Day 290 - Curry and Chutney

Tonight we had a curry for dinner. The curry wasn't anything that fancy (although, a pretty good chicken tikka) but we tried out two of Glenda's chutneys with it, on the side with a few poppadoms.  The first was a kiwifruit chutney, which I wanted to try because I never would have thought to make a chutney with and then also an extremely zesty lime one! Both were gorgeous and really made our curry!

Day 289 - Dale's Great Shot!

Dale is my guest photographer today, because although I took a heap of photos today, this one really stands out to both of us, even though we can't quite put our fingers on why! Obviously it isn't posed, but it is somehow by a fluke, well composed, none of us is looking at the camera, but rather, we are all involved in doing something of our own. Henry is busy playing; I am trying to coat him in sunscreen, Jenna is reapplying her sunscreen and I think Glenda may be taking a photo of Henry. I love how the sky behind us is bright, yet cloudy as well. Great shot Dale!

Day 286 - More Packing

So another night of late night packing the car for a weekend away; this time down south to Eden to visit Dale's Mum, Glenda. How do you pack your bags? Folding or rolling? I tend to roll and find that you can fit more in and it wrinkles less. Handy tip for young players!

Day 99 - Things Never Stop Around Here!

Ohh - Day 99! I admit that it isn't a very exciting picture for the day, but as per usual it was another flat out weekend! On Friday night we knew that Dale's Mum, Glenda would be coming to spend Saturday with us, as she was arriving for my sister-in-law's (Erin's) Baby Shower and so after an exhausting end of term the day before, we got up to clean and get the house in some order! About lunchtime we all went out for some lunch and to finish buying baby shower gifts (no I hadn't had time up until then!) and in the afternoon it was over to Jess' house for her baby shower. This was followed by dinner down at the local club where the above picture was taken. Henry was holding the carrot in his hand which would have made a far better picture, but I think he was getting tired as he kept dropping it. I realised about this time that I hadn't taken any photos all day, so Dale whipped out his phone and this one was taken.

Day 71 - Henry Meets his Great Grandfather

The reason for our trip to Melbourne and Wonthaggi was for Dale's Pop's 90th Birthday. It is amazing to think that there is roughly 90 years difference between Henry and his Great Grandfathers ages! My own Nan always enjoyed having photos with as many generations in them as she could, so I took one of Dale and kids with his Mum and her Dad!

Day 11 - A Visit from Nanna Glenda

Henry and Jenna had a visit from their Nanna Glenda today and today's pic is a little happy snap that I took when they were playing together on the floor.  It was about 5pm and Henry was getting a little grizzly, leading up to his evening routine, but as usual at around this time of day, he is much happier when given a cuddle. Not long after the pic, Henry had a little meal of mashed pumpkin, a bit more of a play and then his usual bath, pjs, feed and sleep.
