Greg's first wibbly tooth

September holidays

Just back from a week's camping up the coast. We met up with Mom & Dad, my aunt, Pam, who has just turned 60, and her three sons, some of whom we hadn't seen for up to 13 years.

Just what I wished for
So absorbed...and delighted. It was an extended birthday with celebrations at home..
with schoolfriends,in the park with Granny, Grandpa and cousins ,

and a Fireman's birthday party at home a week later...

A houseful of boys

Getting ready for the Fireman's Obstacle Course which was a great hit

Boys not shy

Having a bit of a dance to some great African music down on the river.

Greg insisted on dressing up as Robin Hood for the outing to a Coffee & Chocolate Extravaganza but was rather taken aback by the crowds and the attention he thought his appearance would attract.

Charmaine, your apples reminded me of this scene

at the Exhibition last month.

Not that I plan the hanging of the washing or anything

We have this old rose bush in our garden that never fails to bloom each year. It survives on absolutely no attention from us and produces the most beautiful fragrant flowers time and time again.
