Australia...

Lucian's first meal ever in Australia - and check out that beautiful Aussie sun on his face...
Uncle Joshie and Auntie Anna spend some time practicing with Lucian...
He thinks they are pretty funny - but he still managed to get away...
Jasper with his amazing smile
The Swaab boys (minus Michael) walk down to Coogee Beach.
In Newcastle we catch up with all the "kids of cousins". Here we have Seb(astian), Jack, Dom(inique) and Isla.
Stopping for a feed and drug 'em break.
The Benadryl worked like wonders...
Isaac was following us in the Lorry of-course. Ancle Bob had to help him out of the truck.
Then Isaac wanted to help move the cartons of beer...
Lucian loved the beach at Coffs Harbour...
As does Poppy - Rach's youngest girl - who is so much like Rach when she was a girl too.
Such a great shot of Mark and Lucian. I just love it.
Pop Pop again. Such a cutie.
Ok, Ok, So I think having a little girl wouldn't be so bad - if she was like Pop Pop...
Dad and Lucian again.
Isaac tries out for the Life Savers...
Isaac loved to listen to Angus play the guitar. I think the song was about cows.

Cuddles with Nanny

Lucian pop's in for a while...
Mark in the inflatable canoe - Only Mum could buy that..
The boys liked it more on solid ground.
At the Eumundi Markets Isaac decided that the gypsie life was for him. And he loved the carousel.

What - It doesn't go forever...
2 Rides? Thanks Dad...
Isaac picking one of Nanny's cherry tomato's
And trying to figure out what it is...
Christmas Morning - waiting for Uncle Josh and Auntie Anna. Isaac was very good.
Pressie opening begins
Mark makes the Bloody Mary's.
Anna, Aiden, Isaac and Nanny.
Emiel, Jasper, Lucian, Bianca and Zamira.
Christmas pandemonium.
Smiles with Jon Stalhut at Thanksgiving...
Isaac learns how to "Sssshhhhh" Mum and Dad... Nice....
Lucian opening his birthday pressies - hard to believe that a year has already passed!. Look at the smile... Of course Isaac thought all the pressies were for him.
Thomas train from Nanny and Grumpy.
Auntie Selena and Uncle 'Teve came and had cake for Lucian's birthday. Selena had to grate the chocolate drops for ontop of the cream. It was a chocolate cake and Lucian loved it.
The boys in their birthday crowns that they made with Anna, the Nanny, while Mummy was at work that day.


The first snow and Isaac decides to go for a drive.
Yummy...

General Pics...









Oopps - It's been a while... So lets start with Halloween 07



Isaac dressed up as Nemo and Lucian as Squirt - the baby turtle - son of Crush for those of you who know the movie as well as we do!!!


After trick or treating in Huntington town we came home for Pizza with Aiden, Dana and Mark Delfino. It was a fun evening...

How time gets away...

Isaac and Anna do arts and crafts every day and they did my hanging for the front door. It wasn't until after it was completed that they realised that it was the wrong way around. I think it adds to the charm.


Mark and the boys with our pumpkins. Isaac helped to pick the big one and hand selected the smaller ones himself!


Meet Anna. Anna is our new Nanny (like we need another Anna in our lives!). We absolutely love her and she loves our boys. My house has never been in better order and she loves to do projects and play with the boys. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Krissie and Sean Miller have just moved to NYC with their gorgous daughter Olivia. Olivia just turned 1 and is 6 weeks older than Lucian. They came to visit and meet the boys and we all had a ball.


Isaac flying with Daddy.


Lucian is crawling everywhere. And now his newest trick is to pull himself up. He started to truely crawl at around 10 months so we think he may walk before Isaac (who "truely" crawled at 11 months and walked at 15 months). We aren't stupid - we aren't hurrying him!!!
Lucian is just about as clean as can be. I caught Lucian in the washing basket when Anna brought him (and the washing) upstairs one day. He loved it!


Isaac is a huge "Cars" fan so mummy bought him some Lightning McQueen slippers. He has P.J.'s waiting for when he does Peeps or Poops on the potty.
