Zeke @ A Backyard Makeover

We have a guy in our church, Ricki, who is great at photography.

Last Saturday our church did a makeover of a community house here in Bendigo that's situated in a very low socioeconomic area. We went there and painted everything, ripped out an old sandpit and relocated it and put new sand in it. Put new soft fall chips down in he playground, weeded, planted new trees etc. It was a great day and Ezekiel was a good helper and enjoyed playing on the playground.

Here's a few photos from the day. The first one is of Zeke at church one weekend.

Playing

The weekend is just about here.

We havent got a lot planned this weekend. We've been out and about in the garden ripping out plants and trimming back hedges. We're getting ready to plant some new plants at the front of our house that are drought resistant and can cope with little water.

The mornings are quite cold here but the days are beautiful. Zeke & I love getting outside to play and walk all over the place.

We're stuck home half the week cause Jeremy takes the car to work but we manage to keep ourselves occupied. Ezekiel LOVES drawing so much. He sat down the other day for almost a whole hour and did nothing but color in his coloring book of Thomas the Tank engine. That kid is obsessed with Thomas.

I'm just about to buy him a potty to start potty training him. Everytime we take his nappy off at night before a bath, he insists and HAS to do a nudie run all over the house and usually pees somewhere so I want to get him sitting on the potty!

A few weeks ago we turned the spare room into a playroom for him, which got rid of so many toys from the lounge room which was nice. He spends a lot of time in there playing with all sorts of toys that mostly his Nan-Nan buys him!

I went to look at beds the other day to see how much we'd be looking at spending. We hope to have one in his room by his 2nd birthday and start getting him to sleep in a big bed.

Here's a photo of Zeke playing in his play room today.

Alive...

Despite misplacing our camera when we got back from Canada, finding it again, taking a few pictures, trying to upload them to this website & the website continually freezing and not uploading the photos...we are all well!

Ezekiel's growing at a rapid rate and is as funny as ever! He says many words now along with letters and numbers, he really is quite clever. He's becoming more and more fearless everyday trying to jump off things all the time. He's getting a little naughty at times and is extremely painful at night at the moment! He has about 6 teeth on the way through so he hasnt been all that happy lately.

He's going through an obsession with shoes at the moment. He has to put them on and walk around the house in them. So there's a photo below!

We'll continue to keep this blog cause this has the very beginning of zeke's life & lots of videos and photos on it...if we dont up date it regularly enough for you then sign up on facebook.com for free, search for Meg Louise, cause it's way faster & easier for me to post photos there!

Later!
