We celebrated the start of Spring with a stay at home weekend, baby sitting Nellie the beagle while J & J & baby Ella enjoyed their first weekend away at Coogee. We tired Nellie out with lots of walking and garden mulch spreading in perfect Canberra Spring weather. We so enjoyed the novelty of being quiet little homebodies that we even resisted going to a (cut rate) advance screening of Lady Chatterley's Lover at Dendy. A Saturday afternoon spent reading and snoozing was too appealing.
We enjoyed a visit from Big O and little A for Father's Day. Big O loves going through the same routine every visit: setting up Rob's old wind up train set and his surviving 50 year old Matchbox cars, building towers with the 25 year old wooden blocks (no lead paint; they were manufactured in Australia), eating a selection tof the food on offer, checking out the parrots and filling up the bird feeder. This afternoon the added attractions were watching Nellie do her amazing ball catching act and blowing some bubbles in the back garden.
Little A loves standing up now and moving himself around with the help of furniture and grabbing peoples' knees. He learnt "up" and "down" today, bobbing up and down with a big cheeky grin on his face to show he knows which is which.
Josh came and picked up Nellie tonight after a great weekend at Coogee. Although Ella has a cold and was not always in the best of spirits while driving and shopping they had great weather and great dining (including their favourite Than Bhin at Cabramatta) and they loved the experience of staying in the apartment for the first time.

Really glad that you're enjoying the new Sydney home Judy!
Was thinking the other day how much you'd enjoy another blog that I've been reading recently:

Quite similar in style to yours I thought, blogging about family life and whatnot. Have a look at the second story down particularly.
