An eagle eyed mum found out that Thomas was going to be joining his mates up at Belgrave to haul some loads with Puffing Billy, so what better than to head up and spend a day with some magnificant pieces of machinery.

We gathered up the crew, and after a night before the day of the trains, loaded up the cars and head up into the hills.  All the kids loved seeing Thomas and his friends, and the trip on Puffing Billy (while too short) was a great time for them all.

Some of my favourite photos of Lachie were taken this day, with him just hanging out the side of the train watching the world whiz by.

With the notice that Lachie is going to be a big brother, we thought it was time that he upgraded his room and moved up into a big boy bed.

I’m posting this a couple of months late, so can report that he loves his bed, and really enjoys each night curling up in it with all the teddys while Mum or Dad read him some books.  The only problem now is that he wants “More” and “More” books..

The Purcells put on great weather for a day at the Zoo the celebrate Harrison’s Birthday.  Mum was unable to come with us as he had to work on Saturday, but the boys packed up the car and headed over to the Zoo.

Lachie is at a good age now to go exploring all the animals, but we sort of got caught up at the party so much that when it was time to head off to check out the sights and sounds of the zoo the little man was too tired to really enjoy it.  We did get in a lap of most of the big animals, but I’m not sure how much Lachie got to see.

As usual it was a great day, and all the kids had a ball.
