Winter is here

Dear family and friends,

We have had a very busy but enjoyable month. We have celebrated our first wedding anniversary on the 13th May. Thank you for all your cards and wishes. I can't believe it's been a year since we got married. Time has flown. Of course we've had the beautiful Amelia in that time so lives have been hectic.

We've also celebrated Iain's birthday on 21 May and he really enjoyed his first birthday with his daughter. I had a birthday helium balloon in the house and it lasted for about 3 weeks. Amelia was entranced by it, she defnitely couldn't figure out what it was but she had fun trying.

She's sitting up now properly, very few wobbles. In the last month she has also taken to solid food, and we're just starting on food with little lumps.

I am still busy with work at the Adelaide City Council, I have some interesting projects on the go and Iain has completed his trek around the country doing his business planning. It's the end of the financial year here in Australia at the end of June so now he has to present his plans and budget to the board and get their approval. This weekend therefore he will be busy with his preparation for that.


My friend Nat (bridesmaid) gave birth a few weeks ago to Thomas (Tommy) and he is very small, very squishy and very cute. I can't believe Amelia was the same size at one point!


So here are a few photos from the last month. It's cold and wet here now so we are usually to be found snuggling up at home with our new heating system.


Iain's birthday dinner.




My first meeting with Nat's new baby Tommy.


We went to see Hawthorn v Port Adelaide and Iain's team Hawthorn (the Mighty Hawks) won, he was mighty pleased.
