Random Photos

Have a couple of photos to post from the last couple of weeks, the first one is a picture of what Jasmin calls her "Bling" bag. A bag she puts some of her jewelley and hair accessories in (I stress some, as there is no way she could fit all her bling in the one bag). The bag looked so beautiful hanging on one of our doors:


Nan bought Jas a Fred Bare pinafore last weekend as well, from a great shop in Goulburn called Humpty Dumpty. Here she is ready to go to preschool in her new pinafore:

The third is a picture I took of David last weekend when he took the girls to the park to play. He looks so good now - having lost 16kg since the start of the year. The girls enjoyed a brief play at the park, it was bitterly cold even though the sun was out.





We have just got back from visiting the eye specialists in Sydney, turns out Dave has a "Dense" cataract on his left eye, and the surgeon who operated on his last one, did not feel confident about operating on this one - so we had to see a second specialist. He was also very nice, and I guess the good news is that he was happy to operate on it - and would actually do it under a local in day surgery and use a block to stop his eyes from moving. A bit of a relief given how sick the general made him last time. Overall a tiring day on Friday - driving around Sydney. All booked in for Dave's surgery on 23 July though, so relieved they can fit him in quickly. Doctor said he might as well be blind in that eye at the moment, so vision is pretty poor.

We stayed with Mark and Michelle and the boys in Sydney, our second catch up for the year. They are hoping to come and see us next. Dave and Mark took the boys and the girls to football games on Saturday as the boys all play rugby league. Poor Michelle and I were convalescing at home, having drunk a suspect bottle of wine on Friday night which obviously did not agree with us - it was a white which instead of using the normal preservatives you use in white wine, used Fish oil and a milk thingie. It obviously did not agree with us though, as we spent the next morning being sick with symptoms like food poisoning! Needless to say, we will now be checking the back of the bottles of wine to see what preservatives are used. The girls had fun anyway, running around - Eliza was covered in mud by the end of the day, having fallen over in a couple of puddles!


It is now 11pm (and I only just managed to get Eliza off to sleep), wasn't too keen to go to bed given she had a 2 hour sleep in the car on the way home from Sydney - and she is getting more teethies - her eye teeth I think, she is not real impressed, poor thing has been sucking and chewing on her fingers! She was lying down with me the other night - I had given her a teething ring to chew on, and she put the ring on her wrist and said "Bling Bling Bling". Think she has picked up the lingo from her sister the Bling Queen.
