packed & ready

I leave tomorrow for my big walk for the Asbestos Diseases Society. Noah is also packed and ready to head to his Nanna Laurel's for two nights, then Shell's for two nights and finally Nanna Margaret's for two nights. I will see him Wednesday In Kellerberrin which makes me feel a whole heap better about leaving him for a whole week. I am sure he will have a good time. He is looking forward to all his sleep overs. 

I feel pretty excited about the walk. I am scheduled to walk 25km a day.  I have been working hard to get fit in 2 short weeks (I left it way too late). I feel confident that seeding will not begin for us until I get back. I am trying really hard to be a good wife by leaving Richard some food, which is so not like me. 

If you see us along the way please show your support. We will be calling into schools and business along the way. I am looking forward to taking some interesting photos on route from Kalgoorlie to Perth. I have never been to Kalgoorlie before so I am quite looking forward to seeing this iconic WA town.

Sweet baby girl & a monster toddler boy

 Noah and I did a quick trip down to Perth to surprise Mum & Rog for Roger's birthday.

 Bonnie Rose is nearly standing on her own.

At 9am this morning I discovered that Noah was STILL wearing his nappy from night time. Can you see Bonnie looking at him in disgust?

Sweet girl. Nice pinky action.

 Upon our return home Noah swamped his Dad with his soft toys.

Just a normal Friday night at our house really. I love how Richard and Noah ignore that I am taking photos of them, they are the BEST lifestyle photography models ever. I will miss them next week. 

A Tribute to ANZAC Day

With their hair a little whiter, their step not quite so sure

Still they march on proudly as they did the year before.

Theirs were the hands that saved us, their courage showed the way

Their lives they laid down for us, that we may live today.

From Gallipoli's rugged hillsides, to the sands of Alamein

On rolling seas and in the skies, those memories will remain.

Of airmen and the sailors, of Lone Pine and Suvla Bay

The boys of the Dardenelles are remembered on this day.

They fought their way through jungles, their blood soaked desert sands

They still remember comrades who rest in foreign lands.

They remember the siege of old Tobruk, the mud of the Kokoda Trail

Some paying the supreme sacrifice with courage that did not fail.

To the icy land of Korea, the steamy jungles of Vietnam

And the heroic battle of Kapyong and that epic victory at Long Tan.

Fathers, sons and brothers, together they fought and died

That we may live in peace together, while at home their mothers cried.

When that final bugle calls them to cross that great divide

Those comrades will be waiting when they reach the other side.

We actually enjoy when Noah is unwell as he gets really cuddly- which normally he's not.

The ice skater

This was probably our worst family outing EVER. Didn't go quite as I expected it to. Noah will be lucky if he ever goes ice skating again - with us anyway!
