Recent photos of the children.

All is well here. We are enjoying the beautiful Queensland winter weather. Winter is definitely mine and Neil's favourite time of year.

We are currently living at my parents place while we sell ours. We have already had one contract crash but we signed a new one at the start of the week with some new buyers. So keep your fingers tightly crossed.

Bradley has been diagnosed with a phonological speech disorder so we have started seeing a speech therapist. The prognosis is good but it will take time, hopefully by school age he should be on the right track. But he still remains the most happy content and well behaved 3 year old you could meet.

Jessie is bursting with personality and is going to be trouble! She is starting to talk but is still enjoying shuffling on her bum rather than walking. But she will be walking in the next month.

Here are some photos Neil took of them last week in Grannie and Grandpa's garden.

Holiday and birthday!

After many requests we are off again with the blog!


Jessie is growing up fast and is full of fun, we get the feeling we might be in for more trouble with her than her brother! She is a great sleeper, rarely waking.

Bradley has just turned 3 and is a real sweetheart but as his speech is improving his attitude is growing! He attends daycare once a week and seems to really enjoy it!

Neil and I keep going running the business and going to work! Keeping very busy and always having a list of jobs to be done!

We have just spend a week at Coonarr which is between Woodgate and Bundaberg, about 3 1/2 hours north of us. We luckily got to use some business friends holiday house. The house was lovely and the local beach amazing but unfortunately the weather not so great. We had a couple of days of sun at the start but then rain, rain and rain! Thats what you get for heading north in the rainy season!


We had a train ride in Bundaberg botanic gardens.



The local beach which was about 2 minutes from the house.















The second day we headed to Woodgate and the boys tried their first father son fishing outing. We did have fish and chips for lunch but not hand caught by the Paskin men!





We had a dry 20 mins for a short walk at Elliott Heads.





We managed a couple of hours without rain to visit a reptile park.



The holiday house and Jessie and Brads in it!









On the drive home we had a break in Gympie at a very cool park!






When we got back it was Bradley's 3rd birthday, we had a fire engine party in one of the local parks. After a rainy day it cleared up just in time. We played with bubble guns, pass the parcel and Neil's homemade fire engine pinata. A good time was had by all and Neil's very impressive fire engine cake was eaten.

update

Just a quick post to show you some up to date photos of the children.

Neil is now out of his brace and his off work for one more month to get strong enough to return to work.

The weeks are flying by, Jess is now 3 months old and is doing very well. She is very smily apart from when she is crying! She is a bit of a cuddle chops but is getting better but she is a good sleeper at night.

Our photogenic son in the bath (spot him when he's angry!)









After delivering a picture we took Bradley to a park which was fun but unfortunately headed in tears with Bradley falling from the ladder!

Another bath shot!



We went for a lovely walk on the beach, even on a cloudy winter day it's beautiful!

Last Friday we headed to the home and garden expo, Bradley liked the kids area, not sure I was ready to be dragged in !





Neil has been busy building this beautiful outdoor chair for Bradley with some scrap timber. It is amazing!



And last but not least some father daughter shots especially for Neil's mum!
