Ella's First Birthday - 1 Aug 2008

I thought I should update our Blog, it's been a little while. Here are some photos from Ella's First birthday! This is her birthday cake made by Lisa McFarlane. Here's some photos taken at Kidzmania, the cool kids playground where we had her birthday.

Our Trip to Sydney

We spent last weekend in Sydney as we are in our mid-year break from college. We had a great time catching up with friends and family. While we were there we went to the Hillsong Conference's Opening night before returning to Melbourne the next morning. Here's Ella after a 9 hour drive....

Rob's Visit

Di's cousin from Tasmania, Robert (Rob) Parsell, made a short visit with us following Nanna. It was a nice time to catch up as we don't get to see Di's Tasmanian family much.

Nanna's Visit to Melbourne

Nanna Hobbs made a weekend visit to see us here in Melbourne and we all had a really great time. Here's Nanna taking an opportunity to give Ella a bath. Ella loves being dunked with big buckets of water... here's a photo of it.

Winter Sunrise

This is a photo of a recent sunrise we took... we get awesome views from our room at the Training College here in Melbourne.

Ella's First Haircut - 9th June 2008

Today Ella got her first hair cut. Aunty's Robyn and Cheryl were on hand to make sure their niece was given the best possible haircare.

Mothers Day 2008

Here's the Hobbs family on Diane's first Mothers Day. The video clip is from the Mothers Day meeting at the Wyndham City Corps, where Ella went and got her mum her first Mother's Day flower. Di had a great day and was spoilt.
