Our new little Aussie wearing green and gold


Swimming on a boiling hot day - was apparently 99% humidity. The water was the best place to be!


Elka's first play in a kiddie park and her first go on a swing!


All worn out on the way home!



We had a lovely weekend which included some lazy fish and chips, shopping, swimming, going for coffee and caramel slice (yum!) and relaxing in front of DVDs. We also did some recon on a location for my bday family get-together, which is coming up in Feb. I have decided I want to go for a High Tea at a nice Gold Coast hotel. we checked out the Sheraton Mirage - top points for location and view but minus points for a lame menu that mainly included cheese (I dont eat much cheese due to lactose intolerance). Next one to check is the Hyatt Sanctuary Cove... I am looking forward to splurging on yummy cakes and goodies :) that is what bday's are for!

Elka also chose Australia Day to cut her third tooth - its a top one (her first top one!) but its not the front ones - its one to the side on the right. Wasn't the place were I was expecting the next one! She was pretty clingy and sooky but her sleep was still OK. We have started "battering down the hatches" around the house - moving things and putting up a baby gate to keep her out of the bathroom and the cat food bowls etc. She has also learnt to go from crawling position to sitting up and is pulling herself up on us so we have lowered the cot now. Gosh she is becoming a big girl!

Things are pretty quiet around here now - all my mummy friends have gone back to work now and its only 4 weeks until I do to! How the time has flown...

About Me

My Photo
Amy
I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
