The Tooth, The Whole Tooth

Quite an exciting event for one member of our family transpired this week - Miss A lost her first tooth!  It was actually quite a drawn-out process, it has been wobbly for weeks, and the new tooth was clearly visible growing up behind the baby tooth.  The new one has come in quite crooked, due to the stubbornness of the baby tooth taking it's own sweet time coming out, but I expect it will move into it's proper place in time.  It's been a busy year of "teething" in our family, Miss A has cut a couple of molars, and this new one, and Master R has been cutting teeth for a few months - the earliest out of the three children.  Here is a picture of Miss A proudly showing off her new gap, with the new tooth coming in...and a few more pics just for fun.

Christmas 2011

On Christmas Eve last year the uncles, aunties and cousins from the "Cole" side of the family met up and enjoyed a great time together over a picnic lunch (even if the weather wasn't so great).

A Walk in the Park

We like going to a few of the local parks or the beach on Sabbath afternoon if it's a fine day, just to have a stroll and enjoy some quality family time.  L has fun with his camera, sometimes he takes a couple of hundred photos of just one outing - the joys of digital photography.  There are so many nice photos that get taken on such excursions, here are a few of them.

L and I just noticed how uncanny it is that these two photos show the boys in almost the same facial postion, the tilt of their heads and the expression on theit faces are almost the same.

This one is blurry - because I took it - and a photographer I am not

Miss A loves posing for photos, and with an amatuer-cum-semi-professional photographer for a father she gets plenty of practise!

This photo is one of L's favourites

This is a nice "action" shot

This photo and the one below were taken on Miss A's 6th birthday - we went to the beach and had breakfast (pancakes) on the beach.

This is the photo we used on Master R's dedication certificate

This one was taken on a recent trip to Hervey Bay.  The children enjoyed a very l-o-n-g walk along the pier.

All Dressed Up

Occassionally we take photos on Sabbath morning while the children are dressed in their church clothes, and send it as an SMS to their Poppy in a "Happy Sabbath" message. Because I love dressing up the children for church I'm going to share some of the photos we've taken.

There you have it

Photos of the newest member of the family

 Okay, okay, so he's not so "new" anymore, but he is still the newest member of our family, so here are some photos of Master R.  To keep the blog in sequential order, these are older photos, he's much bigger, and...different....now.



 

It's seems like so long ago that he was sleeping in the bassinet.

 

It's also hard to remember him being this bald :-D

Such a cute face
