Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.


Snow falling in our street.














Snow on the paddocks near Carlsrhue.














First Woodend exit, where did Mt Macedon go.














Car coming from Woodend near Kyneton.













Sleepy Snowman.













Its snowing! Today we woke to the text messages from locals spreading the word that snow was on the way. Sure enough by mid morning the rain started to move in slow motion and swirl around a little bit. We were looking forward to a day in town working and catching up with family, but by the time we got to the first Woodend turn off we were getting a little nervous about travelling home later this evening. With more snow forecast we headed for Kyneton to stare wistfully out the window and sip our cups of tea.

Growing Up


























































Our little man is growing up. He's sitting up, eating everything that can be mashed or pureed, and bordering on crawling (he's going to be such a handful in this house). We're all well, managed to pretty much shake our bugs, and we seem to be putting up with our first winter in this chilly part of Victoria, we might even be enjoying it. There is apparently snow in Daylesford this morning, which means there's probably snow in Trentham, very exciting. We've had regular rain, but not heaps of it and water storage's don't seem to be moving to quickly out here, so it looks like stage four for another summer.
Champs is such a wonderful mother, Otis loves filling his days in her space, the two of them giggle their way through the days. She's been baking Cakes ( for Dad's Birthday ), Savory tarts, pies & loads of soup every other day. Her days are still pretty long, as as well as Otis is going with his settling, he's not sleeping for long periods. Hope all are well and look forward to seeing you in our neck of the woods or yours soon.

The Firmans Visit













































Today we had the pleasure of a visit from Maddy, Marley and Tash. Although a bit chilly, Kyneton managed to turn on a suitable outdoor day for a quick hide and seek session in the garden (which is very wintry, but very green, lots of rain). The girls were very sweet with little Otis, and he was beat when they left, all that female attention is a bit much for a man.
