Jade's first day of Year One......

Monday 23rd January

It's been a very long last couple of weeks to the school holidays... and I must say that I'm glad school has gone back... but I'm thinking that Jade is even more glad than I.....  She got up this morning - very excited about going back to school and putting on her new uniform and her new shoes....  

I used to love school - so I understand the thrill of going back to school after the holidays - a new classroom - new teacher - new classmates......




Does she look like a Year One kid??  I'm not sure she's changed a lot since last year.... but I see her daily... so I'm not going to notice it as much.....


Poor Blake's got another stye... he's had a real run of them lately.... poor little guy....


Not sure she looks so thrilled to be going back in this pic...


The eye kept swelling over the morning.....
(looking even worse by bed time....  *sigh*)


Jade was very excited about her school shoes....



The shoes didn't come home looking as great....



Elijah is in Jade's class again... so she Eli and Heath are all sitting at one table right up the front of the classroom.... (hopefully that means they'll be paying a lot of attention to the teacher!)


Rob made it this year - Jade was so happy to have him there while she got settled in....


I was there too....





Heath & Jade


Charlotte is in their class too.... as is Daria - but she didn't want her photo taken.... 



Damian and Declan were in the adjoining room... Xander's class.... so that works well....


Jade & Xander

Charlotte and her Mum (Chrstine) and Dad


Jade had a brilliant day at school - came home telling me all about it.. and how she got to play in the new playground with her new friends   (she couldn't remember their names though... ehehe - it's very exciting being in year 1 so you don't need to care what the kids names are!)

The holiday comes to an end......

Monday 2nd January.....

The last day of Narelle and the boys visit.....We had a simple day just at home - let the kids swim and mooch around the house......  







This is a very "Shaf" picture.....  Daddy's boy....





Edmond was exhausted....


Jade playing her DS


Damien watching TV....

Blake isn't in the pictures - cause he was sleeping.... (seems to be a thing he does a lot! ehehe)



It was a great week.... we had a blast new years eve singing karaoke....  I'm not sure the Neighbours appreciated us... but we had a blast....  After everyone left I attempted to catch up on some much needed sleep....  4hrs/night while everyone was up nearly killed me!

Next holiday - Superbikes..... Phillip Island -  February..... bring it on!!!!!

New Years Day.....

Michael, Ingrid & Kurtice left around 11am on 1st January.... heading home to give Ingrid a day at home before having to return to work....

We took the boys for one last swim at Mom and Dad's place before Narelle's visit was over....  Not sure why I didn't get a picture of Jade in the pool - she definitely got in there with them... Blake was at home sleeping....  Anyway, you've all seen more than enough pics of Jade - so it's no major loss... :)








NYE Pool Party......

Saturday 31st December

After we got home from Tannum - the kids got into the pool... and stayed there all afternoon while we prepared for dinner.....  Blake slept through most of it - but made it into the pool by the end....





















February - Slumber Party Roller Disco

Friday 10th February PJ Party Time! Jade had arranged with her friend that they'd go in onesies to the disco.....  so tha...
