Friends, family and #$*$ ups.

I know I've said if before, but we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends in our lives and a lifestyle that is flexible enough to have visitors when the opportunities arise. Our dear friends Mel and H and their two boys Cobi and Zac, came for a visit from Springsure and we managed to squeeze a little photo shoot into their stay. They are so darn photogenic... makes it easy!

In the above pic everyone was laughing because I had this male emu and his two chicks coming up to me... and daddy didn't look very happy!!! I was freaking out a little!! Had to switch between checking behind me, to see if was going to be attacked and then back around to take the shot. 

I love this one!

Was hard to pick my favourite! Such a gorgeous family and not just to look at! Generous, kind and loving people! 

We've had a couple of afternoons where the weather has left a bit of colour in the sky, but unfortunately I don't have time to get to any other locations, other than right near the house because I'm normally feeding bub as the sun sets.

We also had a savage storm pass through a couple of weeks ago. We got some good rain over a couple of days 77ml all up. Did a bit of damage to some of the neighbours blocks but we didn't have any trouble other than the phones being out.

From my phone: 

I think these clouds are supposed to mean rain in a week, so we will see how we go. 

How photogenic is this kid!!!

Couldn't believe he could even move in these boots!! Cool dude!

Cuteness overload

I'm not sure what G-man thought about having a couple of play mates, he's pretty happy making his own fun!

Aunty Mel seemed to have the magic touch, Garrett doesn't usually take to females very quickly, but he thought she was alright! 

Still got his grove on a bit. 

Snuggles with these pair of cuties

Big smiles for aunty Mel

Boys off to catch a fish!

Visitors are a good excuse to try out a new recipe! Was pretty good!! Very unhealthy. 

We had a bit of a trying day this past week. With our dozer getting itself in a spot of bother. 

Eventually rescued by the tractor and copious logs positioned strategically under the tracks. 

And I coped a rock to my back window as I was on my way into town with the trailer!! Expensive trip!

We also took a family photo in blue to pay our respects to the family who lost their daughter to suicide. Such a tragic, tragic thing for any family to have to endure and my heart goes out to them! 

A few extra cuddles this week!

How has your new year started? How are your resolutions going? 

I haven't mentioned, but I've been training myself to run this past 8 weeks and I've finally finished the program. I can now run for 36 mins straight, which for me, someone who's never been fit and I hate cardio... it's a fair achievement! So go me! 

Hope you're all not dying in this heat!
