Visit to Ava

Thursday was a busy day - we also popped over to visit Kate and Ava. The awake photo is about 10mins of the visit - the rest of it is captured pretty well by the other photo!

Yo, Tadhg is in da house

Mother's group at Eves this morning. First photo of the 3 of them!

CPRC play date

This was a day of missed photo opportunities - Neither Zoe nor Marina made it into a picture, despite the playgroup being held at Marina's place, and Bronte slept through the whole date (how unusual!). But Connor did get his first taste of custard (which he liked).

Home from work

This is the greeting Tony got after his first day back at work. Not too bad to come home to!

Off to see the ducks

Sandra, Tadhg, Bronte and I took a lovely walk around the Gap today, including a feed at the duck pond (both the ducks and Bronte had a feed). Tadhg loved the ducks. Unfortunately, we both forgot our cameras...

6 weeks old!

On Monday Bronte was 6 weeks old! She went to the paediatrician and then to the botanical gardens to celebrate. Her measurements are now 4950g (about 75th %ile), length 60cm (>97th %ile), head circumference 38cm.

Next door for cuddles

It is surprising to see Simon smiling however after England went down... again

Liz's 50th!

It was Lizzie's birthday Saturday night, and Bronte charmed them all with smiles and no grizzles for 3 hours. Ali won the cuddle battle with a total of 4 - she didn't leave Bronte's side all night.

Visit by the cousins

Catriona, Gabby and Annika came to visit on Saturday. I can't believe Gabby had stayed away from her for so long.

Triple trouble

Tadhg, Bronte and Ava - all awake and happy at the same time!

Baby Ava!

Kate is in town with the beautiful baby Ava - who is currently 11 weeks - just under 6 weeks ahead of Bronte

Up the coast

On Tuesday we went to Mudjimba where Bronte experienced her first feel of the sand and the sea.

Granddad pops in

The pre-bells cuddle for my 5 week birthday

Chilling out at Nanna Bears

Smiles for mum

Zeta, Meg + Rosie

Wood fired Pizza

They have installed a wood fired pizza oven at the farm - of course we had to try it out!

Watching Daddy cook

Tony cooks his Carbonara in Zeta's new kitchen. Remember - no cream.

Down at the farm - Friday

On Friday we went down the coffee farm. Tony played in the Devil Dog golf classic, while Bronte and mum hung out.

Happy Birthday Al!

Happy Birthday in San Fran!
Unfortunately, your beanie didn't fit Bronte - too big a head already - but I think it looks good on Teddy

Beer and oysters

It has been a while....
We went for a nice walk - and bite to eat - at Southbank today.

Benjamin Chase & Bronte

Mat Chase and Tony grew up together - then Ben and Bronte were born 3 days apart at the Mater

Visit by Dean

Neville teaches Bronte to cycle

I've got a cunning plan...

Boys and their bubs

Tadhg came over to watch the Lions win again - of course we had to put the ears on him...

Lunch at Grandma and Granddads

Then roast lamb lunch at the grandparents.

At the markets

This morning we went to the Rocklea markets and met up with Nanna Bear and Cousin Vicki

A walk in the park

Today we went for a walk around the old botanical gardens. As per usual, Bronte slept through it - but Jack was there to provide entertainment, including making Roger trespass into the rainforest section to collect his ball.
