Zane's second B'day

Hi again,

Our nephew Zane turned 2 last week, his birthday was last Saturday.

Aimee enjoyed herself being the only girl at the party and enjoyed playing with Zane's toys. She also enjoyed the egg & spoon race and singing Happy B'day (well the hip hip hooray part at least).

We all enjoyed the "Thomas the Tank Engine" cake :)

It was a fun day, have a look at some photos of the day at Cindy, Brad and Zane's Blog.

Rose's Birthday

Hi all, how was your w/e?

We had a busy w/e, it was Rose's Birthday on Saturday. The day started with Aimee and I singing Happy Birthday...hip hip... hooray. Rose opened her present... which she liked - she chose it :) For lunch, we went for a picnic at Nielson Park in Vaucluse with Lars, Jeff, Kitty, Thao and Craig (also his b'day).

The weather was nice - initially :( - Aimee and I were making sand castles on the beach with Kitty and Jeff when a wind storm blew up and it got cold and cloudy very quickly (dropped 10 deg C). Rose, Thao, Craig and Lars were copping a sand blasting at the picnic site just behind the beach at Nielson Park - so moved to a sheltered location, and at least finished out picnic lunch as the rain started. :(. So, Kitty & Jeff invited us all back to their place for coffee and cake cutting (luckily Thao was organised and brought a cake). Anyway it was a fun day, Rose and Aimee enjoyed themselves - I hope...

Sunday was just a hectic, our other friends Christine and Vic were coming for arvo tea with their daughter Hope (4+ months older than Aimee). So we dropped Aimee over at my brother's place to play with her cousin Zane (also 2) while I was to do the garden and Rose finishing baking a cake, biscuits and cleaning up. Between watching the first 45 mins of the Bathurst 1000, picking up Aimee and the Gardening I ran out of time - Chris and Vic turned before I could shower. A quick shower later, avro tea and a few beers, Vic and I watched the very exciting final 30 mins of the race due to rain and a safety car.

We also went for dinner last night to Aqua Vista with my family to celebrate Rose's Birthday. We rushed home to bed, it was paste Aimee's bed time, and I wanted to get up and watch the replay at 1am of the Chinese F1 GP in Shanghai. What can I say, F1 races are the best when it's wet - the rain closes the field up and adds another variable to team tactics / luck.

anyway, have I bored you yet? cya next time.

Aimee's 2nd B'day

Hi again,

Aimee's party on Saturday. Hectic, but fun. Everyone over at 2pm and out by 6pm...good idea this afternoon tea thing of Rose's. Aimee enjoyed herself, so tired she was straight to bed after the party almost.

She played with every present she got, especially her new pram and dolly as well as her Thomas the tank engine set...It was funny, she woke up on Sunday in a half dazed state and said 'hooray'...obviously dreaming of singing happy b'day the day before.

It was fathers day here on Sunday, so we went for lunch at Rose's brothers place to catch up with her father, then for dinner at "chinese" to catch up with my father. Nice and relaxing day actually.

Got my weather station the other day, now need to set it up. The plan is to have the data on the web site - possibly. We'll see how I go.

Blog you soon.
