A lot happened this week! I am excited about flying again...

Zac is excited about this huge picture of a grasshopper at the zoo...



And Amira is excited about sitting on the dog!



Seriously, who doesn't like dog riding...?!



Nana stayed with us for the weekend which was wonderful. Micheal sent a present for Zac - a remote control helicopter! I have never seen the entire family - husband, kid, baby, cat AND dog - so fascinated by something!



Here it is hovering above Gunny's head. It is so tiny and light, but yet quite stable. Incredible!



It has even survived a few crashes, luckily Gunny was able to repair it.



Here we are... I am tickling Zac to make him smile... all he does these days is Blue Steel!



The kids mucking around. It is soooo nice to have them playing together.



Here is Amira discovering that she can stand up by herself! Look Mum... no hands!



This last photo is from two weeks ago when we caught up with Zoe (Gunny's cousin) and her daughter Polly who is a lovely happy baby and 3 months old. The girls look almost the same size!! Here are the girls having an "ET phone home" moment!

May we present Peter and Dorothy, whom we have just named official God-parents to both the kids!



We had a lovely BBQ dinner Friday night to celebrate and even Wilson was there.

Here's Amira in a dress that Jac bought her 30 mins after my 19 week ultrasound...



Amira has moved on from Zac's chairs, and now uses the dog to help her walk around!



She just loves Tayla. Angel is too hard to catch no matter how fast she crawls!



Gunny took the kids for a catch-up swimming lesson on Saturday while I got to stay dry for a change! Zac is always waving at Amira in the next lane and checking out what she is doing.



Amira can't believe I'm photographing her when Gunny didn't put her swimming top on!



Double trouble in the cubby house! Amira loves going up and down stairs and also tries to do slippery dips by herself.



As if the kids hadn't seen enough water this week!



Amira loved crawling around in the water and Zac had a great time squirting, jumping and sliding.



Me and my little girl. I can't believe how quickly she is growing up!

This week we were visited by some friends from Victoria!

Here is gorgeous Tahlia having fun out the back.



All of our cute kids in the one spot for 30 seconds! Zac is trying to hug Amira, who would rather investigate these new little people.



Renee and I figured if we put them all in the sea shell, we might have a few seconds to get a photo...



But Nate is pretty quick!



Other news this week... Zac talking to Auntie Jac about her new shiny red bike! "So... V-twin... red... and you say it's got carburettors?"



And Amira models the latest in Baby Havianas! Now she's all set for summer!

Another busy week. Happy 1st birthday to Jessica and congratulations to Iain and Hayley on their engagement!

I am supposed to be back at work 3 days a week, so Amira promptly came down with tonsillitis to keep me at home with her! Here she is, all drugged up, mucking around with Zac in his new Yak Yak Yak t-shirt.

Our clever little girl is even managing the hippo walker on floorboards! She is so delighted with herself and loves an audience.



Finally, our Face Of The Year photographs from Impressions photography! Anyone wishing to support these cute faces can vote for them in Rundle Mall on Sunday, 2nd December.
