The Next MS Readathon Champion!

Reading with Daddy. Lachlan's favourite book is 'Dear Zoo' It is really amazing how he enjoys it - he just quietens down and really looks at the pictures.

Growing so fast!!!

Gran's Birthday

We went for a picnic for Gran's birthday. Lachlan had fun with his Uncle and cousins!

Lachlan's Dedication Day

Today, we are here to dedicate Lachlan to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We would like to give thanks to God for blessing us with Lachlan. We acknowledge that God is the giver of life and know that God knew Lachlan before he was conceived. He chose us to be his parents and we consider this to be a very special blessing.
This is something we do not take lightly and we acknowledge the awesome responsibility that comes from being a parent.
Today we want to commit ourselves to raising Lachlan in a way that would bring glory to God. We commit to sharing God’s Word with Lachlan and to be Godly examples for him to follow. We understand this is a daunting task and we trust that God will give us wisdom to know His will.
There is a song that someone wrote for their son, and the words say “if I could, I would protect you from what you will see. This world may offer love and beauty, but it lied to me. So I will teach you, if you will listen and I promise to listen too. “
We would love to protect Lachlan from the evils in this world, but we know that this is not possible. Lachlan, we will teach you and we will love you, and we pray that God would protect you.

‘Lachlan’ means Warrior. It has been a fight to become Lachlan’s parents…….

Our little man!

Well Lachlan is growing up and learning new things everyday. We've found he's quite talkative...to who ever and whatever. He often amuses himself looking out the window making all sort of noises. He loves other people talking to him as well. He's also discovered his fist as an alternative to his dummy.....actually, I think he prefers his fist.

The last few weeks he's had a bit of a cold and cough, but now he's well and truly over that.

Anyway, here's a few picture for all those keeping up with the progress of "our little man".

He really can smile.....real nice!

Lachlan and cousin Sarah! I think he's be spoilt by his two cousions Sarah and Hannah...they really "dote" over him!

Thanks Stu

Here's the little man in his Raiders gear. You wont believe it, but our friend Stuart (who happens to be a Parramatta supporter) got Lachlan this new outfit. At least he knows what's best for the little fella! Thanks STU!

Daddy and Lachlan out with the birds!

"Lachlan, this is a budgerigar"

"Lachlan, what do you think of OUR birds?"

Mummy and Lachlan! Mum's touch always seems to do the trick when it comes to getting Lachy to sleep.
Lachlan is a great snuggler!

Isn't he just beautiful!

I am thinking of patenting this technique for dealing with "up the backers!". There is just no way of getting a good go at it if they are on their back! Try it...it works!

First Family Photo

This is the our first family photo, taken at church on Sunday 1 July 2007...mum and dad are looking a bit tired!

Nadine and Emily come to Visit

This weekend was very busy for all of us. On Saturday, cousin Nadine came to visit with little Emily. We had a great time together. Nadine and Emily gave Lachlan a new teddy.

Dad's first day back at work

Daddy went back to work. Upon arriving home Dad was met with some big big smiles. He definately missed his daddy during the day.

Babies don't smile until they are 6 weeks....or so they say!

Lachlan had a visitor today...his cousin Hannah. He was just so happy to see her and was continually smiling at her for at least 10 minutes. We are enjoying Lachlan so much....honestly, a gift from God!
