Mom is here!

Mom arrived on Oct. 28th for a visit to our home in Mt Isa! She is going to be here for 6 weeks all together including convention AND her 50th birthday!! Woohoo! Rhys is loving having another person to cuddle and play with.

Check out our great shoes!

A Saturday for Gardening

Eldon's green thumb is back in full force! For those of you who knew us in Papakura, you'll remember the awesome garden we had back then. Well....we aren't going so crazy here as it would take a lot of soil and a rotary hoe to make a difference to the dirt. Eldon has planted everything in pots; carrots, capsicum, cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, cucumber, pumpkin, watermelon, climbing beans, dwarf beans...hmmm what else? It's really fun to watch it grow...the beans have grown so fast! Hopefully if all is well, we'll have a nice little harvest in a few months.

Rhys "helping" put dirt in the pot...he ended up with cow manure and soil all over him...what fun!
