Eira 4 months

She still 3 months in this picture but she is still such a Daddy's girl. Her eyes just light up when he starts talking.

Little Miss Eira Lee

I wish this would happen more.... So nice and so relaxing

I love my kids eyes.. they make me melt...

Rainy day and stuck in doors... TENT building time. We had a blast building a tent and watching movies in it... not mention Zeric's most favorite snack... POPCORN

Time to watch some Harry Potter and eat some snacks

Zeric has ways of making a wand holder.... he so good at solving problems ;) hee hee

Just before the camera died on me... Eira will sit there with her hand under chin and listen to who ever is talking and just stare at you in ahhh.

Zeric Turns 3

For Zeric's Birthday we had Nan, Gramps and Aunty chooky for dinner and some cake. James made a yummy pork chops and apple sauce dish and I made some roast veggies ! I forgot to take a picture :( After dinner we all jumped on to the Wii and played some JUST DANCE. Here we have Nan, Zeric and Chooky getting their dance on.

It sure seems to be a work out for Zeric... he was so funny trying to keep up with Nan and Chook while trying to dodge arms and legs... My stomach hurt from laughing so hard.

James stayed up the night before making Zeric's birthday cake. Red Velvet cake, A special recipe for a special little boy.

Getting ready for the blow out .... 3 !!!

Happy Birthday to our little Zeric.. 3 years old and I still can't believe he's mine. These 3 years have gone by way to fast.

Make a wish

A little help from Daddy

The next day we met up with Zeric's friend Achilles at the playground. Achilles brought some lunch and birthday cupcakes !

I would say he's a happy 3 year old

January and February Eira hits 3 months

Sitting with Gramps (Bugga) enjoying a hot summer day....

Zeric just loves to run around Nan and Bugga's back yard kicking the soccer ball and playing golf and anything else that has to do with running or swinging a club or bat !
he always sleeps so great after a day with the Grandparents

Gramps (bugga) little miss Eira Lee and cheeky little Z man

My little girl 3 months old and looking oh so cute

Zeric is such an amazing big brother... so much love for his little sister. Always has to be a part of whats going on with the little miss.

Look at them gums !!! so cute

Like I said before, Zeric has to be apart of everything... even the close ups of the face. He cracks me up so much.

Trying to share his toys... but all Eira cares about are her hands... yummy hands

such a happy Bub
How did we get so lucky to have two super happy kids ?

3 down... 1 to go

Little Miss Eira loves to put herself to sleep with her thumb... I thinks it's cute

New year 2012

Eira and Zeric are already best mates.
Love these two

The new Newcastle Police Helicopter... have to keep a birds view in the mean people
Zeric loves to see these things flying around in the air... he calls this one a copter.

Z man trying out the copter to see if he likes it... He loves it

James has himself a Daddy's Girl for sure.... oh he's in for it

Zeric loves his little sister
so much

Zman teaching Eira how to roll over and crawl ... little champs

Christmas in OZ

Christmas Eve Lunch... some fresh Prawns... so amazing !
I think Zeric is trying to figure out what he is holding.. but when we got the meat out.. he was chowing down.

Z man and the Prawn

Who said you need a fireplace to hang stockings ? all you need is some cooking twine and tacs

James took after his Mom and started making a Ham on Christmas Eve, He made a Maple glaze and stuck some big chuncks of pineapple and cloves in the top.

Chef Jameso doing his thing

Just before we dug into it... It turned out so yummy !

Christmas Eve and the boys are passed out in front of the tree, just after some Xmas movies and treats... Before Santa makes his way to see Z man

This Christmas was really the first one he gathered what was going on. But he did'nt realize the gifts were there to open.. He was more worried about getting his cup of milk.

At first he would use his pointer finger and his thumb to peel the wrapping paper back as carefully as he could and place the pieces next to him in a neat pile... but soon he was catching on that just ripping it got him there faster.

Dad got him a Zman sized guitar so they can play together

8 weeks old and so happy

Little Eira Lee

Nan, Gramps and Caitlin came over to play santa. I have so many great photos.. but Z man loves to run around naked. So... I had to choose carefully ;)

All his new gifts and he still turns to the box to hide in and play

James Family gets together every Christmas for lunch and this year we went to Uncle Wayne and Aunty Debs where the pool was the main attraction. Zeric and James had a ball together

Teaching the little man how to swim

Now for some surfing..

our attempt to get a family photo... our sweet Uncle wayne was just adding to the memory ;)

She makes me so happy and puts a smile on my face every day

Aunty Chook (Caitlin) Zeric and James all enjoying Christmas day in the pool together

I think this is the only shot I got of most everyone together... so many family members were there, such a good time to catch up with everyone. We had an amazing lunch.. I got no pictures of it because it was gone with in seconds. I really wanted to get a picture of the Lamb Roast Uncle Mark makes every year... that was gone in a split second. I look forward to that every year we are in OZ for Xmas.
Merry Christmas
