Second Birthday for Nev & New Family Addition: Livia Opal

Lots has been happening here at our residence: we have a new 6lb (2.755kg) addition to the family, someone has turned 2, and my mom is here visiting/being a huge help.

LOTS to post & catch up. Will do that sometime in the near future. I will get on top of everything including a visit at Easter from Cam's parents, but first the very important things...


NEVLIN turned 2 on the 20th of March. Here was the inside of his invitation, cheeky to the max.

He celebrated in style with a crown made at day care. On his birthday, he and all his friends made crowns, but his was the only one that said 2. Here he is with Sophie at the playground where we had his party.

Cam & I made his cake, but more importantly we also decorated it. It turned out really awesome, if we did say so ourselves. He enjoyed it & is absolutely in love with puppies. 

 We kept it a surprise for Nevlin until the party. He loved it & had a great time with his party.

IN OTHER NEWS: April 24 saw the addition of a little lady to our household: Livia Opal. She came into the world weighing in at 6lbs or 2.755kg. I had a c-section and both of us were a bit pale at the end of it all, but we came out pretty good. 

Here is my first look up after she was born at 3:20 in the afternoon. I was pretty heavily numb, but could feel her breath on my neck. She was only 46cm long or just over 18". 

My mom known to all of us here in South Australia as "Busha." She and Nevlin got in a few good cuddles on daily visits to the hospital. We were in from Friday and came home on Monday.

Here is Livia coming home from the hospital. It was a bit chilly, but we mostly really just loved her home-made hat. More photos of the little lady to come. W E L C O M E little Livia!
