Presnts pull elve from the job, resulting in eventual sacking!!
To load up and leave his job! Clever Aunty Kerry.

Katherine's Turkey was spot on, there weren't many leftovers!
Lachy tried to catch fish for breaky, but has similar fishing skills as his Father and landed a seahorse!

David wondering whether all of those presents are for him!

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas

I'm excited!
Very excited....but I won't share my cracker!
Nan, Mum and Lachy are excited too, and singing some song about 6 white Boomers.
I took a trip to Canberra to my Cousin's house, that's Peter bum and all, I travelled well and had a blast. Merry Christmas to you all, love Jessica! XOX

Soccer action

How to park a car

The Honda may be in danger!!

Who is the most grown up?!

These rabbits keep attacking my feet, I've tried pulling on their ears and thumping them on the ground, but I can't get them off.
Finally old enough to leave home. And extravegant Uncle jason provided the means of transport by way of an early Christmas pressy. What ever happened to a BMX and a bag of bread! Now days its the batmobile with a full tank of juice, young kids now days!!!!
Still Mum's home cooking made him return and he quickly took to giving his Sister a driving lesson in the hope that she may drive off into the sunset!

Loving children

Ah, so cute may they never grow up and learn to fight and argue!!!!
Lachy was not so sure about Santa at his childcare Christmas party today..... his sister just took it in her stride.

So cheeky, and in case you don't know who I am, Aunty Joelle made me this top! Fogetful rellies (namely uncles) note the date of birth!

Lachlan reassuring his Sister that she need not worry, the male side of the Martin family have the poorer sense of humour

Brotherly love. Any chance to get in front of the cammera. Even if it means nursing his little (Big) Sister who squashes him every time!

Concerned look braught about by prospect that her rabbits might breed. Jessica is keen to remove her feet from the scene! Rather than which way did that rabbit go, which way did her feet go!

Finally.... Jessica in training. This is her "fake laughter face" She assures us that she is ready for the introduction to her Garandad, and will politely use this face, whether she finds him funny or not!
Currently watching 20 20 cricket against NZ so must dash!

Santa Experience

Sunday night was the Yackandandah Community Christmas party, with free jumping castles, face painint etc, oh and of course Santa. Poor Lachy had just asked Dad to take him to the toilet (Upstairs in clubrooms) when Santa decides to arrive on loud fire Engine. Wee quickly forgotten, and little boy darts down steap stairs with Dad at his heals to sit excitedly at Santas feet and wait for his present. At this stage, poorly organised Mum goes to take magic momment photo and cammera goes flat! Mum mummbles a few words under her breath and retreats with crying baby Jessica who did not like the comotion at all!
Some time later, Jessica has clamed down and enjoys watching leaves in large oak tree, note cute little outfit from Great Uncle J and Tess, very handy with such hot days
Try telling a 2 year old it is time to get off a jumping castle and go home just after a visit from the big fellow in red, some lemonade from Dad and a lollypop! Needless to say at 10pm Sunday night Lachy is wide awake in his bed singing Old McDonald. Ah, than k goodness Dad had to get him off to Emohruo while Mum and Jess caught up on some sleep.

Also took our first family swim at the waterhole this weekend. Lachy loved swimming around with Dad and with Floaty suit on is quite independent. Jess enjoyed dipping her toes in, but a little cold for much else. friends have taken photos, so hope to blog on next installment. Can you beleive a storm is brewing (No apples in sight) Had better get computer off due to lighteming.

Busy Man

When helping Dad to fix things, danger money is required. I have learnt to helmet up and protect myself from stray nails ans the like!
I fear this Christmas tree may not stay upright as the decorator seems to be concentrating all decos on the one area!! The question then begs where to put it so it remains in one piece for the next month?!

New member of the family moves in!

Yet another busy weekend for the yack crew, Graham had a one day match yesterday, made 70 odd runs and made the realisation in such steamy weather that he isn't very fit at the mo! Der!!! Today we have been at our Neighbours 40th, hence the spiffy photos. Note the matching Martin boys, Mmm, very cute, Lachy's outfit care of G Ma and G Dad

Lachy and I came home Friday to discover a new family member making himself at home under the back step....can you see enough to guess what he is. He is very slowly increasing the size of his little burrow/nesty thing, and did not seem to mind a bit of water from the sprinkler, we don't know how long he will stay, but he doesn't eat much and pretty well keeps to himself. As long as poor old Jake doesn't run into him in the dark we're ok!
Saturday morning, 7:30, Lachy was still in bed, Dad was down the paddock roaging for patto, and so I decided to take a shower......finish my shower, find a trail of clothes towards the toilet and here a little boy yelling Mum, I want some cereal!!! He'd already been tot he gate to check what Dad was up to. Must remember to put the radio on in our bathroom in future so he knows where I am.
