Christmas and New Year 2011/12

This Christmas was spent in my folks' and actually felt like Christmas for a change, what with  having Bubs properly here, opening his presents and toddling around the place.


He loved my Mum and Dad's fridge, constantly going in there to weight lift several pints of milk (at the same time!).


New Year was spent with friends in Steve and Helen's with all the kids running, falling, crying, screaming and laughing!


I've got to say that Bubs was most certainly dressed for the occasion.


We had such a lovely Chrimbo and New Year - big shout out to my Mum and Dad, and, Steve and Helen.

A selection of videos and photos of the party for your perusal, but before then, a quick look back at the day he was born.




















By the look of it, Lucas wasn't impressed with his owl cake.

Easy Rider, indeed!


Thanks to everyone who came to Bubs' big day and apologies that not everybody could be invited. Maybe next year we'll hire somewhere bigger to accommodate us all.

Skirting boards

After almost a year of not having them, the skirting boards (7" Torus) have finally landed! Oh man, people take skirting boards for granted!


My Dad, with a small amount of assistance from me, started fitting the new skirts.


Special thanks to Aud and Les for all their hard work...the cheapest labour in town! 


One of the nicest weekends I've had in a long time. Bubs loved it.


There's just the small matter of painting them now!


Some before and after pics.










Lucas' sweet moves!


He's proper walking!
