Sydney Aquarium

with Annie, Maddie & Tia. We had a very fun day - Dugongs are so cute (and chuppin' - as Mads would say :) Tia loved the dugongs, though they did scare her when the swam right next to her! Tia got a pink stuffed Dugong - she named it "Tia". Mads got a grey one and named it "Bosh" I guess it means Cow in french. Tia loved posing with the mermaid (who looks a little freaky if you ask me!)
It was a beautiful day at Darling Harbour - and we really enjoyed a lunch at a restaurant overlooking the water. I wondered if it would be my last?!

the big brother.

he is such a great big brother to this little sister. He plays with her, he reads to her. He loves to get hugs and kisses from her. today as they were walking back from our fun day at the beach, she fell. after that he made sure someone was holding her hand. all the time.

(i wonder how we can get him to feel that way towards a certain little brother?)

this boy.

played his last baseball game as a Ku-Ring-Gai Stealer. They won 5-3. Jonah was MVP of the game. he pitched GREAT. It was happy/sad. We will miss being Stealers!!!!!

All MYSELF!

she ordered, she paid and she walked away with her pink slushie. all by herself.
she is after all 3.5!

Home safely :)

She had a great time - of course :) She said it was awesome. She didn't say she missed us. sigh. she is growing up way too quickly!

(with her best friend "Jax")

She left for camp today . . .

Bella left for a 2 day school camp this morning - waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! I'm missing her - I don't like her being away! Today it has been raining and in the 60's - (first day of Autumn) and they are sleeping in tents! Matt called me just to say he doesn't like that it is raining with her at camp either. No way are we ready for our children to grow up!
