the THINKER!!!!!

Joshua the thinker as Rikki titled this on his blog! A very cute picture taken on Rikki's new phone; not a bad resolution.

A recent pic (stolen from Rikki's blog) of Simeon Luke. Growing very fast and we're looking forward to seeing him here in Queensland in just 2 weeks......yep that means 2 weeks till Ellie's wedding. VERY exciting. 

Ellie at her Hen's party.....creative Lauren made this very beautiful veil, combined with the lovely satin dressing gown for the night (to match Jordy at his boy's night out!). The girls had a pyjama party; watched DVDs and pampered themselves. Anisia catered with a beautiful lasagne. 

Although Ellie says that Lily is ugly, she still cuddles and loves her. 

Mother's Day thankyous............new windchimes from Ellie & Rikki, cat book from Anisia, and my beautiful Lily from them all. 

Picnic in the park for Mother's Day 2006....... 

Tested out the new Banrock Station carbonated white shiraz.....better uncarbonated. Omni Citrus definitely better if you like a bubbly! 

We enjoyed a special Mother's Day (14th May 2006) together. We first went to church, then down to Main Beach (Australia Fair in the background) and had a Devonshire tea for morning tea, then Korean BBQ for lunch, and some special together time. 

Enjoying our Korean BBQ. We've perfected the art! 

Another celebratory drink....... 

Congratulations Anisia

Yep....the new car has arrived on May 13th, 2006. Anisia has bought herself a brand new Toyota Corolla in a darker grey than my Yaris. We're very proud of her. She has worked hard to get this point to afford a beautiful new car. Part of the fun in getting the "TOYOTA" jump right is in the timing!!!! You should try it sometime. It's very hard to catch the in air shot. This was one of many failed attempts.

Oh what a feeling!!!!!!!! 

After the first drive in the driveway.....83 km on the clock. 

Apologies to my sister Elizabeth, but this is such a spectacular photo that I had to steal it from her blog (see lizwingard.blogspot.com) if you want to find out more about her wanderings. This is taken on a trip along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria and what remains of the 12 apostles. 

Anisia took time out from car hunting to go to a friend's birthday party. No.....she doesn't usually dress like this to go to parties! It was an 80's night and the local op shop provided a cheap outfit for her. 

Ready and set to go...... 

Is it to be goodbye Sylvia??? 

Hmmmm....another new car? Is this Anisia's new Toyota Corolla??????
