A Long Weekend

Today was our second bank holiday for May – hoorah, an extra day of both Mummy and Daddy!!

Mummy let Daddy have a lie-in this morning, as he was off all Saturday and Sunday supporting their friend, Brian do a big run from Birmingham from London! Phew, what a long way to run (145 miles to be precise actually!). Then we headed off to David Lloyd so that I could have a play with their toys, and Mummy and Daddy could have a coffee! I had loads of fun going down the slide, and kept climbing up to the top again and again! I walked home with Daddy, while Mummy took a longer route home and ran it.

In the afternoon we went down to the Wacky Funhouse, where I really wore Mummy out with all the climbing, crawling, scampering up and down and fitting through tiny spaces! This car was ace, I didn’t want to leave!

But leave we did, and onward to The Ferry where we met with Mummy and Daddy’s friends Paul and Ellie, and my friend Sam! It has been a few weeks since we last saw them, and I was a little shy. I soon started giving everyone smiles though. Sam and I enjoyed playing on the grass, while our parents caught up!

Home Again

Today was a sad day, we had to pack up all our gear and fly back to the UK. It was so lovely to see everyone again, but it won’t be too long until we are back in Melbourne for good.

We had a nice few days back down in Thirroul to end off our holiday. Mummy and Daddy went for a swim in the ocean, everyone else thought they were crazy, it was too cold, but it was really quite mild for us! I had great fun playing on the sand, and Daddy even took me into the water as well! Uncle Andy came down to visit us as well, it was good because I hadn’t really had a chance to see him much. I also played lots with cousin Patrick too!

Ah, another long flight ... I am becoming an expert flier these days. Pity I don't qualify for frequent fliers!

Uncle Andy and Auntie Karen's Wedding

Not too much of a lie-in, I was up at 6:30 am! Mummy and I got busy getting ready, and then we were off to the Tea Ceremony at Uncle Andy and Auntie Karen’s place.

The Tea Ceremony was very busy. There were so many unfamiliar faces that I was a bit scared – I wouldn’t let anyone but Mummy or Daddy hold me. Mummy says her arms were very sore at the end of the morning!

Daddy looking dapper in his 'best man' suit! Mummy looks alright too :)

Uncle Andy had to prove he was a worthy suitor for Auntie Karen, he did lots of push-ups which I thought looked like a lot of hard work! Seems like he did prove his worth though, and they then continued on with the ceremony. The whole morning was lots of fun, but it wore me out. I needed a nap. Mummy took me back to Auntie Mel and Uncle Andy’s place where I spent the rest of the day. Cousin Lachlan and I had a lot of fun together!

Mummy says the rest of the day was lots of fun; what a shame I had to miss out. A very nice ceremony and lots and lots of lovely food ....

Happy Birthday Mummy!

Today Daddy and I gave Mummy a special treat. We let her have a lie-in! Mummy actually went back up to Sydney yesterday afternoon with Auntie Melissa and Lachlan. Auntie Mel and cousin Lachlan came down to visit us on the beach, we had lots of fun at the park and playing in the sand!

Daddy and I came up today with Grandma and Grandpa, so Mummy got to have the whole morning off and was spoilt by Auntie Mel; coffee and a big slice of chocolate cake! Yum yum!!

In the afternoon Daddy had to do wedding stuff with Uncle Andy, so I got to play with Mummy, Auntie Mel and Lachlan. We especially had great fun in the bath splashing about!

As an extra birthday treat for Mummy, I am going to try and have a big lie-in tomorrow morning!

I hear that Mummy is also to be spoilt by Auntie Mel and Uncle Andy tonight ... a good curry and French champagne!

Oh I do Like to be Beside the Seaside

After a morning of playing with Lachlan, and a quick trip to the park, we were off again. Thankfully Auntie Mel and Uncle Andrew lent us their Tom Tom, so no problems getting out of Sydney. This time we were off to Thirroul, where Grandma and Grandpa had rented a house for a couple of weeks. Well what a great location! It was right on the beach, with great views from the living room.

It is going to be a good few days down here!

We've Landed

A good day of flying, and we are now in Sydney. We arrived last night at 10pm, we were even an hour early! Auntie Karen (to be) came and picked us up, and after a quick bath and cuddle I was shipped off to bed. I had a good 7 hours sleep and gave Mummy and Daddy a small (7:30am) lie in.

The flying was fun, I was too excited on the first flight to get much sleep, much to Mummy and Daddy’s dismay. I did have fun walking and crawling up and down the isle and amusing other people on the flight with my antics. By the time we reached Dubai I was an exhausted little girl! A short stop over, and then we were on our next flight. Had a good sleep on Mummy, and then with Daddy, much to their relief.

Today Mummy and I attended Auntie Karen’s Bridal Luncheon. Well, I sleep through most of it, but did make an appearance towards the end. I was still a little tired and grumpy though. Afterwards we were off to stay at Auntie Melissa and Uncle Andrew’s house. I was so excited to get their when I saw all of Lachlan’s toys, and being able to play with Lachlan too. It was too long without someone my own age.

Off We Go Again ...

Yay, holiday time again ... so lots of time with Mummy and Daddy!! Today we are off on our 2 week trip to Sydney for Uncle Andy's wedding. Mummy and Daddy aren't looking forward to the flight, but I'm sure I'll surprise them with me stellar behaviour ...

An Afternoon in the Sunshine

This morning I had some time with Daddy, and he took me to the pool to go swimming. I love to go swimming! This afternoon it was Mummy's turn to look after me, and we had some fun outside!



Afterwards I needed a change of clothes ... I was very wet!

Mummy and Daddy went out for the evening, and Brian and Alison came over to look after me. I particularly enjoyed reading books with Alison, I called her up for some more stories a little later in the evening (thanks Alison!).

Mummy is Home!

Hoorah, Mummy is home! I was so excited to see her this morning, I was bouncing up and down in my cot when she came into my room.

Mummy was on a training course for work, so I got to spend all my time with Daddy (well, when I wasn't at nursery). I did my best to keep things busy for him, and even managed to get yoghurt all over his pants!! They'll need to see the dry cleaners now ... it was lovely having the time with Daddy, he makes me laugh!
