Finally managed to get the video camera going in time to capture this attempt to pacify the smaller sister 🙂
This almost compensates for the number of times I ‘mistakenly’ attempt to jump on her head each day….
Love mum
P.S. Rocky road to follow later this week
Hello!
Friday afternoon, you were practicing your climbing skills again by repeatedly climbing up and down the furniture in the lounge room and I thought, “great, a chance to get a video. Haven’t done one in ages.”. (more…)
Hello Poogie,
Yesterday was Father’s Day here in Australia. So we got up (not so early, as thankfully for the first night since you came down with a fever 5 days ago you slept through, until 5am when you breastfed then went back to sleep until 7:30am. Bliss! First present of the day to Dad and me!!), then you and I cooked Daddy french toast for breakfast.

I like standing up here with you!
Good Morning and Happy New Year!
We had a GREAT New Year’s eve and New Year and new year’s day so far! It was beautiful, relaxing and fun. We started off by packing and then went to the ferry with a little time to spare. After waiting for Mike to arrive (which he did with 2 minutes to the ferry arriving), we lined up with another 15 people and all their luggage and waited excitedly to get on. Cockatoo Island was in plain sight and a 3 minute ferry ride away.
Alas – the ferry was full! At this point with one car and a LOT of stuff, all the roads in Balmain closed (it was just after 3pm), we were kinda stuck. We figured the next ferry would be just as full so it would be tricky to get there.. So close yet so far.   I phoned all the water taxis and alas, all booked out. After a half hour wait with really no options luckily some others on the wharf with us managed to get a water taxi to arrive and we amazingly managed to cram 14 people with a lot of luggage onto a little yellow boat… I wish I’d taken a photo but with really no room to fiddle around it didn’t happen. But we made it!!!
We got to the island, found a spot for our tents and set up camp. Then got a nice grassy spot overlooking the harbour bridge and right out in front of the mid-river barge, got the food, table and chairs out and settled in for the afternoon/evening.
And it was lovely! Lots of food, fireworks, chats but generally a very relaxed way to bring in the new year. There were a lot of families around, and there was heaps of space for everyone to spread out as much as they liked. The fireworks were amazing, with lots of lights up close and far away. We were so close to the barge that we were getting black specks from the fireworks all over us. Your dad wanted to know what you thought of it all – it was really really loud. We figured you could definitely hear it in there. Hope it was fun and not too scarey!
Anyway, tired and watching series one of Dr Who with your dad.
love you
mum
