One week to go!

We carried out the final inspection on the new house yesterday. It's only one more week before we get the keys...

UNDER OFFER!

I'm not allowed to write SOLD in the heading because apparently that might jinx it... Anyway, last weekend an offer was put on the house and we have accepted. So as soon as their finance is approved then I'm allowed to report that our house has been sold. It's such a relief for two reasons: 1) We don't have to pay two mortgages and most importantly from my point of view 2) I don't have to clean anymore! I can honestly say that one of the worst things you can put yourself through is to sell your home when you've got babies and/or toddlers in the house. But in the end it has been worth it. We just can't believe we only had it on the market for 4 weeks. We can now concentrate on the joy of moving into our new house in two weeks time.

Floor time

Megan is getting stronger and happier with tummy time and general floor time.
Megan's favourite pastime is watching her maniacal brother galavanting all over the place. She spends most of the time smiling and even giggling at him and of course he is oblivious to most of her attention. Because he never sits still she contorts herself into all sorts of positions just so she can see what's going on.
Just this week she has discovered her feet.

She's Back!

Last weekend Mum made the big move back to Mandurah. She has finally resigned from her job (something she has been talking and dreaming about for quite some time) and will become a lady of leisure at the end of next week. She is planning on selling her house and moving into a 'lifestyle village' here in Mandurah. It goes without saying that we are pretty happy to have her back. Aiden has already sussed out her willingness to play in the sandpit with him and watch Dora... I think in her retirement she may be busier than ever!

One for Daddy

I put this old t-shirt of Aiden's on Megan today just to put a smile on Dave's face...

Little boys that can't sit still...

It has come to my attention that I'm posting more and more photos of Megan and less of Aiden. There is a very good reason for this. I am taking just as many photos of him but they all look like this:
Even this one is slightly blurry: I don't know if he has ants in his pants or what... but this little boy just cannot sit still for any period of time - especially for something as mundane as me taking photos (again)... So while Megan lays relatively still in the one spot happily smiling at me I will continue to snap away so expect an overload of photos of her.
