My Mum

Just had to post a pic of my mum taken way back in the early 1940's. It's been just over a week since she died and I still can't believe it happened. The last thing she said to me at Auckland airport 6 years ago was "we'll see each other again" Unfortunately, we didn't :o(



My mum aged around 17 - 18

Dance Machine!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HA! I resized the "happy birthday" video I took at Austins school! :o)

Birthday - Pre-K Style

Austin celebrated his 4th birthday at school today. The teacher, Mrs Axtell made him a cool crown to wear in class (Austin was slightly embaressed to wear it infront of everyone)

He got to be the special helper for the day, plus the class sang happy birthday to him "underwater style" Which he LOVED!

I'd post the video I took of the kids singing to him, but the video is a whopping 101mb's!! *eeeks*

Fear not! I also took pictures! :o)

Chris & I snuck out of class while they were singing other songs.

I don't think Austin would stay in his seat & do school work if Chris & I had stayed. So while they were talkin turkey (Yep, the song was about turkey's) We tippy toed to the door and made our escape without Austin seeing :o)

Proof of Craziness

Here is proof that we are indeed slightly nutty.........

Sometimes I expect the men in white coats to show up at our front door :o)

He's Growing Up!

It is hard for me to believe that 4 years ago I was in hospital thinking that myself & the baby I was carrying were going to die.

On Friday, November 28th, 12:37pm at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, CA, Austin was born via emergency c-section.

He weighed 2lbs 3oz and was 13 inches long.

Chris with Austin the day he was born

Both of us with Austin

Austin came home after staying in the hospital for 3 months weighing an almighty 6lbs!!Today he is a healthy 4 year old with TONS of energy!
