Here's the Newest Little Van I

Baby JAK is only 20 weeks old this week and having a jolly old time inside his Mummy. S/He has been a great baby so far...hasn't made Mum sick once!
I have just started to feel JAK move...which makes this whole pregnancy thing so very real! I am certainly getting bigger and slower, but I know, 'you ain't seen nothing yet!' Seeing JAK in the ultrasound room was very exciting, so was the news that both baby and Mum are doing fine. Daddy's pretty fine too!
We have started playing 'the name game' and it's proving somewhat controversial! J doesn't like my names and so far, I haven't been a fan of the 1 one name he has suggested. Hmmm....lucky there's 4 months to go before JAK actually needs a proper name.
In other baby-related news....we have officially sold our Carry-Me-Camper! The money is in the bank, but not for long as J will spend part of the weekend looking at new toys..AKA motorbikes! The camper gets delivered to her new owners in the next couple of days and while I am a little sad to say goodbye, I will be saying a big 'hello' to having our style side back for the Navara. So now, back to tenting. Gotta get one though coz our last one got blown to pieces up at the top of the cape last September:)

Lately...

Remodeling the footpath, family visits, Easterfest in Toowoomba and a
big bill from the mechanic.
Ahhhh! It's been a great couple of weeks.
A highlight of Easter - apart from remembering Jesus' amazing love
and sacrifice - was hanging out with friends in Toowoomba and getting
along to 3 days of fun at Easterfest. It was Jon's first go at EF and
being the sound buff he is, he had a ball. We discovered a few new
bands that hit the sweet spot and revisited some old favourites.
Newsboys still know how to rock!
Spent time with my family in Nanango on the way down and enjoyed a
mud crab lunch and wood fired pizza dinner. Why is food always such
a big part of family celebrations? Not sure, but I know I like it
like that:)
The remodeled footpath was simply Jon and his Dad going crazy with
the chainsaw and taking away one of our big trees. But I am happy,
despite losing some shade, because A. the rubbish truck can now
collect my bin and B. those stinky, sticky seed pods are gone! Maybe
it's a 'nesting' thing happening already, but there's a few other
round the house jobs I am eager to get done in the next couple of
months.
We had to get a new clutch put in our faithful Navara...hence the
bill. But with things looking up re: the sale of the camper, we
should clear that bill soon. And hopefully have money left over for
Jon to make his next toy purchase...a motorbike.
So the days are good and all's well here. Baby JAK was described as
'a happy camper' by the doc the other day, so that makes Mummy
and Daddy pretty happy too:)

Our niece Andie, a happy camper:)

The boys go to town with the chainsaw.

Jon rocks out at Easterfest....Yo! KJ-52!

Andie rocks out too!

Bye bye Easterfest...you were GREAT!!!

And we'll be back:))
