Meggie looks so cute in this picture!

At Burleigh Beach yesterday...

what's goin on...

Duncan has 2 wks off work now, for Christmas, which we are so exited for! He loves taking Meg and Lauren to whitewater world at dreamworld (its practically up the road), we got 2 yr passes, so we go there at least every week now. I keep him busy with little building projects for around the house too, right now he is making a kids size valet for their costumes to go on.

He is the first councillor in young mens, and enjoys mucking around with them every tuesday night. He is really great at it. Last sunday we were all at church early together, and i thought it was so nice to watch him prepare the sacrament, made me love him even more!

I dont have a calling yet, they let me just fullfill my motherhood calling for the moment, which i am grateful for, because that is work enough!
I love being in Qld again, near all our family, its great to do so much together.

I was also just with all my extended family on Dads side, as my beloved Grandma just passed away this past week. my sisters and i flew to Sydney for the day, to be at the funeral, and when i went in to see her, she had the most beautiful, peaceful, happy look on her face. i will miss her so much, but know she is with Grandpa again, and that is the most wonderful thing. I look forward to seeing them again one day soon...

Naomi is growing up so fast, she is 9 months old this month. she is crawling fast, and climbing on everything, and walking around the furniture. wont be long until she is walking on her own. she is a very happy baby, and goes along with anything, which is good, because she really has no choice! the is the most easygoing baby i have ever known, she is an angel. she has two bottom teeth, and getting her 4 top ones at the moment. she has her moments at bed time where is seems to bother her, but she is really good. we love her to bits and couldnt be without her, or any of our girls for that matter.

Megan turned 2 in september and is progressing so much quicker now. she is saying sentances, although she has a little lisp and mumbles a little bit, but she is getting better and better. she loves to play with her sisters and her favourite movie is tinkerbell. she recently got a tinkerbell costume, which she loves. she has a typical 2 yr old temper, but is generally bubbly and happy, and has the cutest giggle! she is very shy around people other than her family, and wont stay in nursery yet, but hopefully when our ward splits it will make the nursery smaller, and easier for her to adjust.

Lauren had her buzzy bee concert at the end of November, the theme was disney, therefore Winnie the Pooh for her group. It was really great, and she was so brave and danced really well. We are very proud of her. By the time she had finished all the practices, and the concert, she has had enough of it now, and has decided to choose piano for next year. There is a lovely lady in mum's ward who teaches, so hopefully she will enjoy it, too.
