The decision to build

Well as you can see by the timeline to the left, our decision to build was made quite quickly. We have decided to build with Boutique Homes and have chosen the Promenade35 design (which is no longer available).

Our block of land is in the Heritage Springs Estate, Pakenham. So far, our experience has been excellent. Both our Sales Consultant and Pre Start Consultant are fabulous.

We have had a delay with the land being titled but the developers can't control mother nature! We are still seeing progress even though they are battling against a wet weather (even in summer).

My new Kitchen and Molly is getting bigger

I have been very slack with updating the blog thank you to all those who keep reminding me!

Miss Hugh Heffner

Here is the before and after shot of our new kitchen which I just love! Can't say my cooking has improved!

Molly has four teeth now!

Granny knit me a Peter Rabbit as big as me

Overdue Update

I have been a bit slack lately...... Molly has two teeth, I have a new kitchen, therefore Andrew has a cute baby and a happy wife!

Check out Molly's Ralph Lauren's that Naomi bought her!

This will be the only time I will ever make Molly wear a head band....

Molly helped Granny and Popsy pick a butternut pumpkin out of thier garden

and a smooch

Bubby School

This is Molly's second week at bubby school. She has settled in really well. She has already made a friend called Martin Ling. They laze around in the rockers together and touch feet. Molly's back pack is nearly as big as her.

We have also started making way for the new kitchen so the long weekend turned into a working bee.

Molly had to wear protective goggles

Notice that Dean is doing all the work?

Shazza & Dazza

I would like to introduce you to Shazza and Dazza. Apparently mullets are back in according to Upper Gully's mini bogans!

Stay away from my Molly!

It's all about Molly...

Molly is still cute and has been up to all sorts over the past few weeks. She has started swimming lessons, eats pureed apple and love just hanging out with her Mum.

How cute am I in flanny pj's!

Eating... and other cute shots

This week I let Molly try some Farex Rice Cereal. After a few days, she is now opening her mouth and wanting to eat it.
I have learnt:
1. Don't let baby put hands in the mouth when eating rice cereal
2. Don't encourage baby to babble when eating rice cereal
3. Don't be sitting in front of baby if she sneezes when eating rice cereal

The Silly Season

Well that's it for another year people... my Mum and Dad trekked over here for Christmas, Michelle and Jimmy joined us for New Year and Molly was oblivious to the whole lot!

Look closely, Miniature Santa is sitting on the chair waiting for people to get their presents

Thank you for my dolly

and my book

and ALL the other presents!

Grandma and Popsy had to remember how to dress a baby

The Borts went to the Healseville Sanctuary for the day... it was hot but we were tough.

Nicky was pretending to be a koala on Uncle Andrew's back

So we look after "their" kids, "they" can look after ours

NEW YEARS EVE... Cocktails all round. The majority of photos are not appropriate to post on the blog. However, William is seen here enjoying his mocktail.

This photo demonstrates that the adults should have been drinking mocktails as well

Very shy family

As you can see from the pictures scrolling through below, "The Borts" (an inhouse family name) are extremely shy people. We hate when there is a camera around!

Our Trip to Canberra

Friday morning Molly and Mummy set off to the airport for their big adventure to Canberra. Daddy left his work trip in Sydney to join us just for the weekend.

William and Nicholas are Molly's cousins. William on the left informed us that Molly is a girl because she doesn't have a doodle.

Molly doesn't really like meeting new people but she loved Uncle Jimmy and Aunty Michelle.

Michelle and Andrew have a disorder over catalogues. They both LOVE them and both need to look at ALL of them from back to front before they are thrown away.

This photo had to be taken from the waste up... William did not have any pants on. A picture can tell a thousand words!

"There's a baby in my belly!"
