Little Indianna Rose!

Michelle and I visited Leah and Little Indianna Rose in hospital today. She was lovely! She slept the whole time and we didn't get a cuddle, maybe next time! Georgina is still sick, but she is slowly improving. She has another tooth coming through. This time, on her top gum. Andrew felt the top tooth coming through tonight. I hadn't felt that one yet. Georgina has gone to bed with panadol but still seems to be suffering from sore gums. I have just perfected making shortbread biscuits. Afew nights ago I made pecan and cinnamon shortbreads. Tonight I made lemon and craisan (dried cranberries) shortbreads and cinnamon and white chocolate shortbreads. Andrew will need to take most of them to work so I don't eat them all!

Qantas Photo's!

These are some photos Andrew posted me. He had to take a contractor around for a photo shoot on Qantas grounds, and they took a few photo's for him. I thought they were pretty good. Nana looked after Georgina again today, but she had her work cut out for her with Georgina sporting a nasty cold. She was a happy girl most of the time, despite her miserable state. She is happily snoring now with her blocked nose. Hopefully she is through the worst of it.
Hooroo

Nana Comes To Stay!

Nana has come to stay! She has just had a lovely day looking after Georgina.

Sabbath at Nan and Pop's!

We just spent a lovely Sabbath at Nan and Pop's. Georgina went to Beginners Sabbath School and then we all went to church. Georgina was tired, so she went for a nap in the cry room during the sermon. Mum and Dad invited Errol & Jean and Gwenda & ______ and Sheree for lunch. We had a lovely afternoon chatting. Andrew and I headed home around 4pm. We made a slight detour to Dolly's place. She kindly loaded me up with navel oranges from her tree. Georgina slept all the way home in the car even though she missed a feed. All's quiet now, Georgina headed off to bed about 8 o'clock.
Cheers

Georgina Loves To Read!

A few pics of Georgina reading her favourite book, that her cousins handed down to her!

Georgina's Antics!

These are the latest pictures of Georgina getting into mischief!

The gums have it................but the teeth are on their way!

Last night I made the amazing discovery, Goergina's first tooth was coming through. I have not seen it yet, just felt it. Tonight, I think I felt a second tooth. So much for long blogs.

Speedy Gonzales... I mean Speedy Georgina!

Greetings to all those who are interested in the details of our exciting life! Georgina has now become very speedy on her knees. She managed to chew on a gum leaf while Andrew was looking after her on Friday. She also managed to pull the cord out of her intercom ( she foiled herself, now we can't hear her cry). Yes well, we plugged it back in. This morning, while we waited for Andrew to wake up, Georgina showed Mort her knew speedy knees. Mort was sitting quietly by the back door, thinking he was going to get a sleep (inside), it was coooold outside, when Georgina got on her speedy knees and made a bee line towards him. Mort's eyes just about popped out of his head! The last time he looked, that little baby was harmless and couldn't move! I caught it all on camera, with Georgina making tracks towards Mort. Mort finally disappearing behind the lounge chairs to a safer location. A good day was had by all!

Georgina's new trick!

Georgina latest trick is not only standing by holding onto her music box, but also letting go with one hand and turning around. On most occassions, Georgina spends most of her time looking out the window at the birds and the sky etc, but this time I decided to leave her music box on the carpet facing the door. To my great amusement (and Georgina's) Furgus was waiting at the door, wanting to come in. Georgina thought this was most entertaining. and I managed to snap some good photos.

A new car seat!

Georgina spent the day with my neighbour, and had a really lovely day. I think she especially liked going to school with Sarah and seeing all the other children. Because of this we had to buy Georgina a new car seat. We got one on sale. It will now be our spare car seat in case we travel somewhere or if Nan and Pop need it for their car sometime in the future. Georgina was curious about the box, the car seat came in, but I think Furgus liked it better! This can't be a long blog because I'm meant to be doing housework while Georgina is sleeping!

Fun and Games!

Well, Mothers Day has come and gone. Mum, Andrew and I had a beautiful meal at Gemelle's in Liverpool. Goergina was on her best behaviour at the restaurant. Andrew was complaining that he was only a father for about three hours of Father's day, because Georgina wasn't born til 9o'clock.I had a busy end to the week. I was called in to work on Friday. So Andrew was home with Georgina for the day. On Friday morning we were getting a lot of phone calls and Andrew left the phone on one of Georgina's pillows. When he turned around she was dialing a number, I should say pushing some buttons. I taught her how to do that the other day. Andrew rushed over to Georgina and said oh no she's phoned someone. Don't worry, I said she was just phoning Nan to try and get her to come over. Where's Nan?!!! Andrew got to stay home on a lovely rainy day. Just the kind of day you don't want to leave the house! Georgina is up to all kinds of things now. She pulls herself up on anything she can find. And her crawling has gone from dragging with both arms to proper crawling (most of the time). Andrew had a few funny incidents on Friday with Georgina swallowing half a reem of paper (not quite!). She also had a falling incident where she knocked her head on the corner of the sideboard. She has a small bruise to prove it. Georgina caught Furgus today. Grabbed a handful of fur, but Furgus made a quick escape. Better go and fix some dinner.

Mother's Day!

This is for my mother on Mother's Day. Not that she thought I did any terrible things... At least I don't think so..

A True Grandmother

A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.

Sabbath at Parramatta!

It was a quiet start to the day with everyone sleeping in (including Georgina)! I didn't have to teach at beginners Sabbath School so we just arrived for Church. Georgina had lots of cuddles from Fida and Magdelina. It was children's church today. They did a great job, with songs and skits. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it all because Georgina needed a feed and a sleep. We stayed for the Mother's day lunch and I caught up with afew other other Mother's and babies. Georgina has started poking her tongue out all the time. She has a funny little point on the end of her tongue. I didn't know who's tongue she'd inherited, Andrew thinks it looks like mine.
Hooroo for now,
Keryn

Wonderful Wednesday!

Wednesday is always wonderful because I don't have to go to work! This morning Georgina and I dropped Grandad off at Campbeltown station to go home to Victoria. Mind you, we almost didn't make it, because I slept in and only woke up at 7 o'clock. Georgina was still asleep as well! Never the less, we were still out the door by 7.05am and made it to Campbelltown Station in plenty of time! On the way home we hit about 45min of traffic, because of an accident on the freeway. Georgina was not very impressed about having to wait for her breakfast until 8 o'clock! All is well now, with Georgina sleeping and me catching up on some schoolwork.
Hooroo,
Keryn

Casula Central!
May 6, 2007

Our place could be likened to a railway station with all the people coming and going. We've had Grandad coming and going. Nan coming for her two days of baby sitting. And Nana and Poppi coming just to stay and enjoy the quiet ( I hope they got some!) We have enjoyed having them all and Georgina has happily smiled a winning smile to every Grandparent. The other exciting thing to happen last week was Georgina's crawling. Although she is not exactly lightning Larry just yet, it is quite amazing to see her slowly take more control of her arms and legs. She crawled over to Poppi and asked to get up, so I returned to find Georgina and Poppi having a chat. Monday is almost here so I better head off and get ready for another busy week. Cheerio!

Its been a long time between blogs. Good intentions and all that... Anyway here I am again. Its Saturday night and Andrew, Harry and I have just polished off half a loaf of banana bread... Andrews says BANANA CAKE! Since my last blog, Georgina Victoria Hope was born on September the 3rd 2006. She is now almost 8 months old! Let me introduce you to my beautiful daughter!
Goodnight
Til the next blog

Tour De Casula!

Hi all!
This blogging is getting to be a habit! The Tour De France is all the rage in our house as the tour winds into its second week. We are glued to the T.V at 6 o'clock everynight to enjoy the next stage. We also keenly follow the map to see if we have visited any of the towns along the way. Andrew is riding in his own tour, TOUR DE CASULA. One 4 km lap around the local roads and he has got his time down to 8 minutes. Today was an eventful day with a day out on an excursion with my class. The students all enjoyed themselves and we arrived exhausted back at school. Parent/Teacher interviews are coming up next week. I am looking forward to speaking to all the parents, although not the long cold night in my classroom. Better head off to bed for some rest and relaxation. See ya!

The Exploding Woman!

Andrew has just reminded me that I am now 33 1/2 weeks pregnant. Although this fact is hard to ignore when you feel like the exploding woman! Its good to be back at school and busy planning this terms program. My students are very excited about an excursion we are going on tomorrow. The Wollindilly Heritage centre plans excursions based around old fashion tasks once normal within a household. The students have to clean clothes with a wash board and attend an old fashion school etc. One of my students was keen on giving me a quick quiz from a book he found in our class library. He was following me around trying to find a question that I couldn't answer. His first question "What is the most popular sport in the world?" was an easy one, considering the world cup. Secondly, " How many months does it take to have a baby?" well I clearly was counting down the answer to that one! At this stage he was quite sure that teachers knew the answers to everything! He was about to be disappointed or should I say delighted. "Is the earth completely round?" And I said" yes"! Well, he was quick to tell me the earth was slightly flat at the north pole and the south pole. So much for knowing everything! Well I better sign off and do some serious work for a Wednesday night. Chow!

Sunday Musings

This is becoming a bit of a habit as I learn to manuver my way round the blogspot layout. The morning started with a late rising (10am) and a leisurely chat over breaky. This is the last day of holidays, tomorrow it is back to the maddening pace. Although this does not sound appealing it should give benefits of a better nights sleep as exhaustion can cover many an ache and pain. There is a lot to do today like: a writing program, washing clothes, marking books, cleaning out the fridge and some other things I haven't thought of yet. I doubt many of them will get done as I am very busy relaxing on my last day! The morning started quietly and was raised to a new level when Andrew proceeded to tell me he had gotten a pass for his subject (just viewed over his uni site). At first I did not believe him, for he rarely tells the truth. So I went to have a look for myself. Sure enough after figuring out what all the letters stood for ( different from my uni days) I finally figured out he'd gotten an HD! This has given a high to the day with congratulations all round (every hour or so!) Legs Eleven is to blame for Andrews diminishing wardrobe as I have now taken to wearing his tracksuit pants. Here is another photo of Legs Eleven, this time a girl. Enjoy!

Clearly time to Blog!
On a quiet, rainy Sabbath day I am finally starting my first blog. This will be a shared blog page between Andrew and myself. It will be clear who is blogging, as my blogs will be straight to the point and rather emotive and Andrew's blogs will be creatively twisted and cause you to chuckle. Andrew and I have been having a continuing disagreement about what week of pregnancy I am in. I have told him quite clearly that this is week 32 and next week will be week 33. He is sure that I am into my 33rd week already. Against this pointless agrument I am growing larger by the day and have now taken to sitting bolt up right in bed to sleep. Although in the night I do tend to sink into a more lateral position, only to awake and drag myelf upright for confort reasons. Legs Eleven (baby in womb) is still insisting on lying slightly side ways. But at this stage there is no hurry to turn around to the head down position. Blog ya later
