Parks, new babies, dinosaurs & trains

Big week in our little world this week. A new baby boy was born to the lovely Luana, a little brother for one of our BFF little people Lola. Baby George is our new godson & were thrilled to meet him!

Kahu loves babies but really he loves parks more. We discovered a new park in Queanbeyan this week. This little gem is tucked away in amongst houses and is now know as 'awesome park' (thx Gracie!)

With all the busy-ness in our lives we decided a family day was in order. We headed out to the National Dinosaur Museum at Gold Creek. It was pretty cool & Kahu loved it! 

We followed up the dinosaurs with a visit to Cockington Green - odd name but it has trains, and little houses and people. 

Big day out & about and we all needed nana naps in the arvo. The Morgans came for dinner so Kahu had Miss Gracie to keep him company while the adults hung out...

Oh and the country changed leader ...  Election results unsurprisingly ushered in a conservative government. I'm still reserving judgement about that.

Last swim lesson of the year today - Kahu really doesn't like it & it's pretty much a struggle every week. Loves the water, hates following direction (definitely my son right!!!)

Loving all this spring sunshine & blue skies. No heating needed & short sleeves aplenty.

Roll on Summer!

Trip to Sydney

Last week I spent 3 days in Sydney for work. Great to meet my interstate colleagues at the ABC but more importantly Miss Halena Mere - my cousin Tissy & Orlando's gorgeous baby girl!

Mum & Dad are totally besotted (and who wouldn't be!) and are just doing fabulously - all is parents out there (me especially) can remember those first few weeks of shock & awe (and fear).

I just found out yesterday that Halena has a tumour on her chest - tests this weekend will confirm whether it is benign or worse. Until then we are praying for the best outcome & sending Tiss, Orlando & Halena all our love xx
