Welcome to the O'Neill Family Blog

After much ado and trying to work out ways to keep my friends and family up to date with the O'Neill News, I thought it time that I set up a Blog Spot. I hope you enjoy reading the latest news and seeing the latest photos of our two beautiful girls, Jessica and Mikayla.

Our Karatha Visitors

We had a great pre Christmas Dinner with Mark and Jacinta and Jakki last Friday night. We hadn't seen Mark and Cint in 7 months as they live in Karatha now. We miss them heaps and enjoyed catching up with them for the short time they visited us.

Pop Goes the Wiggles

Well, after many months of counting down, Monday 17 December finally is here and we went to the Wiggles Concert with Nana Dee. Despite Mikayla being a bit restless and Jessica unusually quiet, fun was had by all. What a show!!! I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, Mum and I or the girls!!!


Mikayla - 7 months old

I just realised that I didn't update the Blog with Mikayla's 6 month photo but coincidentally I was taking photos of Mikayla today in the dress she's wearing to Julie's wedding when I realised that she's now 7 months. So here she is at 7 months in the dress that she'll probably be wearing to Aunty JuJu's wedding. Big Sister is behind making sure that the dress sits properly!!!

Bedtime Playtime

Just before bed every night, we have quiet time in the lounge room. Tonight was just too cute!!!



Feeding Time at the Zoo

Look what happens when I turn away for a second ......


Playing with the Pickerings

Kate and I realised yesterday just how hard it is to get kids to pose for photos. Here are our results!!!


The O'Neill Girls and Santa


This morning we were at Garden City with Mum and just happened to walk past the Santa at David Jones. Well, there was no holding Jessica back from Santa this year. Sadly, last year we didnt get a Santa photo as she screamed when she saw him. Jessica has asked Santa for a pink raincoat for her, a bike for Mikki, a boat for Daddy and 1 million dollars for Mummy. We were delighted that the photo turned out so well - it's just a shame that Daddy wasn't there.

Family Day Care Christmas Party

Oh the Fun and Frivolity of a Children's Christmas Party in a small hall!!!! Jessica had a ball and Mikayla was quite happy to hook into Nana's ice-cream - that's my girl!!!!

The Cook



Jessica had a great time in the kitchen yesterday dressing up as a Chef. She's a willing learner and Daddy is such a great cook that she's going to have to get her tips from him.

Jessica went along for her first Flower Girl Dress Fitting today and she looked so cute. She really played the part as Flower Girl and got into the wedding spirit.
