Feeding time


Thought that family at home might like to see this pic. We have started feeding Euan earlier than we are supposed too but he loves it and its not causing any probs, feeding time is a big hit in this house. We are using rice cereal and he has tried a little mashed banana which he hated and a little apple juice which he hated, the rice cereal goes down well. Its very hot outside today so we are just staying indoors, I was going to take Euan too the pool but its just a little too hot to go out. It is however just as hot indoors, so we have lots of fans on constantly. I am catching up on some tv that I have taped, some trash like make me a supermodel which i love and catching up on merlin aswell which is really good.

Have been on the phone to Natasha this morning had a nice conversation and then had a good chat with Davina who I am meeting tomorrow for a walk around, picnic in and ? swim in stanely park, its supposed to be mega hot aswell.

Spanish Banks Beach



Today was Stevens last day off before going back to work, his 2 precious days off fly past so quickly so we try to make the most of them while we are here, roll on Stevens 3 week holiday I cannot wait. It was pretty nice today so we decided to go to the beach and have a dip in the Pacific. We got there and set up our spot, we all had some lunch and then we went for a dip in the ocean. It was pretty muddy looking but nice and refreshing. Once we had finished went along to West 11th Ave and went to Rangoli, its a cafe attached to Vijs Indian restaurant and we bought some take away to heat up later. We also had to buy a new carseat, why are they so expensive its rubbish. $355 later we come out with a Britax Marathon and came home. Steven and I are settling down to our yummy Indian, Euan is in bed. We put him into his own room last night so will head to bed shortly and watch a movie. What a perfect day!!

I am excited


So my friend Jen is coming round at 7.30 tonight to babysit for Euan, we will have him bathed, fed and in bed so hopefully it shouldn't be too bad. I cant wait its going to be the first time out the house without the wee one since my parents were here in early March. I am currently cleaning and tidying got to make the house look reasonably good. I have my dress picked out, need to shower, put on makeup, straighten hair then organise Euan. We are not going out for too long for dinner, then maybe walk along the beach, we will see. Really looking forward to it.

One night out in 5 months not too bad. Stevens parents come over in September so going to have a few nights out then too, yay for in laws coming to visit.

Its very hot still 30 degrees most days and its going to be like this for a long time, the house is so hot we really need some air conditioning, just have to make do with the fans at home.

Quiet time


I have been to the pool with Euan, Jen, Harris and Freya it was nice, were there for a little while then all the kids needed to nap so came home. Its super hot but so nice, Im so thankful to be having all this time off for such a great summer. Euan has been fed, played with his new favourite toy and he is now napping (nap time during the day is such bliss). Thought I would update the blog and now going to read for a little while and have some lunch until he wakes up. This maternity leave is awesome I am already dreading going back to work.

Pool again

So its Monday almost 1pm and going to the pool again, its supposed to be around 30 degrees today wow how hot. My friend Jeniffer and her kids Harris and Freya are coming around to play in the pool today so we are going to have lots of fun!

Sunday, July 19, 2009


Ok so Its Sunday, I hate Sundays, everyone I know spends time with there partners and family, my husband is working and my family live 10000 miles away. SO I spend my Sundays primarily on the internet, and looking after my son Euan. Today has been ok so far, got up fed Euan and then fed myself watched the playoff of the British open in Turnberry and sorry to say Tom Watson lost! I have since spent some time skype ing with parents and now on the internet again.

Not sure what I am going to do today, I really should go to the supermarket but its just so hot. Euan is napping right now and I think when he wakes up we might take a walk up to our pool and have a little dip. I am lucky enough to have a pool in the complex in which i live its fantastic.

Anyway off for now, will blog again tomorrow.
