what a cutie! Ivy at Emma & Davids, yesterday. She loved those stairs!


looking acroos our block to the south, across our neighbour Sid & Natalie's block to Kate & Christians house who are our 2nd neighbours.

the boys!



Looking North into the bush, this is where the house will face so will be our view from my office, kitchen & deck. No neighbours on this side , just a sandy dirt road leading up into the bush.

The first of what I hope will become a large collection of saved native plants for future garden beds.

Our house site. The tree in the foreground with the white ribbon on it is staying, the house will sit a few metres behind it. You can see a black star picket on the rigt hand side of the photo, that's the north west corner of the verandah.



All the trees with ties are staying. Kim's workshop will sit in front of Sid & Natalie's studio, next to our house & will be built in the same materials & in a similar style to the house. I'll scan the plans in in the next few days.

Our caravan sitting on the house site, we aquired this from Freecycle & it's been great to have somewhere to sit & eat out of the sun/rain & to put the kids down for sleeps. Yes it's old but serves us well! One day I might even give it a wash!


Kim & Finn's colllection of chainsaws.

about half our collection of firewood, & still lots to go!

Finn helping Daddy, we don't know what we'd do without him! (Don't worry, he's never this close when the chainsaw's really going!).


The boy in action.

Chelsea & her friend Merade fire twirling on Ivy's birthday, we had a party on the block & the kids had their friends over.



Me & my baby girl on her birthday. Isn't she gorgeous!!??
