2-9 Oct, 2025 Jon & Annalise’s place, Cairns, Qld

Beau was up again at 4am. Jon kept him out till 6.30 then he came in a woke up Grannie - gorgeous. Beau loves my camera.

Beau went to Daycare - he goes Mon to Thurs and loves the stimulation. Such a busy, smart boy but too full of beans sometimes and tries the boundaries!

Quiet morning with Annalise and Cooper - feeding well. He is more olive skinned than Beau - my side of the family.

The plasterer from down the road came to do the work they had arranged before they had a baby come early. Gave us an excuse to clean afterwards! Beau was being helpful too.

Jon working on his sliding gate so they are secure before he heads back to work in 5 weeks. They need it too as Beau loves to go down to the neighbours places but he doesn’t have the ‘danger’ awareness yet of the road. Beau is a helpful apprentice.

Fun days playing with Beau and cuddling Cooper. Uncle Dan, Aunty Fran and cousin Sophia came over for a visit to meet the new cousin. 

Cheers for AFL Grand Final time.

Helping Dad in the shed, mowing the lawn and water play.

Public holiday on Monday so Beau stayed home. Cooper sleeps in funny positions - it’s not me. Beau hopped in the chair and wanted to hold Cooper. He was so gentle and still.

The family of 4. No more grandkids now. I am very happy to have my beautiful 2 boys and gorgeous girl.

Kaylene called in for a cuddle.

Steve rang from Kalgoorlie. On Sunday they had 60ml of rain so the dry lake is now very wet. Luckily they got out in time. Friday it was very strong winds so dust everywhere and so bad that had to stop the ‘racing’. Mal had a few runs and was happy with his time. It was great to see all the different cars and bikes. Steve will be cleaning the dust out of the camper for a while!

I got this off the FB posts. Wet Lake Perkolilli.

Spent the rest of the week cuddling Cooper and playing with Beau.
