Melbourne

I went to Melbourne in the weekend and met my sister Jo who was there for work. It was lovely. I also got to catch up with an old friend Fiona which was great as it was about three years since we last saw each other. It was cold in Melbourne but was still suitable to shopping.!!

Sydney!

We went for a drive a couple of weeks ago and found a beautiful playground under the Harbour bridge.

Camilla arrives!

We were excited to have Camilla and her family from Tawa Montessori visit a couple of weeks ago. They have moved to Mosman which is about 10 minutes from us. Noah was thrilled to have her visit and it is great to have a familiar face living so close. Small world!!

Clever Noah

The teachers at kindy are amazed at Noah and how he can follows instructions etc and how he thinks. They also like how he is nice and caring to the smaller children. Anyway here is a picture of Noah with the tractor he built following the instructions in the book. he was very proud of himself.

Easter Hat Parade

One of the traditions in Australia is for the children to make Easter hats at school. We were to provide an icecream container (a two litre one - not the little one I did) and then the children decorate at school. On the Friday before easter the parents (picnic baskets, mobile coffee van etc) go the the school and the children parade their hats. We were thrilled as Molly won in her class with her cool creation. Kaitlyn has a buddy in kindergarten (what they call new entrants) and she helped make his hat.

Our view

We are staggered night after night at the beautiful view we have - it changes all the time! What do you think?

Manly

Here are the kids on my birthday having an icecream down at Manly wharf. We ate pizza on the beach which was just beautiful.
