Thomas update

It's been some time between drinks but there's a lot been happening so I thought I better make an appearance on the family blog.

The latest event for us has been Thomas's first birthday. We had invited a lot of friends and family so we decided to have the party down at our local park, Playford park. Fortunately, it didn't rain and everyone had a great day. Thomas loved everyone singing him Happy Birthday so much so that now any time that he hears Happy Birthday sung, he thinks it's for him!



Not too long ago I happened to turn the big three zero and had a few friends and family gather for dinner at the Como Hotel. It was a cold night but fantastic to see everyone there. I was lucky enough to have an iPhone cake and get a real iPhone for my birthday. You can see photos here:



The world welcomed a new Jeffers into the world on the 21st of July. Liam Jeffers of Clogherhead, Ireland was born an amazing 11 pounds 2 oz and his Mum and Dad (Keira and Scott) are extremely happy. "Little" Liam is going great and had his christening last Sunday. Liam has also been lucky enough to have Nanna Jeffers from Australia visit. We'll be seeing them all at Christmas and it will be the first time they see Thomas and our first time seeing Liam. Here's some photos of Liam:

Other than that, Thomas has been having lots of fun with his friends including Taya, Max and Will. Plus, we had a huge haul of oranges from our own orange tree in Autumn.

Also, not long after my last blog we had a visit from Matt, Maria and Ella. We had great fun when they arrived, plus we went to the park, a farm and to the beach. We're hoping to see them again in 2009 with another little one in tow!

Lastly, we're going away to Cairns next week for Bec & Glenn's wedding. It's our first official holiday with Thomas and it will be Thomas's first ride on an airplane. We can't wait to go just to have some time away from everything and have a good rest. Hopefully the weather is great and we can spend lots of time in the pool. We'll have some photos of all the events up there when we get back.
