Baby feet and daddy sleep

Baby feet are entirely cute, so you have to have at least one photo of them

Last school day

Today was Grace’s last day of pre-primary school, and she will be moving on to the junior school next year.

We started off like this (3 years ago):

And ended like this:

It was also Penny’s last day (who has been a wonderful directress for our children)

Vaccinations

Today was vaccination day for Adam – it’s tough but someone has to do it. Shame, poor little guy, he was taking some strain as all those diseases started to kick in

Eli’s swimming has been making leaps and bounds forward, and he is now able to swim independently

“Watch me go down the big slide dad!” It doesn’t feel like that long ago that she wouldn’t even put a foot into a slide like this

Gingerbread village

We continued our annual tradition of friends and gingerbread house building today and had a great time together.

I love this bunch of brilliant kids, and how they get along so well

Aunty Mel comes all the way from England for this (and for things like her brother’s wedding, but I’m sure it is really just to hang out with us all). So lovely to have her around again

Big sister Grace

Grace has suddenly taken the role of big sister very seriously – she has realised that she can pick Adam up, hold him and comfort him with his dummy, so she has taken it upon herself to be the great big sister and to care for her brother.

“I’ll get him!”
