Swimming

Silly Dad got the times mixed up for our swimming lessons so we got there too late to swim. Anyway we were all dressed and ready so we thought we would take Lucy for her first swimming lesson. Lucy was a bit unsure at first but it didn't take before she was splashing and laughing. She was very relaxed lying on her back with her head on Dads shoulder.

They want Lucy to wear a yellow wrist band to let the lifeguards know she is younger the 5yrs, funny I thought that the fact she is a baby might have given it away.

Harry was very brave swimming and jumping into the deep end.

Holly was a little fish swimming to the bottom of pool and touching it.

I think Lucy used too much energy as she fell asleep in seconds!

Day 4

Today Mummy very kindly decided that Harry wouldn't go to kindly and spend the day with Dad, thanks Mum!

We packed some lunch headed to watch Holly at Gymnastics. We were a little early to we stopped at a nearby park for a picnic. Dad was very lucky as we are not normally allowed to have our parents watch but today was open day, so Dad, Harry and Lucy stayed to watch. What an awesome little gymnast.

After gymnastics and Lucy's sleep we had a walk and another play at the park. When we got we all made 'Pumpkin Soup - the best you ever tasted'!

Sunday Fun Day

Today we start Sunday Fun Day with some break bowl painting, can't wait to get them back next. After a little Lucy snooze we headed over to our cousins for some full on fun, sorry about the mess Uyenie! After some dinner it was time to head home and fall asleep in the car, dad love it when we fall asleep it makes bed time much quicker.

Happy Glaze Cafe

Today we thought we head down to Happy Glaze and paint some new breakfast bowls. Just waiting for the plain bowls to arrive.

BON VOYAGE!!!

Dear Holly, Harry, Lucy and of course my Darling Andrew,

Thank you so much for the most extravagant birthday present ever. I am going to miss you all so much.  I love you all more than you will ever know. Be good for Daddy kids (so he lets me go again one day!).  Thank you Andrew - This is just awesome.

GOOD LUCK AUNTY POL!!!

Happy Birthday Mama!

An early birthday celebration before Mama flies to the big apple for a girls week away!!

9 months old!

Our darling Lulu hit 9 months old yesterday. It's incredible how much can happen in a month! Luce is confidently sitting alone, both on the floor and in the bath. She is up on all 4's and rocking her way to the land of mobility! She is so close. She can take a few crawls backwards - she is under strict instruction NOT to crawl while I am away!!! She can move at lightening speed in her walker and easily maneuver it to where she wants to go.
Holly still loves to hold her and Harry whispers sweet nothing's at her when no one is watching.
She can clap now and on cue and is mighty proud if herself when she does it! She can wave and is saying Dada ( but not always on cue). She most defiantly knows who is who and if we say "where is holly" she will look at her and grin her big beautiful smile.
We love you Lucy you are a sweet little princess. Xx

Glow in the dark bath!

Inspired by Aunty Pol, we dropped into the $2 shop on the way home from school yesterday and stocked up on glow sticks by the dozen ... The out come: A 6pm rave in the bath!!! A huge hit with Holly and Harry!

Early morning walk

We miss you Dadda!!!

All three!

Go for gold!

Holly's artwork

Holly collected these shells at Queenscliff a couple of weeks ago. The other day she painted them all, arranged them on a canvas and glued them all down- then asked me to write queenscliff at the bottom! It looks great and is now hanging in the kitchen - where any masterpiece should hang!

Loving bath time!

Harry's brain freeze prevention!

Out for dinner and Harry thought this was the best way to eat ice cream.

Sound asleep

After a late night with friends over for dinner, these two snuggled up together in our bed and fell asleep like this!

Around the house

Out of the mouths of babes

We were driving yesterday and Harry came out with something that sounded quite impressive for his age. I said to him "Harry how did you know that?"
What he came out with next made me laugh; "because I'm very clever" then he paused and added "actually because I'm very smart! I'm the incredible book eating boy - I ate 150,000 books, that's why I'm so smart!"
I had a good laugh to myself, he often often comes out with complex sentences and words. I love that he referenced one of his favourite books- it was way too cute!

Lucy sitting

Lucy is sitting now by herself, and getting much better by the day

Lucy: definitely Daddy's girl!

Can you see the uncanny family resemblance?
It's funny, I thought that photo was Andrew and Liz, but found out a few days later from Gabe it is actually Katie and Liz! It's funny because We have said for a while now that Lulu looks more like Katie's baby than mine! Andrew and Katie look a lot alike I think, so I guess it makes sense that she looks a lot like Katie.
