Family Photos

We have shared some lovely moments as a family and we have some great photos to remember them. We thank God everyday. We have been richly blessed.

Soccer and all things fun...

We all went to the soccer together. This was Thomas' second international friendly match that he has attended live. That's pretty good for an 8 month old... My Nan knitted a beanie in the colours. So cute! We had a pretty good time, and Thomas has good photos to remind him of how great his parents are... :)
The latest match was a friendly against a Brazilian team and it was pretty good. It was put on by the Qld department of multicultural affairs, and was an "against racism" game. So we went along with banners flying and shirts on, and had a really great time.

Daddy's Boy

Thomas is such a picture of Carey. In every way he is like his Daddy. He is outgoing like his Mummy, but pretty much everything else including eyes, smile, face, temperament, and, yes, football team. He has a blues outfit too but he's only allowed to wear it if Daddy's gone to work already...

Quality Time

Now that I'm back at work part-time (blechhhh...) the time I spend with Thomas at home has become really special. When I was on leave, every day was great, but I didn't realise just how special those months were. Now whenever I get the chance we have some time to ourselves, whether at home or at the library or out at lunch, and I just take it all in and realise how amazing he is. I also want this for Carey too, as Daddies often get forgotten in the quality time factor, and I try to make sure they enjoy play time together. The other week, when I normally go shopping for weekly baby stuff, I just stayed home and enjoyed my baby. He's great. And I took him to Daddy to visit too.....Play time for Thomas and DaddyMummy and Thomas being silly
