Beach on one side and trees on the other - both brad and I were in our elements during our Easter camping trip to Bruny Island
o.k so this post is back the front - I'm tired and dont' have time to "*&* around with it. Just quickly Brad and I have both been so busy so we appologise for not e-mailing, calling, blogging or basically having any contact with humans - like I said - busy. Brad got a promotion to Buisness Analyst and is in Camberra ACT (capital of Australia) for his first day on the new job meeting with clients. I am flat out at work with one meeting after another trying to raise Program awareness among Health care professionals, and Jackson is adjusting to our crazy life. As you will read he has had a busy Easter, and tomorrow we hope to get something to help his reflux which is making his little life difficult and painful at times. so here goes! enjoy
The boys on Bruny Island for Easter
"wear did all the chips ahoy go?!" Jackson spent a good part of his day with the empty wrapper. I had previously spent almost 30 dollars on new chew/teething soothers and baby rattles - but he preferred the cookie wrapper. Nice.
Sitting by the fire, not having showered for 2 nights, spewed up on over my entire shoulder, coffee in hand and loving every minute of it. This was the most relaxed I've been since Jackson's birth.
The light is so beautiful in the morning among the gum trees and Jackson was just happy to be there with his dad, soaking up all the wilderness sounds and sights.camping - a word that has not been in my vocabulary since I was 15 due to my fear of snakes. It ended up being a fantastic trip, made all better with good friends Tim and Caz to share the camp site with. We were at Bruny Island for 3 days - no shower, no running water, no t.v no computers, no phones, just BEACH, TREES and US! It was just the best getting away from everything
Note the GIANT bibs - our son has a spit up problem that has turned a little more serious than most. He has begun projectile vomiting and is suffering from the dreaded reflux which is causing him pain, it is horrible to see his little face squish up due to the burning and awful taste - he also has "silent reflux" where he swallows it back down meaning it burns twice and makes him gag and cough. he is going to the doctors tomorrow afternoon to get some medicine as all the common sence things arn't working.
playing ride the horse with dad and loving it
Not happy after a vomit - my poor baby.

Congratulations Brad on your promotion! Moving up quickly, that's impressive and I am proud of you. Christal I hope your new job is all that you wanted it to be - sounds like an important mission you have and I am proud of you too. Jack looks very happy and I am sorry to hear about the reflux - seems it's become a common ailment in my extended family. Need to get that under control early before ending up like me with Barrett’s esophagus and having to choke down for an exam every year. I am very envious of your camping trip - now I think Christal that you were older than 15 when you and Brad went off camping during his first visit to Queensland...right...but I do remember that Brad said you were on constant watch for snakes any time you walked down a trail...thanks for updating your site and thanks very much for the pictures of all of you! Love, B/D/P
Great pictures - it sounds like a wonderful trip. I love camping so it looks like loads of fun. Glad to were able to get a weekend away from it all and truly relax
Sorry to hear about Jackson's reflux. Ashlyn had it, too, but outgrew it within the first year. I hope the same for Jackson.
Love the pictures. The weekend sounds great, but I really do love a daily shower!
