Packing it all in before packing it all up

It was Thomas' 14th birthday on Friday. A time to sample another one of the bottles of 1993 Hardy's Shiraz laid down by Jurgen when T. was born and a chance to share T's favourite german sausages and orange cake and all the news of school and plans to learn guitar in the coming year.


We were delighted to have a visit from the P.....s on Saturday. Big O and little A went through all the usual activities. They both love anything to do with transport and Rob's vintage Matchbox car collection continues to be a big attraction, although O will stop everything to have a favourite story read to him. He loves my expanding "Stinky Face" collection.



Little A is growing into a real little person in his own right. Claire reckons he has inherited his determined streak from his dad's side of the family. He is talking a lot but it is still difficult to pick up distinct words.



Ella was in a very vocal mood when we visited Sunday morning- not afraid to express her feelings about what was going on. It was a very warm day so she needed a hat when we sat outside briefly to watch Nellie recover from the long walk we made her endure.





It was thrill for me to see Ella sitting up by herself but J&J reckon she's been able to do that for over a week. Her top front tooth has just started to break through too. This might be why she is so interested in her dummy and her orange teething ring.
