Jackson figuring out that this button makes the music on his new entertainment centre extravaganza! (big red)Thanks Granny!
We really enjoy spending some time with friends, on Tuesday we were at Tim and Caz's for fish and chips and on Friday Kylie and Adam came over for pizza with their adorable children Brodie (pictured here trying to get away from Jacksons prying paws - notice his hand on her leg!) and Dakoda (? spelling) who is a great big brother! We were in the same birth class and have enjoyed going through new baby trials and tribulations together. Brodie is such a little girl, so quiet and polite and smiling, Jackson on the other hand is LOUD (Harding gene comming through strong!)

Cute boys
Loving being in big red!

It has been a while since I have posted - a lot has happened. My Aunty Carmel (mums sister) passed away last week, mum was in Melbourne to be with her sister while she was on life support in Hospital, surrounded by many of her family and close friends. Thank you to Joy for naming her in their pray list, and everyone who sent their support and love to our family at this sad time.

Allen and Angie have moved to Germany with their little girl Ashlyn and all arived safe and sound. We are anxious to hear how life will pan out for them in their new country!

I have settled in well to my new role as Information Manager for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, and am enjoying the challenge of the new role.

Brad is busy with projects at work, and with caring for our son who is currently teething. Need I say more?

Mahind has found a special place in Jackson's heart, she is a treasure to our family. Knowing he recieves such good care and love from her enables us to concentrate on building a future. She is very in tune with him and advises me on any issues with him, she even gave me lunch one morning when i commented on how truely amazing her home smelled with her cooking! It was delicious! A persian meat dish with salad and bread.

We have just come home from visiting some new friends as Lachlan (where Brad and I hope to buy a home in a year or so) I know we keep saying in a year or so but we really think we can make it this time! My cousin Justin is helping with some financial advice (stop spending money christal) so the house hunt is on hold untill we - well basically have some money! anway - we really enjoyed our time with Patrick and Linda and their children, turns out I was in the same ante natal class as Jessica - lindas eldest daughter - small town this Hobart!
We all distinctly remembered the nut case of a midwife who acted out the stages of labour before us on the floor.

I also pickled beetroot last night - we have the GREATEST neighbours who each week give us a heap of fresh veges from their organic garden out near the airport - they fled from Laos and came to Australia years ago, and have a large stall at Salamaca where they sell their produce. anway - we had so many fresh beetroots that I decided to cook up some and pickle them - we'll see how they go!

Love to everyone
