Million's Paws Walk - Lake Weeroona

So Sunday we donned the sneakers and entered the cool drizzly weather at Lake Weeroona, Bendigo to participate in the RSPCA Million Paws Walk. A 3km circuit saw us engulfed by hundreds of dogs and their owners. Bella was in her element, although a rest halfway round was needed for her leg that is still recovering after her operation a few months ago...

Walking...

I enjoyed my first Mother's Day yesterday! Breakfast in bed with a nice cuppa - my darling boys! How special to now be a mum with a darling son.

We then headed out to Bridgewater to join the community in the Breast Cancer Mothers Day Classic walk.
And what a gorgeous Autumn morning it was, pure blue skies out there and so peaceful along the Loddon River. Quinn slept the whole time during his 6km walk with Danny (I could only manage the 3km walk - just!)
We have now decided as a little family to enjoy a walk every Sunday to explore the region around us and to get fit - we'd love anyone else to join with us - we plan to do a different walk each week - keep posted for our adventures - hopefully we'll take the camera this time!

Thanks to all our family, midwifes and friends for your support during the journey helping to bring a healthy, happy boy into the world.

It's been a while!

Well - where have we been these last few months!

Coping with pregnancy and moving and settling into our house is where!

I am 26 weeks pregnant and am extremely tired all the time but work and life go on and I just have to manage and get through. I am looking forward to Christmas very much as I get 10 days off to spend with my darling husband! He has been working like a trojan too with the establishment and development of the solar site at Bridgewater!

So we are waiting on a new camera at the moment, which is another reason why we haven't posted as we like to put photos here too. So when that comes along I have lots to show you!

Moving out of the old's place

Thats right Natalie and Danny have brought a house in Eaglehawk, Bendigo. Moving date is the end of July 08. After months and months of every realestate agent in Bendigo ringing everyday, trying to convince us to by their house for sale. It is a 1930s Californian Bungalow, fully renovated 3 bedroom 1 bathroom and a 4th bedroom or games room at the rear of the property. Have a look at the photos. Now there is no excuse for no visitors to this country town, Eaglehawk!!! Bye for now Danny & Nat.

Weekend Getaway

We headed out to Ballarat (Sebastapol) over the weekend. We stayed in a 1800's mansion, that is now used as Wyndham Resorts.





The beautiful old bluestone stables.


Check out this big beautiful pine (we reckon it was planted in the late 1800s as well). It was just beautiful!




Oh, these pictures were just devastating. It really highlighted how much we take water for granted and the real effect the drought is having in rural areas in Australia.




This is Lake Wendouree! Yes! The lake! Who would have guessed. The Lake solely relies on rain to fill it up - something the Council never took into account. Now the local council are working on ways to collect water to fill the lake!

Uncanny Resemblance

How's this!





Did you know? Danny's Great-great Grandfather was Australia's 1st Prime Minister! Sir Edmund Barton.
How much does Danny look like him!!
