Easter weekend wedding

A beautiful Easter wedding weekend for Tory and Paul at Wiseman's Ferry... the family scrummed up quite well and the backdrop of the Hawkesbury river was beautiful. the boys particularly enjoyed the BBQ the following day at Tory and Paul's place - a easter egg hunt, the billabong and acres of bush to roam.

30 March - visiting mum and dad pre chemo

This visit was not a lot of laughs, with Dad's final results coming in and preparation for his chemotherapy to begin. CC tried to raise a few smiles at the hospital but we were all a bit tense with Dad still in pain.

Dad commented that she's obvious a very smart baby - not only reading at 5 months, but reading in french!

mossie bites

So when we arrived back in Australia we were alarmed when Celeste developed a crazy rash overnight, it was everywhere! At first the doctor thought it was 'school sores' perhaps caught from the baby cot on the plane. it was only on a second doctors visit that it was discovered that the 'rash' appears after the nights i left the bedroom window open and were in fact mossie bites! the last picture was taken at the Open Air cinema in the Botanical Gardens - with Kate and Matt.

Around March i think - it was still a bit chilly for babycakes. she had a little intake of breath when we went in x

first swim in pool x

Me and C at the Ian Thorpe pool in Ultimo. Crossed wires meant that we didn't meet up with the mothers group, but we enjoyed thewater and the heated pool in particular. Celeste wore her first pair of swimmers a retro pair of pink floro bloomers x
