Angus in a big bed

Back at the start of August Angus made the leap (literally) from cot to big bed... and after only a few nights he even started to sleep in it rather than on the floor!

Big beds are always more fun with friends!

Angus has become quite fond of his b'ball and it has made the move into the new big bed too.

Long weekend in the Western District

We decided to take a mid term long weekend and make the trip back to the Western District for some fresh country air. We all felt really at home at both Janna and Kate's farms and it was just nice to be back home, seeing the Grampians and enjoying time with old friends.

Doing circle work in Kate's paddocks. The kids were fascinated by the sheep "getting a hair cut".

Gotta love climbing trees in the country!

It got pretty cold once the rain came down and we had to walk back through the cold paddocks. Lucky Dad was there to save the day.

The normal state of walking with our family - Abi in the front and the others wandering behind.

Birthday bowling

The Pike family August b'days were celebrated with some good old fashioned family fun at the bowling alley and then cake and coffee back at our house. The kids did better than most of the adults and I don't think it had anything to do with the bumpers and ramp that they got to use!

Boy cuddles

Even big boys like to have cuddles with their mum and occasionally fall asleep in mum's arms.
