The many faces of the abinator

Jack & Abi play ball

Abi and Jack have had their issues in the past, but we are happy to see them playing together finally! It is extra special because we have recently learnt that our dear little Jack is sick and won't be with us much longer.

bread

We've started to bake our own bread these days. Here's a pic of a couple of whole meal and a couple of spelt loaves.

sunshine beach - noosa national park

mooloolah national park stroll

We only just found this track today and its 5 minutes drive from our house. We didn't make it to the end of the track as it was too wet...

curly!

The Deuter ...

The great Deuter carrier described below is proving to be even more useful than we first thought ... I came into the kitchen this morning to see Andy giving Abi her latest lesson in the fine art of coffee making ....

Hair ...

Prior to Abi being born there was great debate over whether Abi would be a 'Cook' or a 'Williams'. Basically, would she have curls (from Mum), or straight fine hair (which can have the tendency to be a little head strong and stick out in weird directions). The photos above are self explanatory ... she is a 'Cook'!

Also, if you have a close look at the top image, you would note the appearance of Abi's first tooth! Explains, why she has lost her super status of 'sleep through the night' baby!!

Abi's new mode of transport ...

We are looking forward to going on some longer walks now!

My new favourite pass time is kissing Mum ....




Finally, a photo of the three of us ....




And finally ..

Where on earth did that beetle go ... it's giving me a headache trying to work it out ... and I've got this damn weird feeling under my chin which is making things even more difficult ...

Hanging out with Dad & Uncle Pete

Uncle Pete stayed over so he and Dad could watch the socceroos being smashed by Germany!

Mama's Birthday with Liz & Nic

Three of my favourite activities ...

Playing ...

Winter baby!!

It's getting a little cooler up here on the Sunny Coast (!) ... we've even lit the fire on a few nights!

Abi is well prepared for the cooler days and nights.

Little fish

While trying to reach a rubber duck that had escaped her reach, Abi discovered the joy of swimming last night! This may very well have been her first (unofficial) swimming lesson!
