Holiday's

Well, it's April already, what has happened to the year!? We are all going well and keeping out of mischief. Ashton is becoming a little boy now and is so cute. He is trying to find his place in the world and talking lots. We get a lot of joy and laughs from him and love watching him develop. I am nearly 29 weeks pregnant and all is going well with me and baby. I am a little more tired this time, so trying to take it easier this time.

We went to Tasmania for a holiday and a chance to have a break before B2 arrives. We spent 3 days in the gorgeous Cradle Mountain and did a bit of walking (as much as I and Ashton could handle!). The weather was lovely and cool and the scenery very picturesque. It was Edwin's first trip to Tassie where he didn't hike for at least 5 days! We then headed to Hobart for the rest of the time as Edwin had a conference to attend. Ashton and I took it easy as we both caught a cold. Hobart is such a pretty city. Ashton went on his first bus ride there, a double decker Red London Bus, and he loved it.

Back home now and busy trying to get a few things done around the house before baby arrives, including some house alterations (yeah right, like that will be finished!).

Edwin is busy with work and enjoying the new challenges that he sets himself. He is plugging away at his PhD and will hopefully submit the first draft by the end of the year.

Apart from that, we are well and hope you are well too.

Love, Tessa, Edwin and Ashton, and B2

Happy New Year

Well, it's hard to believe that we are past the half way mark in January already! We hope you had a lovely Christmas with your families and that 2008 brings wonderful times for you.
We had a quiet Christmas at home and spending time with family. It was nice to have Edwin at home for a couple of weeks and just potter around. Ashton had a fun Christmas and did very well on the present front, as nephews and grandchildren do!
2008 will be a great year with baby 2 on the way (currently 18 weeks pregnant). Ashton has started daycare for one day a week and seems to be enjoying playing with all the other kids.
The business (Trevor-Roberts Associates) looks to be taking yet another big leap forward this year, it is great to watch it blossom and see all the hard work pay off.
We hope you have a wonderful 2008. Remember: Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a Present.
Love, Edwin, Tessa, Ashton and B2

Exciting News!

Edwin, Ashton and I have some exciting news, we are expecting our second child on 23 June 2008. The first trimester was a bit tough, and very pleased to be at the end of it (Edwin too...). We went for the scan today and the baby is going well - and no, we don't know whether it is a boy or girl yet!

With that, I am also getting a new car to fit in the expanding family - we bought a Subaru Forester and hopefully we might get delivery just before Christmas, but will see.

Love,

Tessa, Edwin and Ashton

Some Cute Pics!

Update

We have been keeping busy. Ashton and I went up to Townsville a few weeks back so Edwin could get stuck into some study for a few days. Ashton and I have a lovely time catching up with family and friends. We all then headed to Melbourne on the 16th Nov for our nieces 21st Birthday celebrations. Edwin and Jono then did an Adventure Race in Melb. having a ball and finishing 36th out of over 150 teams - Well Done Guys!Can't believe Christmas is on our doorstep - what happened to 2007? We hope our message finds you well and looking forward to that well earned Christmas break. Bye for now from the T-R's

Snowy Pics !

Lots of fun was had by all at the snow!
Edwin and I just had our 5th Wedding Anniversary - how time flies! We have done a lot in the last five years, travel, buying a house, starting a family and it has all been wonderful. I also had my 35th Birthday and was completely spoilt - clothes shopping, day spa's, dinner with family, books, new camera, and a games night. What a week of celebrating! We hope that our Blog finds you well. Love, Tessa, Edwin and Ashton

Let it snow!

Bit slow with the update from the snow - it wonderful wintery time was had by all with pretty good skiing conditions and lots of white stuff. It was great to get the skis out again and dusk them off on the slopes, just like riding a bike! Ashton was a bit young to really enjoy it, but next time should be much better. He did enjoy going for walks in the backpack and looking around. Play time outside was a little hard in his snow suit! But, mum and dad had a great time, as did the rest of the family.
We are all going well here, fighting a cold again, but apart from that we are great. Ashton has walking all sorted and working on the running bit now. He is absolutely delightful and fills our home with laughter and joy-it is such a lovely age. He is developing his little personality and is pretty clear on what he does and doesn't want, and is certainly not backwards on letting us know.
We hope our email finds you all well.
Love,
Edwin, Tessa and Ashton
