Now that Ruby is crawling around, amusing herself somewhat, here are some photos that I wanted to put here but didn't have time.
Babies in Australia gets their hearing tested at 3 weeks of age. She passed.
One day I left Max at home with a sleeping baby. I told him if she woke up, to pick her up and jiggle her, and I would only be gone 5 minutes. When I got home, he was jiggling!
A mother cat and her kittens. We took one of these kittens and named him Hoppy.
Sadly, Hoppy disappeared in March, the day before he was to be taken to the vet's to be neutered.
He was a great little cat.
A handsome George in his tuxedo on one of the last days of Kindergarten last year.
One day George and Ruby and I were stranded on the side of the road with a blown radiator hose. That's our car on the back of the tow truck there.
While we waited, George found this enormous hairy spider in the bark of a tree. He took a stick and flicked it away but it landed in my handbag. It crawled into a side pocket of my handbag. It was fairly tricky to persuade it to come out of my handbag.
Ruby catching up with Nanny and Gramps.
George was so keen for school he did "homework" over the summer holidays.
George having lunch at the big kid school.
Ruby having a relaxing bubble bath in the sink.
Nanny had just told the boys not to play with Ruby's new toy. Max picked it up and George is telling him off.
Max and friend out to dinner one night.
With some puppies at a friend's farm.
New swimwear at the start of summer.
Swimming at the river.
A frog we found in the back yard.
Max brought in a feisty lizard and it got away on the bed next to baby, you will see where I dropped the camera so I can grab Ruby.
