Birthdays & Holidays

It's been a busy time and I've been a bit of a slack Blogger lately. I've just started my Masters in Education (Library) and I'm pretty busy. Really should be studying now, but . . . well there's always an excuse and I wanted to keep you all up to date.

Here's Laura with Samuel - her friend from school - and his sister Bree, they all have LOTS of fun together.

Can you see the similarity???


Aunty Kate's been knitting again - this hat was meant for Laura but ended up (nearly) fitting Marisa - we think she looks like a French baby wearing it.
Aunty Kate is super and knitted a matching hat for Laura in a bigger size! Laura also got the jacket and scarf for her birthday. Very handy in what is proving to be a COLD Toowoomba Winter.

Laura is now a big 5 year old girl. She had joint birthday dinner party with Aunty Weeza at our house.

The Birthday Girls!!!
Laura chose Marisa's outfit for the party - she thinks she looks like the most beautiful baby in the world with this dress on.
Laura's Hula outfit was a huge hit on her birthday.



We've also had a holiday to the "Worlds" - MovieWorld & SeaWorld with Lou & Pat and Deb & Matt. We had a ball. Laura wasn't quite brave enough for the big rides (although the big people certainly enjoyed them!) but there were still lots of fun things for her to do. It's feeling VERY cold back in Toowoomba after a few warm days on the coast.
I'm thinking I shouldn't have stood next to Wonder Woman - I'm looking very not Wonderish!

Laura's favourite ride - driving her own car. I think she came into her own on the 4th go when she started overtaking other kids on the corners!

Hi Mann-ardi's

Its Mike from New Zealand. Dave was kind enough to send me this link. Marisa looks great in that little blue hat, very cute. Your self and Andy will have to get matching ones too. And Laura looks soo much older than when I last saw her. I didn't realize they tip a whole jug of water when you get baptized. I thought it was a bit of a sprinkling. It was good to see a few photos of the clan and Lou as well. I will put your email in my contact list and send a msg some time. Mine is jestermx@gmail.com . All is good over here in kiwi land. Its true, there are lots of sheep. Anyway..

Bless you guys
Mike
