No #2

We have decided to try for baby number #2...

How on earth did this come around so quickly?..... Where has time gone?

If we fall pregnant in the next few months, there will be a 3 year age gap with Harry, which we think will be nice

I still need to loose a bit of weight... so hopefully I can still manage to do that before we conceive!.....

Sleepless nights, here we come

Noosa Holiday




So last week we went to Noosa on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, for a family holiday.  It was Magical!!!

We had a slight mishap on the way up to Sydney airport at 8 in the morning, when we were driving along the road and drove over a big block of metal in the road (we couldnt go around it) and it hit the underneath of our car, and burst a massive hole in our fuel tank..... which left us stranded on the side of the road... Not happy....

Fast forward an hour, a  lovely friend came and picked us up and drove us to the next town, where we paid $300 a ludicrous amount for a one way hire car to the airport, and made it with 5 mins to spare for check in.......

It was certainly a dramatic way to start our holiday.  Anyway, we made it finally, and we had a blast!!

Ate, drank, partied, relaxed, laughed, toured, explored, chatted, slept...... A true family holiday!!

Sunday Morning Breakfast









This morning I slept in late.. I needed it, as I didnt get to bed until after midnight....
Elwic got up early for Harry, and then woke me at 9 saying he was STARVING and we had no breakfast food in the house. He wanted to go out for breakfast...... I obliged!!

Opened the curtains, and what a glorious day.... Not a cloud in the sky! Beauty!

We decided to go to what is known by the locals in this town as "The Muffin Shop" at Mossey Point, which is about 15 mins drive down the coast from us.

We stopped by our friends house to turn off their electricity at the mains, as they have gone away on holiday and forgotten.

We drove to the Muffin Shop, which is set amongst bush in a little unsusupective suburb next to Broulee Beach

The Muffin Shop



They do the most divine sweet and savoury muffins, and the best coffee.

We sat in the sun, drinking coffee and watching Harry play, and had the best muffins we have tried in a long time.   I really wish I could get the recipe for their savoury spinich and feta muffin. 

One of the best Sunday mornings I have had in a long time!!

So much to do

There is so much to do when it comes to moving, but alas I am a pro at this now, so pretty well know what needs to be done.
This move will be the first move where we pay a moving company to do it all for us!....  It will be such a releif to know that people will just come in, pack everything, and take it away, and then it will be delivered to our doorstep in NZ!!  Fantastic !!!!

I'm tempted to get cleaners in to do a final clean so I dont have to trudge through 3 storys of house with a toddler who likes to make things dirty

We are in the process of sending all our forms and papers away for the visa.  We are hoping it all happens really quickly, and we can just get over there.

Going on holiday next week, which will be really great.  We both need a holiday, and are so looking forward to seeing the whole family!!!

The monkey is being a gorgeous boy.....  trying hard to please us... although he really knows how to put it on!!...

Looking forward to him spending a bit of time with the family too..... They miss out on so much, not being able to see him regularly. 

I have eaten way too much chocolate today... I blame it on stress.......now I am full of regret!....
