Picture Catch-Up and Spring Has Sprung!

I just got the pictures Mary took while she was here, so I'm going to add a few of those in here, along with my newest post.  

We only have 4 days left here in Ipswich, so we've been trying to get everything done "one last time!" before we're gone for good.  Add that in with being pregnant and feeling sick, and also trying to pack and organize everything for the move (so that Andrew doesn't have to do EVERYTHING at the end), we've been quite busy!

.....And I started writing this post more than 2 months ago!  I didn't finish it (obviously) before we went to Canada, and the computer stayed in Australia with Andrew, so I couldn't finish.  But now its not many days before Christmas and I'm determined to catch up the year!

For Elly's 2nd birthday we took her and Charlie to Inflatable world, the kids are HUGE fans of bouncy castles!  So it was a very fun and tiring while with them trying to go on everything they could in their 2 hours! Those two are fearless! 

Charlie was really happy Mary and Brian left their seashells so he could make a road with them!

Baby Cahoon #3 is on its way!

For Fathers Day we made Andrew a feast!  Roast chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, beans,
carrots, corn on the cob and homemade buns!

And for dessert we had angel food cake (specially imported and hidden for this occasion!)
with whipped cream and berries! 

This is Charlie with his transformers!  He has a great imagination 

Fairy Bread at playgroup - its bread with margarine and sprinkles, and I'm told its a
staple at Australian kids birthdays - Charlie and Elly love it!

Springfield Lagoon

Last time to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary!  Andrew had a day off so he got to come too!

I promised the kids we could get happy meals and go to the pool, but the pool was closed!  So we went down to Riverheart Parklands to the splash park and playground where we ate our lunch in a treehouse! 

This picture is a little dark, but Charlie loved it!!

During school break they had an animal show set up at the train museum with all sorts of cool things
like birds, snakes,lizards and even a baby crocodile!

The theme for train museum playgroup was 'working on the railway' so Charlie and Elly
were quite thrilled with the tools to play with!
