Time with the Jones family in Port

Being in Port Macquarie in Summer meant Eddie's first time in the ocean...and he liked it! Thankyou Aunty Rach for his first delicate toe dip into the sea. And thanks Grandpa for the view of the areoplane!

It was so great to see Grandpa and Grandma, Aunty Rachel, Aunt Sylvia...and to share our holiday with Megan and the girls too!

We took a picture of the grandparents with all 3 'Jones' grandkids...

Time with the Bosma family in Sydney

Here's Eddie, in early January, getting to know his cousins - Hannah, Leanna, Josh and Nathan - and his Opa. We were all staying in Dave's house - thanks Dave!

Flying to Oz

Soon after our aventures in the United States, Eddie and Anita (without Tom!) flew to Australia for Uncle David's wedding. Here is Eddie making friends on the plane...

He soon invited his new friend, Ian, into his sky cot. It was great to have company on such a long trip!

Christmas In America (T)

From Heathrow to Seattle, via Los Angeles and a drive up America's Pacific Coast...




Merry Christmas!

Christmas Season

Unfortunately Eddie has spent all of December so far, bunged up big time with a NASTY cold/cough/temperature, etc. He sees the Doctor today at 11am. Here he is relaxing in his chair. He has been very unhappy the last few days. I think his teeth are bothering him too...he now has 6! They just keep popping out.


But one thing is very exciting...he is learning to sleep through the night! I slept for 7 hours uninterrupted last night - this is a first for me, for over 8 months!! I feel like a new woman.






Here's Eddie's Uncle Sam, and, if you look very closely his Aunty Becca too!! Selfridges have very interesting window displays this Christmas Season called 'Wrapped'. This is London wrapped up...for more pictures of this display see Sam and Becca's blog.

Friends

Eddie's friend, William, offers Eddie a plastic cup. These cups are great - they stack up to make a tower - a present from the Brisbane Bosmas. Thanks! William is 10 months older than Eddie...my plan is that Eddie watches him walk and talk, and takes note.
