Summer is now well and truely upon us - and even though I am half queenslander - we Freemans much prefer to stay with in the confined walls of air conditioning. Today hit around 38 degrees - so we pulled out the craft box and made some birthday cards. If your birthday is coming up, look out for one of our "beetle" cards - made from my very own thumb prints!!!!

The finished product!

Where is the time going? Although he can't pull himself to this position, he loves to stand at the couch, and today, by the bath!
and Harry Pie loves sitting in the bath - Holly thinks its pretty fun too!

When I heard Harry wake up from his morning nap today, Mamma was in the shower, so I went in and looked after him! This is how Mamma found us 5 minutes later xx Very cute!

Then I thought it was just fun to stay in the cot!

Its the little pocket rocket up on all 4's! Getting ready to take off!
We have had an eventful couple of days. Yesterday we all headed into the city with Ame and Aunty Uyen and danced and sang for an hour with Hi5, it was so cool to see them in person. Today Mamma took Harry and I back to the Arts centre to the State Theatre to see the English Ballet perform Angelina Ballerina. It was just beautiful - As I told Mamma afterwards "there were no words just dancing" and after a rocky start (we were a bit close to the stage for my liking) I was mezmerized by the entire show. A definate must-see for next year - And it has also rekindled Mammas love for the arts - I think she is booking to go to the Ballet!

Harry is getting better each day at sitting, I am now trying to teach him to crawl! He is up on all 4's rocking, so it might not be too far away!

We caught the boat back from Queenscliff to Sorrento on the weekend ... it was very windy up top!

and found! Bella is home safe and sound. After 2 nights astray, she showed up at a local vet. She was found by a lovely family (one street away from our old house) who took her to their local vet. We are so happy to have her back, we were lost with out her!

LOST

Our darling Bella went missing on New Years Eve. We think she was spooked by the storm and fireworks and dug a hole in the back fence. We spent the best part of yesterday creating, laminating and putting flyers up all over wantirna. We have door knocked, letter box dropped and called countless animal agencies.

If you know anyone in the our area (eastern suburbs) could you please text them the following details for us - we are all lost without our 5th Freeman

King Charles Cavalier - Female - Desexed - 8 years old - Tan and white, lost NYE from Wantirna - Bella

Happy New Year!

We wish all our Family and Friends a truely wonderful and peaceful 2010.

We said goodbye to 2009, and saw the beginning of 2010 (just), and we are all very excited about what this year will hold for "Our Family Freeman".

See you all soon xx

We have just returned from a very sunny Christmas holiday. Luckily Santa found us on the Gold Coast, we did send him a letter to tell him and Nanny also put in a phone call. Harry and I were spoilt rotton, we played with all our cousins and even went to circus school for Poppys 7th bday!

Happy New Year to all our loving family and friends - we cant wait to see what 2010 brings, we hope its as good to you as 2009 was to us xx
