2nd Wedding Anniversary, Spring Creek Mountain

this was the view from our bedroom, looking out over Spring Creek Mountain, South East Queensland

with a stroke of luck, we asked the owners of the B&B what they recommended we do for the day and they gave us their spare 4X4 to go trekking through the gorge... i wish more people were like this

Baby Belly

I am now 30 weeks pregnant, I can't quite believe it but in 10 weeks we will get to meet the little one who is making my belly grow quite so much.

Double Trouble

A Saturday brunch with Rebecca, Neil, Thomas and Fraser was followed by a trip to the park... it was all going so well until the boys found the only water fountain in the park. The boys went home a little wet!

A fond farewell

The day that Mum headed home we treated ourselves to high tea at Joseph Alexanders. Ant and Emma joined us and it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

See you in 4 months Mum!

Mikey and Ruth's wedding

On Saturday Mikey and Ruth got married just outside of Dunedin at a place where Ruth spent many happy holidays as a child.

The sun shone and kept shining for the whole day and the weather was unseasonably warm.

Mikey and Ruth's Mum's spoke at the beginning of the ceremony and welcomed them into each others family's. As part of the 'Support Crew', Sian along with Carla and Liz spoke about Ruth and Mikey as a couple and as individuals. It was an unusual but extremely moving ceremony topped off by Mikey and Ruth speaking about why they loved each other.

Here are a few pictures to capture the spirit of the day for everyone who couldn't make it.

The new BBQ king

No man can come to Oz and not BBQ so Iain took Freddie under is wing and showed him how it is done!
Ps. That is a flipping burger not some ugly tash Iain is now growing!

The Dunn's down under

On New Years Eve some two of our great friends from home, Lucy and Simon arrived along with their little boy Freddie. Freddie was a couple of weeks late when he was born so Iain and I missed him as we were already on our trip in the States.

Since they have been here we have spent many fun days on the beach and today we actually got Freddie in the sea.... which is interesting as he hates being in the bath! (baby logic I suppose).
