Mr Up and About!

Here are some new pics of Ashton exploring his toy box!

March Update

Ashton is off and racing - he started crawling last week and is really getting the hang of it now. The surprise on my face when he came crawling into the kitchen would have been worth a photo! He is just adorable and thinks he is quite the clever little boy. So with crawling and his top front teeth coming through, it has been quite the eventful week. Ashton will be 8 months old on Thursday -how time flies!

Edwin and I are well. Edwin is busy training for another adventure race being held this Sunday and absolutely loving it. We go out to the forest on Saturday's so Edwin can train and I take Ashton in the backpack for a walk. All this outdoor activity keeps both the boys happy (Ashton is definately his father's son!) and hopefully will improve my fitness too!

Next month is Edwin's 30th (about time he caught up to me!). We are looking forward to celebrating with family and then I'm taking him away for a holiday - will reveal the destination upon our return as it is a surprise! It's that perfect time of the year for a bit of a break, we can't wait.

We hope you are enjoying the Blog, it's a fun way to stay in contact. Don't forget to leave a message if you have time. Until next time, bye and take care.

Love, ETA!

Tropical Holiday

We had our first trip to the tropical north Townsville with Ashton in February. Edwin had some business to do and we caught up with our family up there. It was nice to get away for a bit and catch up with my sister and see my nephew who had not met Ashton yet. Ashton enjoyed the swimming and took any opportunity he could to get his gear off!!!

T-R Update

We are all going well and keeping busy. Edwin has been very busy with work since he started back in January - the year is looking very promising for the business and very exciting too. I have started doing some project work for the business to keep my finger on the pulse and keep my brain working. Nothing like a bit of pocket money too! Ashton is keen to be on the move and showing early signs of crawling already - but I think if he had his way he would be running first! He is a very busy child and for some strange reason a real extravert! Gee, wonder where he got that from. Well, all is going well, and hope our message finds you well too.

Love,

Growing Up

Ashton now has two teeth with more on the way! They are so cute - but poor child having a mother who is and ex-dental assistant - he already has a tooth brush and is getting his two little teeth brushed! He is going okay with it all, chewing everything and dribbling like there's not a drought in sight!

Christmas

We all had a wonderful Christmas with both our families here on Christmas Eve. We played games, chatted, played golf and didn't eat too much! Christmas day was busy with breakfast at my dad's then lunch at Eloise's (Edwin's sister). Ashton seemed to enjoy his first Christmas, even if he did get sensory overload and kept us awake for two nights in a row! It is true, children really do change the meaning of Christmas and make it more special.

Happy New Year - we hope 2007 brings you joy and happiness!
