Beauty....I mean....Cuteness Contest!!

Zemiel is in the Country's Cutest Kid contest...only thing is, the website that we have supposed to be voting on wasn't well advertised. All the same, I would appreciate it if you could take 2 minutes and vote for his picture at the following link.

You will need to quote his name and number....

COLE 209110

It isn't very likely that he will win the competition, but it would be a shame for him to get NO votes! Voting ends on Thursday!

It's Autumn!

I love this time of year! The cooler nights, the warm sunny days. So much to do and grow! Last Sunday we emptied out our garage. We are hoping to make some considerable changes to the space and function of that area, seeing that our driveway is WAY too steep to drive down all the time.

We also planted the remaining garden beds with carrots, radishes, beetroot, parsnips, turnips, swede, lettuce, broccoli, more beans, lots more onions, loads of peas, and a few spring onions. We have five pumpkin seedlings that are growing nicely, and our strawberries are thriving. We thank God for cherry tomatoes, as they are the only thing Zemmy will do tricks for...(like returning from going up the driveway towards the road). Well, they are the only thing until the strawberries ripen.

Sharlene is now 23 weeks on in her pregnancy and I got to feel the new bub move this week for the first time. (This one doesn't like to perform much either it seems).

Lastly, we will leave you with a couple of pics from Zem and his eating etiquette...

Short day - long day

Tomorrow will be a short working day for me on account that I will be leaving early to drive Sharlene to get our second ultrasound done. After that we will be back up in Newcastle for our next Auslan night.

Sharlene said today that Zem is impressing people with his attempts to copy pitch in our voices. She has begun to make a new blanket for the new bub. It looks like it will be a bit feminine...maybe we will find out tomorrow if we should alter that or not.
