A visit with Jack

Yesterday Ma ma had the pleasure of Jack coming to visit for the day. Now that Jack is on the move & crawling, (had better get some video evidence) Ma ma is finding lots of things need to be shifted, hidden or just got to be played with. It's all fun!
Look Ma ma, I am standing. (and I did it all by myself) Clever aren't I !!!

Singing along to the nursery rhymes. Old Macdonald's farm. note: Jack chewing on the cow! (Ma ma is having to re learn all the songs again.)

BBQ at Mr & Mrs Hop's

Sunday evening Rabbit & Sue had a BBQ for some of the 4x4 travellers who will venture up to the Flinders Ranges late Aug 09. Ma ma & Pa ventured along to see who's who & to get a good feed. Mrs Hop is the 'hostess with the mostess' Plenty of good food & good company with some laughs added for good measure.

There were a few morsels for the 2 girls, Spook & Mindy

Spook enjoying her usual spot in front of the camp fire. Why sit on the cold ground when you can have Dad's comfy warm lap!

Gathering of the Clans

On Sun 17th May we had the great joy of celebrating the Baptism of our 2 dear little boys, Jack & Toby. It was a great day to celebrate with the Excell, Olsen & Heinrich Families. Kara's parents, Marg & Andy Olsen travelled from Qld & so did brother Richard, Sally & children Thomson & Ruby. Nana & Pa Altus were able to come along as well. It was good to have Nana out to join in on the celebrations.
