Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Yep bub rolled over properly this morning :) She did a good roll from tummy to back but wouldnt repeat it for poor Jase who had just walked out of the room when she did it! So she is 15.5 weeks old for the record keeping ;)
Gosh she has been "talking" alot! She is very vocal and tends to make grumpy noises rather than crying if she knows one of us is around to listen :)

I had my trip to Canberra for work. It went so well! I was surprised at how little I missed Elka.. basically I knew she was safe and happy playing with her nanny and poppy so I could concentrate on my work instead. Although regular sms updates helped alot ;)
I really hit my stride with the work meeting too - it was like I had never taken time off which was very reassuring. Now if I could just get this darn research grant finished then I could go back to my maternity leave for a bit longer!

In other news... its getting summer hot here and with it has come two brown snake sightings - seems to be the one juvenile that is trying to make our backyard its territory.. we are doing our best to scare it off but if it happens to be around when we are, then it may just meet mr hoe ;)

Just got back from the Horseland sale - got some great bargains including some gorgeous butter soft white leather gloves for $5!! All up I got $100 worth of gear for $45 so I was pleased! Also bought Sam a lovely Skye Park ripstop set - hopefully it will stay intact and help stop his itching over the summer! I havent had any time to ride - between visitors, the work trip, the grant and bubby not sleeping for long periods (have seemed to have solved that now though - touchwood!). So at this stage am thiniking I wont bother with the Age day competition as it might cause me too much stress trying to prepare (plus Spech has thrown a shoe and farrier isnt coming till next Sat - bummer)! Will just concentrate on preparing for the Derby day - maybe try to take him up the LVRC grounds for some jumping practice.. plus some more work on Sam..

We are off for a few days this arvo - staying with my parents and going to a 1st bday party (ELka has a cute party dress to wear!) and then driving down to Sawtell to meet Jasons parents and introduce Elka to her great Grandmother which will be nice and special!

So that is it for a few days - am sure I will be back with pics after the party!
