Instagrams '14

Happy New Year every-buddy! This year sure has been a blur. Thinking back to the start of 2014, my two big goals were to find a new house, and wean Ray off his feeding tube. I'm SO happy to say that both of these things were accomplished!

{ JANUARY }


There was a vicious heatwave in January, with temperatures of 40 degrees four days in a row. UG.


There were plenty of pool visits to cool off.

Toasting the 'cool change' when it finally hit.

{ FEBRUARY }


Ray turned one! We survived his first year, and had a party to celebrate. Ray was in the party zone!


And he got some pretty cute passport photos taken.


Dry hot days at the park.

{ MARCH }


Ray and I had a trip to New Zealand, where it was considerably cooler.

{ APRIL }


We moved to our new place before Easter, and this was our moving day breakfast.

{ MAY }


We went to New Zealand at Easter time and Ray loved playing on the beach and visiting all his grandparents.


I loved the saltwater hot pools.


We spent a few days in beautiful Queenstown.


Feeding ducks and making friends.

{ JUNE }


Keeping cosy at home.


Winter meals with wine.


We escaped Winter for a bit and went to the Cook Islands for my Dad's birthday.


Dog Patrol! Our friendly dog pal.

{ JULY }


Back home again and rugging up in the cold.

{ AUGUST }


Early signs of Spring. I love it when the jasmine starts to bloom.

{ SEPTEMBER }


Coffee and doughnut treats in our new 'hood.


Lovely Spring garden.


Ray started walking which meant a lot of time spent at the park.

{ OCTOBER }


Furry face.


Amazing jasmine hedge.


Toy chaos.

{ NOVEMBER }


Backyard mussel feast.


More fun at the park, this time back in New Zealand again.


At the beach with my parents. My Dad was catching flounder.


I finally met my friend's dog Thelma, the best dog ever!

{ DECEMBER }


Ray has gotten really into climbing now!


I got Mr Meet-Cute Simpsons monopoly and we played a game on Christmas Day.


And we ate pulled pork and 'slaw.


We spent a few days in Phillip Island.


The last day of 2014 I got a new bike so I could get a baby seat for Ray. It's so fun riding with my small pal on the back! I'm looking forward to lots more of this during 2015!

Birthday helper

It was Mr Meet-Cute's birthday last month and Ray helped me with decorating and wrapping some presents.

We used these 'playon' crayons, that are good for little hands. Ray was quite interested in how they tasted. Not so much with the scribbling on the paper.

He was quite good at putting the 'finishing touch' stickers on the parcels after they were wrapped. He also contributed some lovely dribble spots.

The card!


The cake! I used this recipe to make a delicious, moist orange cake with a crunchy top. I felt it needed a bit more birthday festive-ness though so I added the heap of chocolate ganache to top it off.

Queens Park

While I was at my parents place we took Ray for lots of walks in Queens Park. It was all lovely and Autumny there.


We fed the ducks.


And went to the playground.


Saw some animals …


… and birds!


We went into the hothouse too.

And Ray had a good time on the swings.
