Silly smiles

Bronte now puts on either this face, or closes her eyes when you are trying to take a picture. Imagine her normal smile, and you can understand how gorgeous she was in her fish dress, beautiful shoes, and flower hat.

End of term 1

On the last day of term 1, the parents got to see the progress of their future ballet stars. That is, they were allowed to see, rather than just peeking through the curtain like I do every week. The teacher, Miss Simone, is wonderful with this mix of graceful, awkward, shy, outgoing, tired, and hyperactive girls and boys. Bronte has a natural grace and softness to her dancing that her mother never ever came close to achieving, though more importantly, she really enjoys it. We will sign her up for term 2.

In the back garden

Picnic before cuddles in the back garden with Nanna. A typical, yet perfect Monday event.

Zoe's turn

It was time for Zoe's party - another great afternoon in the park. Bronte manages to sit next to the birthday person at every party...

The Family Shoot

Our wonderful friend Kate needed family portrait practice on her way to becoming a professional photographer - so we put our hands up, and see the results below. If anyone is looking - I cannot recommend her highly enough!

From Neve

An awesome Zebra outfit arrived from Melbourne - thank you Neve!

Mum, Zach and Bronte - by Bronte

The second time Bronte has written her name by herself. The first time was the day before, and is stuck on the fridge.

13 months

Our cheeky boy is now a toddler - though his style is rather zombie-esque. He LOVES shoes, taking lids off pens, and playing with power switches. He is loud, very loud, and also very funny - putting buckets on his head, and poking his sister. He insists on feeding himself, hence the messy food shots. He wants to do everything his sister can do, and there is a constant stream of "no Zachy, sit down Zachy, no jumping on the couch Zachy" etc., and he is that kid where quiet = trouble.
