And we're off and racing...

Its' been a while, yes... but, you certainly couldn't say its' because I just couldn't be bothered... more, just haven't had time!

And, we're 1!

So, alot has happened, Jessica has turned 1 in a blaze of glory, by well and truly walking around! No more stumble...stumble...fall for this house, no no! Now we're looking behind ourself, walking backwards, picking things up whilst walking, standing ourself up - all this happened pretty much the week before she turned 1. It was stumble...stumble...fall up until then.

And, yes, we did look beautiful at our party in our pretty frock and red shoes didn't we!



Jess was spoiled with lots of lovely gifts from her friends and family, too many to mention here! And, I might add, she certainly seems to love them all!

Next up!

We can also welcome little Henri into the world - congratulations Minda & Jimmy - she is certainly a little cutie! And, a long time comming, which just made her entrance even more anticipated!

And some piccies...

To save having to read gazzillions of stuff about pictures, i'll just put up the pictures that have pretty much been a summation of what's been going on lately!


Jessica's First EKKA Experience - giving the poor animal an unwanted eye examination...

Cousin Zane - now THAT is a cheesy grin!


Jessica very excited by her bargain Unicorn! Isn't it cute?!

...Poser...

Our first piggy-tails... aren't they cute! I know Roz, pink stipey dress and piggy-tails with dingle-dangles... but who could resist??!!



Well, that's it for now, all be good now, y'hear!

Times are a changing

Once again, its' been far too long!

So, here it stands in brief:

Jessica is now 9 kilos (whe're getting there!)

We have hit the crawling stage

Jessica has made her first few steps on her walker! Although, as I'm the 'catcher', I haven't yet had the opportunity to piccy this yet!

Jess has also been pulling herself up to the furniture, and started making her way around things

Toothy grin Jess has now got 7 teeth (I think the 8th may be on its' way soon... lots of drool...)

My first Mothers' Day! That was nice! Got some photos of all the kids with Grandma, but, as Na was in Malaysia, didn't get any photos of my side.



Well, apart from that, it's been all happy families of late!


I've got some new pictures below, though, so I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we've enjoyed being witness to them happening!



This is Grandma and all the grandkids on the Thomas side. Any family resemblance?


One day she might find her dolly!


Yes, we are a bit of a music nut! Jess is a bit of an Elton (or, a Ben Folds perhaps?) when it comes to her piano - she bops and sings - certainly the best toy investment made to date! Although, its' music is, I admit, starting to get somewhat repetitive...


I know, but how could someone resist such a cute hat?!


When it comes to cute piccies, I just had to put this one in! Jess has a new black furry coat, which we wore when we went walking the other afternoon - it was a bit on the chilly side, so at least there was an excuse for her to weat it!

Well, hope you enjoyed, and, once again, catch ya soon!

As time goes by...

Once again, several weeks have gone by since my last update... well, quite a lot has happened in our lives since then!

Mostly, Jessica is getting bigger and bigger by the day! Two weeks ago she hit the 8 kilo mark! She has also mastered many new talents, one of which is rolling her way around the house, and the other is sitting - what a clever little girl!

As for the crawling, well, you could say it many ways, but we'll be clean, and say she 'rocks' a lot, but not with much velocity - in fact, our departure and arrival locations bare a very similar appearance indeed.

The biggest event lately was Jessica's baptism - which was relatively low-key as for festivities, just immediate family and close friends, but was extremely great. Jess got baptised at our Church, and she looked very cute! She even wore a dress!

Jess also had fun playing with her great friend Levi, I missed the photo opportunity of them holding hands, and managed instead to just photograph the 'attack'!

And, of course, Jessica's first Easter! And, she managed to get a whole heap of chocolate, which is very unfortunate, because its' just going to have to be consumed by Mummy & Daddy! The Easter Bunny, did; however, leave a Hello Kitty breakfast set for Jess to enjoy! Jess also had her very first Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race experience! Of course, that's a family tradition that will live on through the generations, and she had fun!

Well, I'll leave you with some photos of our latest flavour, and hope you enjoy!
I'll try and remember to blog a little more frequently, too!

Christmas & Beyond...

Hi There!

I hope all had a good Christmas and New Year! Our Christmas was quite exciting, as it was, of course, Jess's first Christmas! I had much fun opening presents on her behalf, and see seemed to quite enjoy what was delivered for her under the tree!



Firstly, we opened all our Christmas presents at home, then we packed up and went to Na and Dju's for some more festivities... where we got to see Brielle's very special Christmas present, of a Dorothy the Dinosaur Tutu, which I must add, is extremely cute!



Well, we also had lots of fun throughout the Christmas/ New Year period, which involved Dadddy being a bit of a twit too... don't worry, Jess obviously thought it was pretty funny too!



Well, the new year for Damien's family began with a bit of a sad start; and we pray the the year gets much better for them all.

Well, all the best for 2007!

Lots of love,
Mish & Damo
