MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. February 22, 2012. It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas (2010). Another thing we did to get ready for Christmas was to decorate "Grandma's" tree. My mother-in-law's tradition is that the youngest member of the family gets to put the star on the tree so here is our attempt at getting Jaren to do so. It was a fun night. Stay tuned for more shots of everyone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Its Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas (2010).

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. June 30, 2013. ECOSWAY's Grand Opening Aug 2011. My Mother-in-Law Michaela, and her cousin Gabriela opened their own eCosway store in Toombul Shopping Center. They had done a lot of network marketing and work to get to this point and we were excited to come to their grand opening and see their beautiful store. We have loved the products they've given us over the years and are so proud of all their work. Here she is, the lady-of-the-hour herself, ringing in the first store purchase.

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. March 29, 2014. Welcome to Salalah (Oct 2011). Next stop: SALALAH. Ok, isn't that a great word? Great tongue twister if you try to say it 5 times. Have I mentioned that we did 17. Flights on this trip. We got to be such pros. However this flight was not one without mishaps. So Reid and I were pretty happy in our seats as you can see, but Jaren and Varian had a bit of a different story. I wish I had gotten a better "before and after" picture of the nice man all dressed in his white.

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. May 30, 2013. The day of the move and we had lots of lovely ward men come and help with all the heavy lifting both in Brisbane and in Ipswich. Also a big thanks to my parents-in-law: Warren helped with the move all day, and Michaela watched Jaren for me which was a life saver. Luckily Mr. Swing and Reid got along very well that day, poor neglected kid! Here is a shot of us on this busy day, to say goodbye to Reid's first home. Ah, moving is exhausting! But nice when it's all done.

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. February 17, 2013. Hello Baby Reid- May 16, 2011. For those of you who don't remember from Jaren's birth posts, I sadly have to have c-sections for my babies. We discovered I have a heart-shaped uterus (because I'm so full of love) and both of my boys have been breached and therefore unable to be delivered normally (and by normally I mean including an epidural - Australia's crazy hippy ways haven't rubbed that much off on me! The 1st doctor above was in training and lucky-me I was sele...

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. April 22, 2013. Here's another month of miscellaneous photos from our happy/random. Life and getting settled into having two kids at home. I don't particularly. Remember why we had our pans all over our living room floor. Possibly sorting through donations to see if we could match lids/sort sizes. But Jaren got a kick out of this (who needs expensive toys). It looks like he's ready to go into the oven. Varian likes to rough-it and grow a beard when he's home from work. Nasty to clean up.

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. August 27, 2012. Varian's Birthday Beach Day (April 2011). We then went to Bribie Island where we had never been before, and had a lovely beach day. So I loved these photos I got of Varian and Jaren at the beach. Varian got these ones of Jaren and I playing in the water. I sat there feeling the sand and sun and breathing in the day. Varian and Jaren were in a different place on the beach digging away in the sand. I came over to see what they were building and this is what I saw. Here's...

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. September 27, 2012. We love seeing them and were excited to have a chance to bond. Happy pre-Easter 2011! September 24, 2012. Tidbits of April 2011. September 6, 2012. A Work in Progress. This giant skiff was placed in front of our house for months, ruining our glass and cement edging and filling up again and again with plaster and cupboards and everything else that made up the inside of our home. Meanwhile all our plants were growing wild and unkempt. Maybe one day he'll be a chauffeur.

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. July 21, 2012. Final Flood Post (it's a long one). I ran around frantically making piles of things we wanted to try and save, while all these sweet ladies washed all our kitchen dishes outside with our hose and all these men lifted out the fridge and the beds and dressers and heavy broken furniture. We bagged up all that we thought we could take, and loaded up people's cars with things to take back to Michaela's house for disinfecting. Really moving to Australia was a much bigger trial...

MEMOIRS OF A LEAH. August 26, 2013. Jaren's poor skin and more! This is just a mini post of a few things in October of 2011 before I begin our giant travel section of the blog. The rest of October and November were filled with traveling adventures! To be continued.) Before that however, Jaren broke out in this crazy rash and spots. Poor little boy who had so much of it! Even as I write this his poor tummy is covered in new bumpy rash spots that for months we haven't been able to get rid of. Jaren was obs...
