Gayna

Our friend Gayna brightened our day by dropping over on her moped and bringing a box full of fabulous shiny and swishy dress ups. Thank you, Gayna!

Sunday afternoon

This is a typical Sunday afternoon. While Rich and I steal a nap the girls find bits and pieces from around the house and create a cubby house or some other major project. Here we see the cubby house in the background with a drum kit in the foreground, created from table and stool, Ted's bowl and a box which should be full of musical instruments. No prizes for guessing where the musical instruments were stored while their box was co-opted.

Adam

Adam continues to thrive. Hard to believe he'll be 1 in a couple of weeks! He is great at getting up stairs and onto the couch now, and eats everything - gobbles up his peas and corn. He is practicing his walking holding onto someone's hands, and loves it, even though it looks like his legs are made of spaghetti.

Mum, I touched an All Black!

The day after cross country, the Westpac helicopter flew into school and landed on the oval, bring it with it Jerome Kaino, an All Black. After a great presentation about the job that the rescuers do, Jerome handed out the certificates for cross country. Jane was thrilled to shake his hand, though she had never even heard of him before! And yes, I need a better camera!

Cross Country Competition

It was a beautiful sunny day. Josephine had a wonderful time, smiling and waving for the whole length of the oval while all other runners passed her by. Jane, on the other hand, knew that her best friend Logan would come first and was determined to come second.She was so proud and pleased when she made it! Grace had a great run too, even though she was not feeling 100%. When I hugged her after her race I could feel her heart pounding against my hip.
