SUPER PARTY!

My little baby is officially 2 years old. Because of his Batman obsession we had a super hero party for him- just an excuse to dress him up in leggins with undies over the top. It was soooo cute seeing his little friends all dressed up too! Estella was our little Wonder Woman! I'll have to go through the pics to post some more of all the cuties!

autumn sunshine

We have been very lucky to be experiencing some beautiful autumn sunshine! We made the most of it last week with a trip to the beach WITH the boys of course (as you can see Big Minol in the background playing with them).
Now I know this isn't a great photo of Stella, but it's a good one of her different eyes. One is brownish and the other still bluey/grey. So the community nurse said there's about one in 20,000 chance of that happening so she's pretty special. The question is- are they changing at different rates, or will she stay a husky? No one seems to have an answer so it's just wait and see!

Girls Class

I had my second girls only jiu-jitsu class today! I'm loving it! It helps that these girls rock and are naturals! Rachel is a pro already... all that training at home with Paul and the kids has given her a huge advantage! Haha... pick the before and after shots?! This was also Estella's first training. (Ok, she didn't actually train, she was just looking cute in her mini gi!)

Night with the Girls

Love these girls! (Rhiannon and Collette that is).

Just the CUTEST!

I love my little Stella bom Bella. I especially love her hair. EVERYWHERE we go... "Oh, look at her hair!" I just love being able to put clips and head bands on her! Can't believe how quickly her first 7 weeks of life have flown! I also love that she SMILES now!

Melting Moment

This moment just made my heart melt! Minol was sitting over on his batman seat. I put Estella on the shark bean bag and asked him to "watch" Estella while I went to the loo. I came back to this! I swear I wasn't long! Minol had fallen asleep next to Estella while she was sucking away on his fingers. So cute.

Besties

Starting March...

Doom Island

"Let's go on a family drive!"

"YES, lets..."

We agreed that while all the family were down that it would be nice to go on a family drive. So somehow it was decided that we would go to Brunie Island to spend the day and for Pud to have a go at surfing! La de daaaaaa, how fun crossing over on the ferry...

How fun looking at the nice sights...

How fun posing for the camera...

But then... driving, driving, driving to find some waves...

We get to Cloudy Bay to find...

Nick was hopeful and thought the storm would pass...

But WRONG! It hit and Minol went surfing anyway. Poor Pud got her wetsuit on, took the board out but didn't get to the water! I stayed in the car the whole time (I got a baby to look after!) Everyone else went to find somewhere to eat lunch but ended up back in the cars soon after when the rain started!

It was about this time when Anker renamed Brunie Island to Doom Island as we sat in the car waiting for the rain to ease and Minol to return from his crazy surf. We were joking about being stuck on the island like in the horror movies!

But alas, the storm cleared up a bit and we carried on, looking for somewhere to have our picnic lunch. We found a nice camping ground which led to a nice beach where the kids could explore. And pretty much that was our day. Happy Australia Day.

Family

Estella was blessed on Sunday 24th of January which was very special as we had all the family down from Brisbane! Grandpa Fuglsang performed her blessing with the three Uncles... Uncle Ankie, Uncle Mick and Uncle Nick along with Bishop Docking. We also had extended family and lovely friends to enjoy the day with! Bink and Mum did a super job preparing afternoon tea and Chels took some pics to remember the day!

TADAAAAA!

So here she is... check out her hair!! Just a few iphone pics... no doubt more to come. Supposedly she looks like Minol when he was a baby. She certainly gets her hair from him. And also like his mum. We'll see how she pans out! Just love this little girl!!

Little Stella

Photos to come of Estella Ruby Tavares Tutida... born YESTERDAY! Only a week early, lucky me!

just a few Christmas pics...

This was Minol's first Christmas in Aussie (last year we were in Brazil) so it was fun getting ready for Christmas even though Minol isn't quite with it on the whole Christmas thing yet. But what he is with is- BATMAN! It was so nice to have some good friends give him a pressie which turned out to be awesome and his favourite present from Christmas (Big Minol and I didn't get him anything to top that!!)

This is Minol with his little friend Brock!

Minol didn't care about Santa, just the lollies.
