Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party

We held a 2nd Birthday Party for Jackson yesterday, and I'm pleased to say - we actually survived it (...albeit somewhat frazzled and knackered!).

Some of Jackson's friends who came to the party...

Nearly there...

.... thank goodness, I'm over it!

The cubby house, the cannonball run and the sandpit

Our new house already had a cubby house in the backyard, which Jackson loves, Richard has been doing some 'home improvements' on the cubby recently. This has included a cannonball run (the blue tube) and a sandpit. Jackson (and Richard) LOVE both!!

Going for a bike ride

Jackson still loves his bike rides with Daddy...

Baking bread with Dad

Swimming!

We realised we haven't taken Jackson swimming for a long time, so on Saturday decided to take him to the pool. Rich went in with him, I don't have any swimming clothes that will go over my belly at the moment (!), and Jackson LOVED it. He was a little tentative at first, but once he realised what it was all about we couldn't get him out - even a promise of a trip to the park following the pool didn't work... "no park Daddy, water".
