The vegie patch

Rich set about building a vegie patch as his last project before he went back to work after the summer holidays, Jackson and I have been responsible for planting and watering. Last week we harvested our first batch of lettuce and basil, we have also planted zucchini, pumpkin, beans, silverbeat, coriander and chives.

Do I look like an octopus?

The deck

We decided it might be quite nice to have a deck around the tree that sits in front of the cubby house, so Glendon (with the help of Rich and Jackson) put it together for us. Here are a few pictures of the work in progress...

Going for a paddle

Rich took Jackson for a paddle in Hillarys Boat Harbour yesterday, they both loved it!

The garden

This school holidays Richard has been doing a lot of work in the garden trying to get the grass to grow and mulching the garden beds, as you can see from these before and after shots - its looking pretty damn good!

Welcome Josephine Taylor Lane

Josephine (Josie) was born on the 4th of November at 3.37 pm, weighing 7 pound 5 and looking beautiful. She is wonderful, sleeping and eating and seems very content with the world. Em is doing well after the C-Section. Jackson is already trying to show his little sister how to jump! The Lane household has its newest member and we could not be happier!

Jackson's 2nd Birthday

Jackson had a great day on his birthday on Saturday, he enjoyed opening his presents, then didn't know what to play with first....

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!).
