I love these moments

I love these moments.

Having family sitting on the couches, telling stories, making each other laugh, eating good food, and just enjoying each other.

My Granny is visiting at the moment, Uncle Chris and Aunty Tammy (and of course sleeping Max) came for supper. Nachos mmmm.......

My Uncle's fishing stories, Max making noise and being hyper (love that cutie pie!), Granny being tired and talking with her eyes closed.

I love these moments.

Maxie boy

It's been a while since I posted about Max. He is s such a sweet little baby! He has slept over here a couple of times and it was so nice, the one time I woke up to my Mom putting him down next to me, so amazing!

He comes to us on Tuesdays and Thursdays so that my Aunty Tammy can go to work. It's just for the morning, but it's so nice to have a baby in the house, it's like having another little sibling!

I love my new little cousin very much, he is growing so fast and is almost not like a baby anymore. I just wish that Paige was here so that we could enjoy him together :( Max is such a little blessing.

Women's day hike to Elephant's Eye

Ok, lots to catch up on! Lets start with Women's day! Being a public holiday, the whole family got invited to hike up to Elephant's Eye with the Whytes (our soon-to-be neighbors). It was my first time going up there, and I really enjoyed it. I don't have much to say, but here are the pics :)

It was amazing to just be out in nature praising God for His beautiful creation! For a while I just walk but myself on the way down, the moms and boys behind me and Josh and Dad in front of me. I just stopped and really took in the beauty around me, creating a mental photograph, a really special memory. My mom taught me how to do this when I was really young, I have done it 4 times, they are things and moments I have never forgotten.

Sixteen's sweet!

Last Monday was my big brother Josh's 16th birthday! It was such a nice day! I love having an older brother, he's the best :) We started the day like we start every birthday in our home, piling into Mom and Dad's for presents! I love this tradition, and one day when I have my own family, I will continue it. Josh got great presents, and lots of sweets!!! Mom always makes something special for breakfast on birthdays, and our new favourite is crumpets (low GI for Dad) with syrup and bacon, yum!!!!

Later on the Solomons came for tea, crunchies and chocolate cake :) For supper we went to the Cattle Baron in Tokai with Uncle Chris, Aunty Tammy, Oma, Opa, and Tori. it was a really nice evening :)

So happy birthday to Josh, my favourite big brother! Here's to 16 being sweet!
