Busy Weeks in the Alice

Sorry for the long gap between posts.  Its been pretty busy around here.  First, both boys have learned to roll over.  Now, they both learned to go from their tummies to their back pretty early, but last week they managed to get from their backs to bellies (and back again).  Pretty exciting stuff for us.  Gavin did it first on Nov 9 and Braden quickly followed on Nov 11.

This week was also my birthday (Nov 18).  Ian generously offered to get up with Braden both for the 3AM and 6AM feedings, which would've been wonderful except Gavin decided it was time to prepare for a growth spurt and he also woke up at 3AM.  Ian did go in late to work, so he made me waffles as my birthday breakfast.

I then took Jamie to Ineke's and the babies to my friend, Amie's for the morning.  I got to go see the very first showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I at the Alice Springs Cinema.  It was a great movie and a wonderful way to spend the morning.  Amie also had us all over for dinner that evening and made Beef Stroganoff and a birthday cake.  All in all, a great day.

So, we've had a very rainy November here.  Wouldn't be notable, except that its pretty unusual to have rain in November, let alone nearly 100mm in one week. 

So, the Todd River flowed again.  This time it closed one of the two crossings from our side of town.  It is truly beautiful when there is water in the river.

We are definitely taking advantage of the mild summer to spend as much time outside as we can.
