Laura Starts School!

Wow! We can’t believe it…. our tiny little bubba is now a little lady and has started school!!!

No tears, no tantrums…. just sheer excitement and a ‘little bit of scariness’ as she puts it!!!

Despite the late night out at Australia Day celebrations (sorry, we couldn’t leave without seeing the fireworks!!!), Laura was up and dressed by 730, she’d had her breakfast and mandatory first day photos and was ready to go!!! Katie was a different matter of course, she would much prefer to stay home with Mummy or even go to school with Laura rather than go to daycare at the moment, but we got her settled back in at daycare so we could spend the morning with Laura.

Jason and I walked her to school and spent a little while getting her books, lunch, drink bottle and other supplies in place and then watched as she met new friends and settled into the home corner. In no time, she had set the table and prepared a feast fit for a king!!!

When it came time for us to go, Laura gave us both a quick cuddle and kiss on the cheek and then merrily kept playing with her new found friends!!!

At her first school assembly, she was lucky enough to be given a special merit award for her creative thinking and collage!!! She was quite chuffed!

It’s week 3 now and she’s still keen… she gets dressed, packs her own lunch box and is ready to go. Let’s hope it stays that way for the next 12 years!!!

Cheers from some very prud parents,
Jason and Chrissy

Here’s a little piccie from her first day….

Guess Who’s 3?

Birthday time again…. little Katie’s now 3!!!

We had a great day on her birthday – she shared cupcakes with friends at daycare, then we went swimming and had a family dinner at home! Katie was spoilt with lots of new clothes, books, princess things, fairy dressups, craft/activity things and a new suitcase for our up and coming traveller!!!

She’s very proud to tell us all that she’s now ‘THREE!’, not two anymore and definitely gives her big sister a run for her money in the conversation stakes now!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!!

Present time - I love to rip the paper!!!

Christmas Holidays 2009

Time flies when you’re having fun!!! We were all lucky enough to enjoy a couple of weeks off at Christmas this year, which gave us plenty of time for parties, bike riding, swimming, playing at the park, playing with Roxy, playing the Wii (especially bowling and tennis), as well as a bit of camping and just generally taking it easy! It was great! Here are some piccies for you to enjoy…

Hope you all had a good one too!

Cheers,
Chrissy, Jason, Laura and Katie
