Amy said “Mum”. All day yesterday she perfected her “mmmmm” mouth and this morning she said “Mum” for the first time. Yay. She was 9 months old on Saturday, and getting cheekier by the day. Still not sleeping through the night though – ho hum.
Jess had her second swimming lesson on the weekend. She is such a character. She got in very confidently then had to go up and down the lane walking with the kick board out in front. As she passed the other kids she’d say “Hello” and wave, and she’d chat the whole time. Perfectly comfortable in her little world of Jessie Land.
On Sunday we decided to get out of town for awhile so drove to the Cotter and then out to the Tidbinbilla tracking station. Those satellite dishes always amaze me and Holly was thrilled that they can listen to whispers from Space. I once made a list of 30 things I wanted to do and going to a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral was right up there (just before seeing a live Oprah Show). Tidbinbilla is about as close as I’m going to get to that most probably!
Justin is taking the whole school holidays off work and I am throwing the laptop in the cupboard for the duration. We are going to Sydney for about 5 days, taking in the Zoo, a ferry ride, seeing friends and Zoe’s first birthday party. Can’t wait.
Does anyone else have a Black hole in their house? So far we have lost Holly’s school readers, numerous socks, my sanity and now Holly’s homework book. I just don’t understand how books, that are always in the same spot, can suddenly disappear. I made Holly write the note to her teacher to explain the missing book. I wonder what she’ll say about it!
I took Holly and Meg to see Shrek the Third because Holly got a great school report. This is a quote from the Teacher… “Holly is a kind, caring and generous member of our class. She has achieved results of a high standard across all curriculum areas. She is an outstanding artist and has an ability way beyond that of her peers. She applies herself with dedication and enthusiasm to all classroom tasks and her bookwork is immaculately presented. I am very proud of all she has achieved and look forward to the continuation of such wonderful progress. Well done Holly!” Yes Well done Holly, I’m very proud of you too 🙂
Ok things to do and work to be done. Have a great day.
Well done Holly for such a good report. I can only dream of such kind words being said of Hamish in his report coming up in 2 weeks!
How wonderful Holly – well done How all those girls are growing up, and to think I starting seeing Matt at the time of Holly’s christening – how time flys.
Congratulations to Holly on such a brilliant report! It brought tears to my eyes – what a star she is!
Hoping we might be able to see you all when you come up to Sydney in the school holidays – would love to catch up.
love to all. xxoo
