Where we live / We're HOME!

The flight was not too bad, we had a last fling with malaysian food at the KL airport foodcourt in transit, slept in a 5* hotel and survived the transcontinental haul. The holiday was long but it was too short....miss everyone there and *boohoo* sad to say goodbye. More Photos coming up soon, but first... our new house: we arrived home and immediately continued what we started 6 weeks ago- unpacking boxes. Weary, we forced ourselves to enjoy the nearby surroundings of our new town: WE LIVE 5 MINS FROM THE BEACH!!




What do you think?! So, for all those home viewers at home, come visit, there's room for all!

Ok, back to unpacking.

St peters reunion @ bali grill with Lispy, Trav & Amanda

With only one week to go....

Feeding frenzy

He's been eating for one week now, and can't seem to get enough puree! Lamb chops next...

Burleigh Heads

Spent a long weekend at the beach - perfect weather!

A little bit of activity was involved

More lounging around (exciting! sighting of the rare beluga whale kaemon with man-boobs!)

As usual, food

we get around in style!

Found our perfect hangout in a cafe/baby clothing shop-

Where we spent many coffees...

and teas...

back at apartment headquarters

Kaemon's First Playground

First, we had breakfast (scrambled eggs with chipolatas and tomato!!) with some brisbanites from the "old days": newlyweds (German) Andreas and (American) Rachel. This couple got together during the same heady days as we did and also defied the naysayers!

Next we paid a visit to Kaemon's cousin Reuben in the ballenbak/Ballroom

Did we mention that he's in a "put-everything-in-his-mouth" phase?

We walked along the river to New Farm Park, one of the many beautiful parks in Brisbane (*nostalgia*)

Kaemon swings!

Weather report: Sunny, 20 deg, delicious!

Kaemon Bites!!!

He's 5-6 Months now, and unable to sustain his astronomical weight gain on milk alone.... It really is work to get two teaspoons down! But since then we've worked out way up to 5-6 teaspoons! I lie awake at night worrying that my child won't like to eat. What will I do? How will I cope? Where can I get help?! But it appears that there's nothing to fear:

Loli & Shawn's New place

We gathered en masse at the new house and ate till we popped!
Shawn Cooked:

Eating out. That's a wood-fired pizza oven in the foreground! Yes! I can't wait...

Babies babies all around I look are babies.


Whenever we get together, it's beginning to look like a commune...

3 Babes!
