Trying for a sibling photo ...

 Finding these three, still, in the same place, is pretty rare! I raced for the camera, but this is as good as it got! 



Holly's favourite thing to do is to carry her baby sister around. It must make her feel so grown up, she does a great job at it and is just beautiful with Luce.

A day at the Zoo

 We spent a nice long day at the zoo a couple of weeks ago. It was a good day, however we went on a Sunday during school holidays so it was jam packed with people. The kids had a ball - the Lions were a big hit!


Harry and Lulu

 Harry doesn't ask that often to hold Lucy, he is much happier just lying next to her and talking and showing her things. Last week he asked if he could read her a book, so they sat together while he read to her ... it was very cute!

Lucy loves her feet!

BIG blocks!

 Harry and I had a morning to ourselves the other day, Holly spent the day at Ivreas house. We spent hours building all sorts of big things with these blocks! Aren't they awesome?


A sunny, but very cold Sunday

 Sunday at Kew boathouse. A family picnic in the park. Despite the sun it was absolutely freezing!
 Happy birthday Piper!! (and of course Indie!!)
 Lots of Aunty lovin!
Lulu is definitely spoilt at family functions now - she is the only baby!

Cousins sleepover!

 Are these not the luckiest kids in the world! Growing up closely with all these cousins! On Tuesday night we had Chilli, Mia and Amelie come and stay for the night. The all had so much fun, they were awesome, so well behaved and played beautifully together.  Here is a quick overview (in reverse!) of the 24 hours.

Gorgeous masks they made 


 An hour of craft to keep them busy in the morning

 A rock show performance on the deck ... worthy of a Grammy!

 Mia - besotted with her littlest cousin
 The fairies visited over night and left a trail of fairy dust and letter and magic stars for each of them.
In hindsight it was not the brightest idea! When one of them (not mentioning names!) woke up at the crack of dawn, he screamed the house down and made everyone get up and see what the fairies had left!  
 Watching a movie before bed
 compliments to the chef!  Peer pressure is a wonderful thing!
Dinner for 6?

Belated birthday visit from Auntee Nickee




School Holiday - wet weather indoor play!





Lulu




Nanny and Pa visit

Nanny and Pa flew down just for Harry's party ... How lucky is he! Thanks Nanny and Pa!
(even with Pa's bung shoulder 2 weeks after his shoulder reconstruction!)

Harry's 3rd Birthday party


 Harry's party this year was kept pretty simple.  We had a little party at home, he was pretty excited though to invite 5 or 6 of his kindy friends.  It was very cute to see them all playing together outside of kindy.  We had a big jumping castle on the deck and a pinyata, and of course the cake ... a farm cake, as chosen by Harry.




 Aunty Katies possible 4th daughter!



Falling asleep at the dinner table


And she woke up 20 mins later like nothing had happened and kept chewing on the rusk!
