag around; you’d be slow too :-) And don’t talk about the grass me ‘n Dad been cuttin!! 

 Check out the boots!

Lucky we’ve got a big mower :-)

Same boots... bigger mower!

Aaah… the photos… that’s what ya talkin’ about… well don’t talk about it any more, scroll back to the Bali posts and “read all about it”  :-)  Here’s a little teaser… “nice kitty cat!”
