Sanda Claus

The other day we were getting the boys into the car after the beach. We had rinsed off, but Jackson apparently still had some sand on his feet. He looked down, and in his worried voice said, "Oh no, Mommy. Look, Sanda Claus got me." I'm still laughing. I love my little boy.

Playing catch up

Our last couple of weeks....

1. Jackson helped hang the washing. It kept him occupied for quite awhile.

2. Sam bought me my favorite flowers.

3. My boys relaxed together after church. Love it.

4. Owen turned 6 months. He started sitting and crawling. He started really interacting with Jackson. They laugh together a lot. He finally grew a tooth. He weighed in at a hefty 6.2 kg, or 13.6 lbs. We started feeding him more.

5. We finally went to the beach. Sam took Owen in first. He was crying less by the time Sam brought him out. Jackson on the other hand could've stayed in the water for days. He loved the waves. No fear.

7. Things that happened without photos:

Sam and I went to our first (okay, my first) Rugby league game. It was so much fun! We are looking forward to many more.

We went into the city with the kids. Jackson was pretty excited to ride the bus and had a great time at the museum, on the ferry and just running around. Brisbane really is beautiful.

We had heaps of rain. It rained and rained for about 2 weeks. We are still getting it off and on. We really need the rain, so it's a huge blessing. But we sure were happy to see the sun again.
