That time of year !!

Well I hadn't yet finished posting all the photo's from last christmas holidays and here we are again.

I will post some photo's from Christmas day before we start on the holiday shots. We had a really lovely christmas day this year. Lunch with Granny and Poppy and then up to Aunty Cathy and Uncle Andrews for Tea with the extended Purdon family.

Slowly going under !

Well with 5 learning days left at Uni I feel like I am slowly drowning. The house looks like a bomb has hit ! I thought I would load a few more pictures while I am listening to a really boring lecture:

3 in one week !

Three post in one week thats a bit intense. It's amazing what you find time to do when you are avoiding study. At the start of the year when I recreated the thought of my blog I really wanted to do a few posts on the things I had missed out on from 2010 &2011. So today I thought I would post some photos from our cruise in Jan 2012.

We went on an 8 days P&O cruise to celebrate my brother inlaws 50th and below are the photo's to prove it.

Lately !!

Well yesterday and today have been an absolute wipe out of study, study and more study. Nathan came home from Qld yesterday and I feel like I have just given him the reigns and hardly seen him. He was so good and took the girls to the pool all morning this morning so that I could study. On a brighter note below is a picture of the beautiful Coles Bay and the spot where Nathan and I took our beach run while down there. It was divine !!!

 

 

The cute and cold Ruby about to have a swim in the very cold ocean !

 

 My crazy girls swimming in the freezing cold ocean !

 

Update !

Well with 2 weeks left at Uni life is feeling a little intense at the moment. The girls are in the last week of school holidays and Nathan has been in QLD for the last week at  a seminar. We had a lovely trip to Coles Bay in the first week of the holidays and I really wish we could have stayed longer. An old family friend of Nathan's mum and dad has just renovated a shack so we were extremely lucky to be her first guests. I am really having trouble coming up with much more to write at the moment as every spare moment tends to be spent studying.

Our first family fun run !!!

I was so proud of my beautiful girls today. Below is why :

Our family pic after the big race

Ruby was keen for a photo with all the mascots at the run.

 Ruby and her special friend from school William, she was very excited to see that he was also running today.

 Ruby and Buzzy Bee, the B&E mascot.

I ran with Issi and my thought was that I would teach her how to run a longer race were you need to think about your pace and not go to hard to early. Well she was keen on listening and just ran flat out the whole way and it nearly killed me keeping up. Nathan rang with Ruby and this is where I got my biggest surprise. Rub's had never really ran in anything before and I really thought she would be lucky to finish let along run almost the whole way. She was so determined !! Love these girls. Yesterday I made the decision that I will tough out a season of Little Ath's when it starts in October, I think the girls will love it.
