Trains with Pop and Fishing with Daddy

Well it is only a couple of weeks now until William and I along with Nana and Pop head off to England to see everyone. William has been talking with Grandma and Grandpa on Skype - we have to clean our screen from kisses!!!

We spent Easter on Phillip Island and Paul and William caught the most expensive Trout we have ever eaten - entry fee, fish fee and cleaning fee - WOW - but loads of entertainment and excitement for William - I keep telling Paul - it's not about him anymore!!!!

William spent the day with Nana and Pop recently and he had loads of fun playing trains with Pop in the shed - watching Thomas, Annie and Clarabel chuck along the track with squeals of excitement.

William now knows how to climb out of his toddler bed and stands at our bed at 5am saying - Daddy, Daddy!!! Oh No!!! He has been teething again which has meant some sleepless nights but hopefully it won't be long until they are all through.

Dargo was a washout this year - it rained for most of the time we were there and William burnt his hand on the camp toaster - after an hour of crying and "sore Mummy" he calmed down with the help of some panadol and a good sleep, then he was off exploring in the river with Paul. He had second degree burns on his hand but it has all healed up now.

Oh No William - they found us!!

That's really interesting Pop - so how does it work exactly!

Trains with Pop - learning the ropes!

Oh Thomas!

Thanks Pop -that was lots of fun

Quite contemplation - it doesn't last long!!

OHHH - look at me Mummy!

It's my turn for the rod Dad - we all know I can catch better than you!

Finally we caught a fish - the most expensive Trout we have ever eaten - (from the farm of course!)

Aunty Susan gave me the ice cream beater - Yum!

Oh No - Messy Mummy!

Riding on Dad's shoulders is always fun

Can I stop posing now Mum?

Riding in Muck is always a treat - and often difficult to get William out - usually kicking and screaming!

William's Latest Adventures

William has been busy over the last few months learning loads of new words and phrases, moving into a toddler bed, giving us sleepless nights (which are slowly getting better), getting more teeth, having two year assessments at the hospital (which he has passed with flying colours), going to the zoo with friends and attending birthday parties as well as trips to the beach.


I don't know about this Thomas, I think we might get into trouble - you go first!

Christmas & New Year Adventures

We have just come back from 2 weeks camping in South Australia on two of the most beautiful beaches, Coffin Bay and Memory Cove.

William had a absolute ball - he caught his first fish and handled many others - not scared in the slighest. He ran on the beach with the other kids - got very very dirty in the soft powered dirt and learn't loads of new words.

He has two new teeth, got an infection in his toe and on his hand from cuts which both cleared up really quickly and slept very well snuggling in at the end of each day, rising early for more adventures.

He tried Abolone for the first time and prompty called "more" to the delight of the crowd. He charmed everyone in the group with kisses and "nigh night" and waves each bedtime.

Paul made a birthday cake for me and William licked the mixer whilst covered in dirt. The in car DVD player was worth every penny - William was great for the 18 or so hours it took to get there and another 20 hours back!! He did better than me, that's for sure!!

He had loads for adventures, but I'll let the pictures tell you the rest - Enjoy!

I think I'll be a fisherman like Daddy, but Mark caught this one!

Shall I give him a kiss Mummy?

Thanks Mark - I'll take it from here!

Can I wind it in now Daddy?
