We've hit the home stretch!
(Pertaining to both the new dairy, as well as our adventure into parenthood...)
Building works are pretty much completed at the new dairy, and everyone is now getting stuck into getting all of the "guts" into the empty shell, and getting all of those little odds and bods all finished up. It's so close we can almost taste it!!
Thanks to Aunty Ros digging around in the archives, here is a picture of my Dad in 1969 with the daily milk shipment, waiting for the horse cart. The shed he is standing next to is the same one that is still standing in the photographs below showing the position of the new dairy in relation to the old one.

| Even boyfriends are being put to work! |
 |
| The new milking machine arrives! |
Whilst all of this has been going on, we are also into the final weeks of the big wait....the pip will be with us in less than 5 weeks time! Dale and I were spoiled rotten with a gorgeous baby shower, and we are super excited to meet this new little member of the Thomas family. Its all quite overwhelming, to say the least, but we're ready and anticipating the big arrival with bated breath!

| All the girls together at the baby shower - AWESOME Dr Seuss theme! |
 |
| The boss putting his latest "toy" together...beer was needed! |
Will chat to you all again soon, busy weeks ahead! Farm visits, Annual dairy conference, moving across into the new dairy, childbirth....piece of cake!
