Ella in the Garden

Aunt Angie, Uncle Johnnie and Alex bought Ella a Gardening kit for her Third Birthday last month.  She loves being a big girl out in the Garden.

Here are some more pics from our trip to Australia.

About to get on the plane from Leinster (the mining site Mick works on).

Ella on Christmas morning

Christmas - Outback Style, Bry found a branch off a tree and we decorated it with party poppers and wrapping paper! How's that for improvisation.

Australia Trip

So it's been months since I've posted, definitely a long overdue post! Here is a collection of pictures from our recent trip to Australia in December / January.  They are a little scattered and out of order but you will get a taste of our wonderful trip away.  My brother Michael flew the whole family out to the Nickel Mining Site where he works and as you will see from some of the pics, this is considered to be in the 'Outback' therefore it was quite the cultural experience!

Mick and Bry walking off into the outback sunset!

Ella hanging out at the pool

This is an aerial shot of the open cut mine - it goes 2km's underground!

Some more pics from Mick's work 

My brother Mick and Jade had organized a surprise B'day party for me and I was truly surprised, it wasnt until about 2 hours into the evening I realized everyone was there for me!

One of the things I love to do back home is have a Cappuccino on the cafe strip.  Ella wanted to be like mommy so she ordered a Babyccino! How cute.

My mom took Ella to a music class and anyone who knows Ella wont be surprised to hear she LOVED it!
