My Miss Molly is growing up

I cannot believe how quickly my children are growing. As we got ready to go out tonight I took photos of Miss Molly. She just is not a baby anymore. Tonight over dinner she was stubborn, but manners in between. She was calm, and for the most part well behaved.

I cried today with the thought that Jack was 5, I thought I would not do that with Molly, but today proved that in 16 months time I may not be that strong.

I love my kids, and today I am one proud mum!!!

Thank you so much for my lovely shoes. They have been on all day, until bed. A perfect fit with room to grow over summer. Thanks Grandpa and Didi

What a poser

Don't be fooled by that innocent look

Now that's more like it

Molly and her box

Thanks Aunty Mimi, Uncle Clyde and Sofia for sending Jack's present in such a fine box. It has become my favourite toy, and my babies love playing in it too

I even watch TV in my box!!

What a wonderful day

Jack got to feed the eels

If you look closely Jack's tongue was hanging out just as much as the eel.

He was not bothered by them being so close.

Thank you so much Grandpa and Didi for the lovely blanket, and the cars game for my leapster. I am snuggled up safe and warm and my game is right beside my bed for safe keeping.

Sam held through, but Friday night after 5 days at schoo,l it was pretty hard.

Molly and Jack LOVE ice cream.

Molly loves the camera, and smiles when she wants to.

Dinner was a little late, but thank goodness mum made us have an afternoon sleep. All of us were so well behaved, even though we did not get home until after 10. The hat was still going strong.

We had great fun today visiting the aquarium in Mapua. We then went for lunch at Jester House.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK

"Good morning mum. I't my birthday. I'm 5! "
Wow. 5 years ago a little man entered our life. He went through quite a bit to get here, but he arrived safe and sound.
Jack from the beginning has been a placid boy. Our 5 years so far have been filled with fun and laughter.
I woke up this morning with my big boy in my bed, and as usual was greeted with a lovely smile and such excitement.
Jack is a wonderful young man, who is placid, kind, loving, and very clever.
Jack (or Jacko, because he has learnt to spell his name and wants an o in it), starts school on Monday. As usual there is no fuss, he just takes everything in his stride.
Thank you Grandma Elaine for your lovely phone call this morning, it was very special.
Have a wonderful day Jack. You are special and today is YOUR day.


Good morning mum



Everyone needs to know it's my birthday. Jack has gone out with dad wearing the hat
.




My new schoolbag. Which is bigger?

Thanks Aunty Mimi, Uncle Clyce, Sofia and Critters

Thank you so much Aunty Mimi, Uncle Clyde and Sofia, Jeeves and Barclay. This present was soo cool. In fact that is what I said when I opened it. Mum and dad have told me now that I am 5 and I have such a cool bed I have to stay in it all night!!

Molly's best 21st photo yet

I am saving this one for the 21st party invites. I am surprised I managed to get the camera, and there were no words a mother could say.

The Golden Boy

Well with a faultless performance, Sabastian has managed to get the boys Iron GOLD. He performed on rings, bar, floor and vault. There was no doubting who would win, he was streaks ahead of all the other boys, and even better than most of the bronze boys also competeing.
Well done Sabastian!!

We haven't been able to get the smile off his face yet. And check out the muscles. I heard people in the audience commenting on his strength. I was sooooo proud!!
