June 2010

Winter has hit, it is icy and cold and the girls are growing up fast. This month we have been to Rutherglen for Winery Walkabout, to Laura's 12th birthday party and Scott has been to Sydney to take photos. We also made a trip to Anglesea to visit Luke, Fi, Tanami and Banjo.

Maya is learning to ride a bike without training wheels and enjoying playing with her friends from kinder. Drawing, writing, making jewelery with beads, playing doctors and 'Mums and Dads' are her favorite activities. Dacing on Mondays, Kinder on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings keeps Maya busy.

Ruby has hit the 20 month mark and is talking like a pro - she seems to have command of most words now. She loves her friends, gives them kisses and cuddles and knows all their names. Ruby has adopted 'Pippy' as her 'best bear' and has become very attached - looks like we are in for another few years of trying not to lose a precious bear. Ruby is a very busy girl and never stops running, climbing, destroying, playing. She has quite a temper but is a happy little soul.

Work, kinder, toy library, volunteering, catching up with friends, the chooks, the garden, the 'almost on the way' shed, Maya's dancing, a bit of sewing, these are the things that are keeping us busy at the moment.
