Welcome Ethan Blake



My girlfriend from work, Pam, has had her first bub - last Thursday! Welcome Ethan Blake and congrats Pam and Mark! Some of my scrap friends have met Pam, as she has been to a couple of crops with me.

We were lucky enough to visit Pam in hospital on Saturday afternoon - he's so beautiful!

After visiting we hung around the hospital car park for a few hours....to watch the fireworks :D Riverfire is an annual festival here in Brisbane with the fireworks being a high light. Our plan was to visit Pam and then walk towards the river (not far from the hospital) but the top two sections of the car park where closed to traffic and there was a party going on up there!!! So we joined in! The hospital must make it one of their main fund raisers and it was a great night!


Hard work getting good fireworks photos but this is one of the better ones I captured.

I've done NO scrapbooking for a week : Having been away with work last week and a flat out weekend I haven't had a chance! Not likely to get any done this week either as I have a wizards cloak to make for Danah's costume for her Hobbit performance in less than 2 weeks~~!~ My poor sewing machine won't know what's going on with material being used on it instead of PAPER!




We enjoyed a lovely Father's Day BBQ Brunch this morning with my folks and my brother. It was a lovely way to start the day! Tried to get some nice photos of Peter with the girls - but ended up with more goofy out-takes than nice ones ;) The one above isn't too bad! And here's my cool Dad!




Talking about cool.....Tara decided it was time to get back into the pool today, so after brunch she took the plunge! And yes, it was cold, freezing even, but she stayed in for quite a while!

Yeah, welcome Baby Ethan - so glad to see you and I can't wait to meet you. Riverfire pic looks great!

Father's Day looks good and I hope you enjoyed your swim Tara. Won't be too long before it's really warm.

Have a great week and good luck with the costume. ;)

How cute is little Ethan?

Wow...great view of Riverfire. Love the pics of Father's day. The goofy ones are still good! :)

Must have been the day for swimming...my neighbours had their first swim of the season, also. It looks cold!
