Annie's first sports day race :-)

I just HAD to go along and see/film Annie in her first running race at school. Ben and I were both dreadful sprinters, and I am not entirely sure any genetic miracles have occurred in this realm ;-) But how fun is it to see your kids run in a race - too too cute!!!

UQ Swimming Pool on a Sunday Arvo :-)

This is all three children in the deep end of UQ pool having a swim, play, bombdive etc. They provide life jacket thingies for all those who cannot swim, and Annie is not yet 100% confident in the deep end yet, so she has one on. Her swimming is going great though - she swims just fine if she knows she can touch the bottom at any time!

This is Annie have a dance up in the backyard with yet another one of Charlotte's dress-creations on! It was a lovely Saturday afternoon. I was filming this from the love-swing, where my tomatoes are growing very healthily. Life is good!

Charlotte on Viola

Never to be outdone, here is Ms Shashie on the viola playing Scary Night. Very nicely :-)

Oliver on the Cello

Oliver's cello had the usual shaky beginnings of any young 'strings' student, but we are getting there, and he is sounding good now! Super proud of his progress!

Saturday Deck Life :-)

This is us all on the deck after a big lunch time swim at the UQ pool - we had a freak early Spring heat of around 35 degree days so we made the most of it. It is 'cold' again now, but it was so nice to feel the sun again for a bit. Something to do with pressure systems, but I am not an expert ;-) Oliver is playing with the car sent to BEN for BEN's birthday from Lou, Devon and Fiona and MUCH appreciated by Oliver :-) Ben was bludging in the hammock and got busted, and Charlotte is up the back dancing away in her usual pre-teen ways these days. I was listening to records, yes records and it was nice day.
