It took nearly two weeks but we finally manged to get a photo of the two boys - Harrison will never make it as a model, because when you tell him to smile this is what you get! LOL
Here I am with my boys - just missing Graham for a family shot, but I figure we will get one eventually!!!!
Harrison, Pop, Nan and big cousin Aynsliee 
Great Grandma comes for a visit
Grand dad and Nana Karen give cuddles as well.
Auntie Rachel, Uncle Michael, Courtney and Kayla
Auntie Sharon, Uncle Tony, Sarah and Amy also visit......
I am sorry to my other friends and family that have visited and not had their photo added, I have not always been quick enough to get the camera out for photos. However, every ones best wishes have been very happily received.......
Labour wise it seemed to be a lot easier 2nd time round. I was given a hormone on the Sunday night, with the expectation that nothing would happen until the next day.
Of course I would have a baby that does the unexpected, because I officially started my labour and contractions at 2:30am. After receiving some much needed pain relief (Pethidine and Epidural) I went through most of the night fairly comfortable, but no sleep. At 8:30am my doctor advised that I was 4cm dilated and would probably not have the baby until after lunch. Again the unexpected, when just about 40 minutes later, the baby moved into position and as mentioned by 10:11am little Mitchell Ashley was born.
Here are a few pictures of Mitchell taken within the hour of his birth
A very proud mum and dad - definately not a glamour shot, but the first one we have.....
Next, sorry if you are squeamish but this is Graham getting to cut the cord for the second time, this is the closer cut to the belly button clamp.
At 53cm long, I guess we have another tall baby on our hands.
3.95kg or if you prefer the old system 8lb 11oz
At least dad could pose for some decent photos - I was not up for it!
These are just a couple of photos of Mitchell I thought I would share of my boys first moments after birth. I will post shortly some photos taken when he has been cleaned up and looking even more spunky!
We possibly made the big mistake of allowing Santa's present to be opened first, because hidden in Santa's loot was not only 'Henry' but 'Molly', 'Skarloey' and 'James'. That is four trains to add to his Thomas the Tank collection!
Not even the lure of a trampoline, a bike, cars, trucks or books could get him away from his new train collection. The below photo was taken when Harry gave his new trampoline about 2 minutes attention. Mind you, a few days after Christmas and we can now not get him off the Trampoline!!!!
A family shot - don't know why my mum felt she needed to give me extra room in the photo though....... must have felt my 'wide load' needed the extra attention!!!! ;-)
This is a great shot of two very adorable cousins........
This is a great shot of Nan with her "boys" - don't worry mum, ill get a copy of this one for you - finally a photo where you all have a lovely smile!
I had to include the snow man - seriously, can this thing look any more creepy? The only think more scary was the 'Jack In A Box' that looked more like the clown out of Stephen Kings book "IT".
Next we had the social club Christmas party from my work, and since it was held at the Aquatic Centre, I think Santa got a soggy knee from wet children by the end of the day!!!
This photo was luckily taken about 20 minutes before Harrison fell over his new toy, and put his top teeth through his bottom lip - blood everywhere sent us into a panic, but after it all settled, and he was given an ice block, he was a little happier. An afternoon nap in the car on the way home seemed to make it all better!!!!
OK, now this is the official Christmas photo taken with Santa at Myer, we had a lovely Santa, who was a little surprised that Harrison wanted nothing more than a 'Henry Train' for Christmas - I guess a store Santa is used to big demands from lots of children!
The day before this photo was taken, Graham thought it would be good to try out the new hair clippers we got given (Thank you Leanne and Barry!!). Well now my lovely little boy looks like he has as much hair as he did the day he was born - bald bald bald!!!!! Oh well a buzz cut looks kind of cute, ill get used to it, and it will grow back soon!!
Mind you I look back on this blog from the photos from last year, and at least he is not crying through the photos. He looks so big now, these were taken in October, so at age 3 years 3 months, he really is growing into quite a little boy now.
Harrison is doing so much more this year, his speech has picked up to the point of full conversations (and attitude to go with it), he is playing more and being more adventurous. He really is a completely different child to the toddler I had 12 months ago!
I know I keep saying it, but where does the time go!
She won it in the category of 'Young Aussie Award' and she basically was a victim of bullying at school, and instead of staying a victim, she started an online blog to help other children facing the same issues to speak out.
CONGRATULATIONS SARAH - WELL DONE XOX
Bryan and his brother Jason waited patiently for the bride to arrive, and unlike any bride I know she actually arrived on time, in fact was a little early, and had some time for more photos before walking down the isle
The bridal dance to the song 'Chasing Cars' by 'Snow Patrol
And a special visitor to the reception giving obvious approval
