Does this hat make me look like Benny Hill?

Mates

Charlie and Grace watching Pooh's Heffalump movie. It's nice to share some interests with your sibling.

Uniform Boy

Charlie's first day of kindergarten....with a uniform.

Sometimes Charlie and Grace's sophisticated jokes are lost on Jane.

Strollin'

Even if you're just going for a stroll on the Podium it does not mean that you should relax your grooming standards.

Love Quilt

Alice and Marion show off the quilt that Victoria 1 branch Relief Society made for Jane. Our creative daughter is adding some colourful little spots of her own. Lovely.

Chillin'

Here's Gracie just relaxing with her beverage of choice (ie apple juice, diluted to the point that it's still recognisably apple juice but could also be confused with HK tap water).

Princess Party

Gracie recently attended her friend Natalie's 'Princess Party'. The guest entertainer was a middle-aged British expat woman, aka 'Princess Barbie'. She did magic tricks, put on a puppet show and made snide comments about Prince Ken. Gracie loved her and really enjoyed the party.

Nice Hat, Gracie!

Our friend John, from Sydney, came to visit in August.

Rich's 38th birthday party. Jane wasn't much help blowing out all those candles.

It's kind of tricky to get all three kids looking good and in focus at the same time.

percentile girl

Last week we found that Jane has shot up in to the top percentile of her age group for weight, height and head circumference! What a good girl! Here's a photo of that beautiful, big head.

Aunty Maira

We were delighted to have Maira visit for a day. Charlie, Grace and Jane think she's fantastic.

a fairy party!

Grace was invited to a fairy party to celebrate her friend Kitty-Kate's 2nd birthday. As this was her very first try at being a fairy she was initially somewhat cautious about the whole fluffy dress and sparkly wing thing. She soon noticed, though, that a wand can be a lot of fun.....
