In Reverse Order

So, like I said, the photos are in reverse order. View them as you please. A few oldies but cuties, and some of our recent holiday back the States to visit the grandparents! Needless to say it was hard to leave the brilliant weather and return to cold and rainy Ballarat.

He moved his hat that way!

Soul sisters: Jenelle, Rachel and baby Grace.

One of the highlights of my trip was spending time with one of my best friends, Jenelle, and her 3 redheaded kids! She kept me company during a layover I had in L.A..


While on holiday, Kai developed a fear of water which made bathing quite difficult. Here I tried to change the scenery, but being outdoors didn't seem to help too much!

With an old friend, Jenn, and her daughter who is just a few days younger than Kai.


Enjoying cuddles from grandpa!

In grandma's arms.

What REAL pumpkins look like (for you Brits and Aussies).

One of Kai's favourite holiday activities... getting a wagon ride from grandpa!

We attempted a little hike with my old friend, Jarrod. The pram didn't make it very far.

Out on a stroll in the mountains.

Kai loves cats. This lady's name is Cookie.



Kai decided to display this cheesy grin quite often while on holiday. I think he got it from his mommy.

With Aunite Leigh who drove down from San Diego to visit us while we were back in AZ.

Mmmmmmm...

Kai LOVES mommy's homemade fruit and goat's milk yogurt popsicles!

Having a bath with birth buddy Kiani. Check out photos from when Kai was born. She was born the day before! They were in the hospital together.

While out on a walk around Lake Daylesford, we stopped to feed the ducks and geese.

Kai's bedroom in temporary house #1. (Move to temporary house #2 happening in about 5 weeks. Please pray that we'll have a great place to move to as our previous plan just fell through.)

Just an afternoon snooze.



Is there food coming, mommy?

Daddy LOVES swinging and throwing Kai in the air.

Kai's favourite place to be!

Yuck! What is that kangaroo doing?!

Sitting with his buddy Mackensie.

Hmmm... what animal do we have here??

And now he's giving it a little pet. The roos can actually be quite a nuisance.

Here Kai is just checking out the kangaroo.
I have a season pass to the wildlife park...
