A relaxing day out

Anyone with a few kids (especially littlies) knows what a nightmare it can be to try and get out of the house.



Obviously Murray and I were suffering from memory loss cos we thought we would give it a shot on Easter Monday.


Can't be that hard can it?? lots of others do it ! after all what's so hard 'bout chucking the kids and assorted accessories into the car.......... Delusional huh? probably but we needed to 'get out'



Anyway we made it to Fremantle, I think half of WA had the same idea cos the whole foreshore area was packed. Absolutely gorgeous day though, kids had a ball kicking the footy around in the park and then we went to Kailis for tea.

PP class pet whom he had to 'babysit' for the weekend

Liam and Dad patiently waiting for tea to be ready.














Molly, who knew that just hanging on to the soccer ball and not letting go would really get up her brothers noses.

The boys " hey no arguing with the Ref ! "

Nothing like an ice cream on a sunny day hey Molly?


Ya know what ?, all the hassle and busyness of the afternoon were well worth it, the kids loved getting out of the house for some 'fun'. They have had a really stressful past year and I think they needed it as much as us, hopefully we will get to do it more often and get back into the swing of it.


Hope you all had a great Easter as well.






Cheers, Connie




P.S please accept my apologies if you originated from the Netherlands and happened to hear someone yell " Hey look mum... Dutchies !!! " that was my 11 year old son yelling out the car window when he saw some fellow Free Reffies.

Big blessings in a small bundle

Murray and I are quite amazed at the sheer difference in Harry in just 4 short months. It seems like only yesterday that he was born so tiny that we felt like we were handling a fragile doll, then he became critically ill and lost even more weight. We so very nearly lost him, man I don't think we have ever prayed so hard. Thankfully God is stronger than anything this world can dish out and carried Harry ( and us) through that very difficult time.




Look at the difference in 4 months !!












The day after he was born, 5 lb 2 oz hardly a handfull for Dad





Then in Neonates ICU in Princess Margaret Hospital where he stayed for 2 weeks.

To our Little Man as he is now, we have started him on cereal already to try and help with his reflux, hopefully this will help him keep more calories down !

Truly a ' Happy Harry'

Harry's deep and meaningful conversations

Harry is a baby who thrives on someone paying Him a bit of attention, make eye contact and you are in for a deep conversation. He just loves to babble away especially to his brothers and sister.

With his great grandfather ( Murray's grandpa) on the day he was baptised. There is 92 years difference between the two of them.

With Opa

With big brother Christopher "Whaddya mean you'll give me $10 to be a Dockers supporter??"

"Dude it was this big.... honestly"

With big brother Bruce

My sad sense of Humour

I know I know , I have a sad sense of Humour but I get a giggle out of this pic everytime I see it LOL

The sometimes ramblings and goings on in our lives.

Hiya all

Nothing to see here....... not yet anyway. I have a dream that one day I will have a spare 5 minutes to set this up properly, hopefully that day comes soon and we can share some of our family stuff with you.

Of course I will need to get some updated photos of the kids cos poor old Harry didn't make it into this photo taken in Kalbarri.

Cheers for now

Connie ( and the rest of em!)
