Hello everyone,
Sunday the 29th March 2009 was a very special day for us. It was Lily's 2nd birthday and we also had Jack dedicated to God too!
Here is Jack in his lovely outfit for the occasion waiting patiently on Daddy's knee.
"I got to go up on the stage," says Jack "and Mummy and Daddy made promises to teach me about Jesus and take care of me. I think they do a good job!"
Our Pastor, Chadd did the service for us. Dar (Rohan's Dad) did the bible reading from Mark 10:13-16 and Pa (Amanda's Dad) said a prayer for us.
"Daddy put together some photos of me and Lily up on the big T.V." says Jack. Yes he did and it was a lovely presentation. "Thanks Daddy!"
"This is Mummy's friend's mummy, Pat. She gave me nice cuddles."
Lily says, "The whole family was there. It was great! These are some of them. It was my birthday too and we had a party after Jack's dedication. Mummy's friend, Aunty Treenie gave me this awesome guitar. I was dancing with it and really love it!"
"I got all these nice presents. Thank you so much everyone!" says Jack. "I wish I could play with them. Lily keeps wanting to play with my toys but Mummy says she has to wait till I can. I wish I knew how to move and get them."
"This is my party. Daddy says I'm 2 now and a big girl. Mummy made me a great cake with princesses on it. I loved it! All my family were there except Aunty Nellie and my cousins. Poor Aunty Nellie got bitten by a red back spider and was sick. My Mummy tells me to never ever touch spiders coz they bite. We have lots of spiders were we live" says Lily.
"This is my friend, William. He came with his mummy to my party. He is fun to play with. We played pass the parcel. Everyone was laughing...I'm not sure why.....Will and I loved opening the parcel and getting the things inside. My party was at Wentworth Falls lake. I love it there. There is a pirate ship you can climb on with a slippery slide."
"Daddy, Dar and Aunty Kirsten cooked sausages and we had a sausage sizzle. I love sausages."
"There were balloons in the trees." Lily says "I'm not sure how they got there. I don't think they grow on trees!"
"My family and friends gave lots of nice presents for my birthday. Thank you! I love playing with all my new things", says Lily.
"This is my brother. I am so proud of him", says Lily.
"I don't know why i keep getting put on a pink lounge. I don't like it!" says, Jack.
"Nana and Pa have just come back from PNG and are home for good. I love Nana and Pa."
Lily says, "This is my friend, Holley. Mummy she is a really bad influence. :)"
"This is Holley's sister, Jenna. We like to just hang out. Her Mummy and Daddy came to visit us as a surprise for Daddy's birthday."
What a proud Daddy!
"What?!!?"
Cuddles with Aunty Katie. Jack is now 4 months old. He is very cuddly and a happy boy. When he is on his tummy he has been trying to push his body forward but hasn't quite figured out how to move his arms too. It's funny to watch...he pushes his face and head into the ground!
"I love to play with Jack. I wish he could run around with me."
Lily is 2 and has a very bright, vibrant personality. She is doing very well with her words and is finding it easier to communicate with us. It's great knowing what she wants (most of the time). She loves to play with other children and know she will enjoy it when Jack can interact a bit more. She smothers him with cuddles and kisses all the time. It's lovely. Lily can count to 10 and is learning her colours. She likes the wiggles, high 5, vege tails, pooh bear, and more. She is still a very mouthy child and sure enough anything left around has been in her mouth. She likes to draw and play with play dough. She also loves to read books too. She can be very cheeky at times and there is certainly truth in the terrible twos! We are teaching her things like: crayons are not for drawing on the new Tv. And the candle wax must not be rubbed all over the piano keys. :) She is a good girl (majority of the time) and always likes to help around the house and with Jack. She is a ray of sunshine in our house, as is Jack.
"I love my Mummy!"
"I don't know about this Aunty Treenie lady!"
Aren't they beautiful!?
"I love swimming!"
"This is my big bed. Daddy says I'm such a big girl!"
"Granma and Dar have goats at their house. I love to visit there. They also have bubby chickens and cows." says Lily
"My Daddy is a funny man!" says Jack.
Lily says "My friend Will is fun to play with. This is my see saw."
We all went on a holiday to Queensland a couple of weeks ago for a family wedding. We will put photos in the next blog. The kids are such a joy in our lives and we thank God so much for them.

"I love ice blocks!"
