Christmas - Good Food, Good Company, Good Times....

Another Christmas has come and gone and a quick and fun trip to SA was squeezed in to spend our first Christmas in SA since moving to Melbourne.
Then we returned home to do it all again.
Fun, Food & way too many presents.

Christmas Time

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine,
Children singing christian rhyme,
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree,
A time for rejoicing in all that we see,
A time for living, a time for believing,
A time for trusting, not deceiving,
Love and laughter and joy ever after,
Ours for the taking, just follow the master.

Sebastian's Favourite TV Ad.

TV ruins the brain, gives you square eyes and all the rest of it. But we turned out alright with plenty of TV in our childhood.

Sebastian's First Birthday

Just a quick link to the photo gallery from Sebasitan's first Birthday.

Sebastian Crawling Video

Time for another installment of Seb Tv.

Today we bring you a video of Sebastian cruising around the house, showing of his crawling abilities, before long we will see some walking no doubt.

Sebastian & Oliver playing with Ferrari

The boys caught up for a play with Oliver's pretty fancy Ferrari, Seb rocked up in full attire and they were off and racing!

It's Flooding! VIDEOS

And some videos from Yarra Glen & Healesville from Sundays rain/flooding.


The Yarra Glen Racecourse.



Healesville Farm, small creek not so small!



The detour still presented some water over the road, but nothing the Astra couldn't handle.

It's Raining, It's Pouring, It's Flooding!

A Sunday drive up through the hills and in to Yarra Glen presented us with this lovely sight, unfortunately for race goers there will be no action at this track come Melbourne Cup day (Tuesday).



That is by no means a small fence for the Yarra Glen racecourse that the water is hiding!



And the road through to Healesville shut off due to flooding



On the last day of October Victoria experienced some 55mm in the city, whilst the Yarra Valley got around 80mm in less than 24hours causing streams, creeks and dams to burst their banks and spill out.
This rainfall was around half of the rainfall Victoria received for the month.

After taking a few detours we made it through.

Here is a picture taken last week of the creek, next to a photo from yesterday.




And a shot of the Healesville Racecourse, not quite as submerged as Yarra Glen, but impressive nonetheless

Picturesque day at Healesville - Photos

And now some photos from the walk around the farm on a gorgeous day.



From the house headed down past the dam and to the creek with Deb, Sebastian, Lily and the two boys.
From here me and Amare headed off over the creek and up the hill, we followed the ridge line all the way to the back corner.



We saw at least 20 kangaroos hopping about through the bush which didn't faze Amare one bit, as we got closer to the back corner Amare had some fun chasing around a few rabbits, before deciding it was time to walk up and down the creek getting nice and wet.





A quick stop at the top of one tree hill to take in the view before heading back up to the house.

Healesville - A walk around the property

Picturesque day at Healesville

A perfect day in Melbourne we headed up to Healesville to enjoy.

Here are a few videos from around the farm.

Here is my first attempt at embedding a Google Map, hopefully if this works you will be able to click on my placemarks and than it should take you to a nice little 360 degree video clip from each location.

(Just for good measure here are the direct clips from YouTube)

The first was from a nice stroll up the hill, just opposite TarraWarra.



After walking the ridge line towards the back corner, came down across the creek and took this video.



And lastly the view from above 'one tree hill'

More Seb TV

A couple more quick videos of Sebastian on the move.

Seb TV

Seb TV returns with some videos of Sebastian crawling around on the bed and just having a fun time, flashing a cheeky smile at the camera every now and than.



No doubt before long he will be walking, but at the moment he is getting around just fine (and very quickly) by crawling just like his four legged friends Amare and Farley.
