Wednesday was Eli’s birthday circle, and time to go walking around the sun again

Showing his life photos to the class

Getting the muffins ready to be consumed by the children

Grace made us supper – coconut crumbed chicken with sweet potato chips….yummy. The idea is for her to cook a meal for the family once a week which she is excited about.

It has been ballet show time, and tonight was the final performance. Grace has absolutely loved the shows and comes back floating on cloud 9 – a bundle of excitement and happiness.

The show is called “The snow globe” and Grace’s class are all Maypole Flower Sellers (thanks Ursula for the photo!). She has really been enjoying her ballet this year and is interested in going to class twice a week now. The shows are really a highlight for her.

Make up and lots of hair gel (well done to Donné for eeking a tiny bun out of her short hair)

It took some convincing, but I finally got a decent smile out of Eli.

Just cruising around

The clivias are blooming

And the blueberries are forming (hopefully we’ll get some decent yield this year – assuming Adam let’s them grow)

We celebrated or public holiday with some good time with friends and the yummy chocolate pie that Donné made.

Thank you to Pete and Heather for hosting us all!
