Abi turns 9 !

Abi celebrated turning 9 in style - Nyah came over for dinner and helped decorate the B'day cake and then the weekend after her b'day she had a party at the new Watermark swimming complex - complete with tube water slides and bouncy inflatables.  I think "the best b'day ever" was heard more than once.

Decorating the cake

Happy b'day 9 yr old!

Quality time

Over the holidays the kids got to spend some quality time with Poppy and Nanny.  First yabbying in our dam and then a sleep over at Eyensbury and a trip to the Werribee zoo.

Start of the holidays

The start of the school holidays was a rippa - a beautiful spring day full of fun in the outdoors.

My 3 boys!

Hunting for millipedes in the dirt - doesn't get much better than this.

Emily's tooth

Early in September Emily lost her first tooth - she was very proud of such an achievement and then promptly hid it from the "tooth fairy" that night to see what would happen!  (she still got money and got to keep the tooth, clever Em I say)
