Footy

In this house full of princesses the only MAN THING that Dave gets is Football. He follows Adelaide Crows AFL and Penrith Panthers Rugby League but if either of these teams are not on he can be found watching any sport to get his fix. This year we have got Foxtel so that Dave can keep up to date with all his AFL on the new Fox Footy Channel. If I walk out of the room for a second the channel gets changed and there is no hope of it getting changed back. Each year as soon as the season starts I know I take a second seat when the football is on.

I can still talk to Dave when the foootball is on, however I have learnt that if I want him to actually hear me, I should talk to him when the footy isn't on.

Recently Adelaide was playing on the Gold Coast so we all went along to the game, it was the first game for the girls. Even through they didn't really watch they enjoyed the activities that the Gold Coast Suns put on for the kids and the adventure of it all. The backpack full of treats also helped keep them interested.

Dave didn't think taking a trip to the football was a photo taking opportunity

Josephine and I thought otherwise 
Monique has been brainwashed to go for Adelaide, she's had that top since she was two, it now fits.

Brainwashed Adelaide supporter not caring that she is surrounded by Gold Coast Suns Fans.

I started to blog when a became pregnant with Riley and now, it is one of the few things i have to remember him by. We lost our darling little boy on 16th February 2010 at 31 weeks. I had a feeling that something was not right, that he hadn't moved much in the days leading up to his arrival so called the hospital and was told to come straight in to get checked out. I was concerned but thought that everything would be OK. Riley didn't move much or maybe is was that i'm always so busy that i only ever noticed it at night when i went to bed. When i was pregnant with the girls; we would see feet sticking out, so clearly that you could count their toes. This never happened with Riley and I put it down to being a different baby, he never really bothered me much at all. I was much less sick with Riley then i was with the girls that is for sure. I had to carry zip lock bags with me every where with the girls and with Riley I was sick but he always allowed me enough time to get to

Choosing Hope

 An open letter to all As October marks International Pregnancy and Infant loss month it is time for many families to reflect on the impact one little soul has had on their lives even if it has been for such a short time.  In 2010 we were awaiting the arrival of our third baby, our first boy. On the day that we found out Riley was a boy; my husband had a spring in his step as he planned our son’s future sporting career and when would be a good time to retire from local club footy to take on a coaching role. We were so excited and never ever did we expect that our only son would never get to come home with us. We were a busy young family with two girls aged 4 and 2, like any family a new baby brings about much planning, hospital appointments on a weekly basis as my pervious babies arrived a little early and running around being the mum with all hats on at once. We had brought a new house to accommodate the new member of our family, set up his room and washed all his clothes, we
