playgroup & driving cars
Heya!! (as they say here...but I think only in emails?) Aubrey and I had playgroup today with our friends here....I finally brought along my camera, but really only snapped a few of the adorable babies! People always ask me what my favourite photography subject is....I think I am leaning more and more towards maternity, newborns and babies!

aubrey : coal miner's daughter
Aubrey is 15 months and loving it....well for the most part anyway. We tend to have a lot of fun together, she is social (but on her own terms....she can take a few minutes to warm up to people). She loves to wear her shoes, mommy's shoes, & occasionally daddy's shoes. She makes me laugh with her big cheeky grin, no matter how tired I am getting after a long day. When I am kneeling on the floor for the hundredth time , picking up discarded food from her meal that she mostly just picked at, feeling very much exhausted, I feel these little arms wrap around my back in a big hug. All my frustrations melt away. When she is whiny and clinging onto my legs while i try and clean, she makes up for it when I finally give her my attention and she giggles when I tickle her, then looks up at me with her gorgeous blue eyes when i stop , nods and says "yep" matter-of-factly to inform me she would like some more tickles please.
Thank the Lord for making a mother's job so worth it every day with all of these rewards!

A good teeth shot with Daddy's headlamp on.
Working the "fake" laugh
Pretty Eyes
We bought her a new skirt today at Cotton On Kids. Doesn't it match the headlamp perfectly?
PeeEss: you would think it was Mother's Day! Two girls that I love just posted about their mom's, prepare to be moved.

aubrey : 15 months old
Wow! Bree is growing so fast! Turning from a baby girl into a little girl before our eyes. For more of her 15 month photos check out my photography blog .
I haven't posted many pictures because she is getting so hard to photograph! She sees the camera and runs the other way. Cheeky little thing!
After a little play in the rain, time to shower off!
One of her favourite things to do is to sit in the front and play with the steering wheel and buttons. Notice the carpet (aka "mustache") on our dashboard?
Ben is in the 3rd week of his 2nd semester here at www.ywamsbs.com on the Sunny Coast. This week he is working on the book of John. I try and study the same books each week, of course in a lot less depth. It is pretty hard for me to watch Aubrey and sit through any lectures, but something i have really enjoyed is listening to SBS lectures on podcast. They aren't the same speakers Ben's school has, but they are really good teachers, so knowledgeable. Check out thesbspodcast.com - or type that into the search bar of your iTunes. These are not sermons, they are lectures on books of the Bible. In order to properly study the Word, you need to understand who the Author is, who the Original Reader is, and historical context of the date of the letter. VERY cool stuff!! For me, it makes the Bible come alive and proves is validity and authority.
Thankfully this week has been full of sunshine!

Australia Flooding
Hey Family!
Quick update that we are doing great and where we are living isn't expected to flood. 1000s of others are much less fortunate. For the past several months Queensland has been inundated with rain. After nearly 10 years of drought, the ground simply can't hold anymore water. We've been witnessing the affects of that over the last several days and will continue to do so over the days ahead.
In our area most of the rain has caused roads and agricultural land to flood, not so much the homes(although there are a few). As you can see from the attached video that isn't the case in many parts of the state.
Despite the sun being out today, tomorrow is expected to bring flood levels higher than the previous big flood of 1974. In Brisbane alone they are evacuating well over 10,000 homes despite little to no rain on some parts of the coast. The tides mixing in with the draining rain water is causing most of the problem along the coast. In-land it is simply the quantity of rain.
All of that to say Australians need new houses, cars, businesses, food, clean water, a massive clean up effort, and prayer. Most of us probably won't be providing houses and cars, but at the very least we can pray.
If you were planning a visit to the Sunny Coast, we are expected to maintain a steady drop of rain for the next 8-10 weeks so you may want to rethink your plans!
Love to you All!
