Mia Mia Station {Caretaking}




Our final stop for the year, is back at Mia Mia Station to care take while the owners head south for some much needed time with their family.


It was a lot of work to pack up out of the cottage and Lyndon, back into the camper and then back into a house again.  Not that, in summer we would ever consider living in the camper up here but I do dread the pack up when we leave here in January.

So far Justin has had a wonderful time, doing an array of different things.  If he had his way and could make it work we would be out here forever and as much as I do love the people and the places, it isn’t a forever location for me.  Realistically it simply isn’t practical.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Hard to believe that this was our final stop for the year.  Whilst we’ve had a visit to Lyndon for a birthday party, a Christmas party at Bullara, a day in Coral Bay x 2 and plenty of visits to the neighbours we are really in one place.  One big house with gardens to water and floors to clean.

 




We have been blessed to also have had some visitors while we have been here the last month or so.  Dad surprised me by showing up one night, with no warning and then hanging out with us for a little over a week.
My sister and her family stopped in for the night on their way to Perth for a wedding and Christmas.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We had a good Christmas, with dinner Christmas Eve at Winning and then a nice quiet day at home.  The kids love what they got from both us and Santa, I was also still in awe and our homemade tree and tip found decorations {now to workout which ones we are going to keep for keepsakes of our Christmas here}.

Boxing Dad Justin's brother, Aaron and his wife Ali came up for a few nights.  They brought with them warmer weather and a few passing showers {it also meant we got a few nights with amazing sunsets}.  We saw them off with a trip to Coral Bay, swimming and of course lunch at the pub.
 
 


*sigh* It does make me miss a house and also hope that in 2015 we work out ‘where to from here’

Happy 6th Birthday Kyla {Celebrating}

I can't believe that my baby girl is 6 today!

It seems almost impossible that that much time has passed by already, that the small, snugly baby has turned into such an independent, friendly, loving and helpful young girl.


After opening her presents, her requested breakfast of pancakes was prepared by her loving Dad.


Given we had cake & a party in Perth before we went to Lombok, Kyla scored a second get together with her Great Aunties and Great Grandparents.  Double celebration with a requested ice-cream cake {remind me not to make & pipe one of these again in a hurry)



Kyla continues to amaze me with all that she does, all that she has achieved and all that she is.

I look forward to seeing everything she can do in her next year and all of the smiles that she brings

Christmas

Our first traveling Christmas & it was wonderful.

We decided to stay in Manjiup with Jim & his family.  After a nice slow morning, all be it early we headed to Kojinup for lunch with everyone {there was lost of small people which my two loved}.























A quiet evening with an early night in bed & our first Christmas was over with.  Full of food, laughter and fun.... PERFECT!
