Not the rocket cake
Not as visually impressive as the still-in-planning rocket cake - however, this birthday cake was delicious and did not last long.
Fuzz Lightyear?
"That's not yesterday's breakfast on my sleeve - it's a laser".
Thankfully this Buzz Lightyear costume was made locally so the quality is second to none. So we only need to wash it once a month.
Shooters Restaurant - The Peak
After our trip to the hospital we had a hearty meal of tomato sauce and sprite at Shooters. A model train choofs around a track a few feet above the patrons. Made some of us feel like trolls. To the right of Gracie is a lovely view of the Hong Kong Island and harbour. You'll have to just imagine it, though, as Jane had her own meal in mind by this stage and we didn't have time to take any more pictures.
The clinic
We all went to the Baby Clinic at the Matilda for Jane's check-up. She is doing very well.

Baby Blessing
On Sunday, July 3 (Charlie's 5th birthday), Jane was blessed at the LDS Chapel in Wan Chai.
Hello James!
We are not sure whether to correct Gracie when she calls Jane 'James'.....or just let her work it out herself over the next 20 years or so.....
Does Jane need a new nappy?
No, it's Uncle Robert's durian chocolate treats repeating on Laura.
Bert flew in for the weekend to meet Jane and spend time with the family.
It's a Jane!
Jane was born on June 28, 2005. She weighed in at eight pounds five and at full stretch was 52.5 cm long. We adore her and welcome her into our little family.
The Sun setting on our two-child family
Life had been sweet for Charlie and Gracie. The big brother and the darling little sister. All that had changed. Charlie was now a big brother with two little sisters to help look after, and Grace was a 'big girl' and the 'middle child'. Are they ready for the challenge? Probably not - who is? But they are doing fine. This was taken outside the Matilda Hospital in Hong Kong, a day after Jane was born.
Who are the Bamboo Grovers?
The Bamboo Grovers are an Aussie family living in Hong Kong. Their blog name is taken from the name of their Hong Kong high-rise home - and has nothing to do with a failed Muppet movie project about Grover in search of his oriental roots. Certain Bamboo Grovers enjoy lasagne, Peter Combe songs, milk, golf and reading. Can you match the hobby or interest to the correct family member?
