Third update

Still with me?

AUGUST 2012
 August saw the Olympic Games and with it, various activities throughout schools and kinders.  For the 2 weeks Wydinia kiddies dressed up as an Olympian.  Given that August is still pretty cold, I opted to bang one of my old waterpolo hats on her head and dress her normally.  She kept it on all of the day!

 These pics are the follow up to the removal of the cypress that I mentioned a couple of posts back.  Because the trees in the yard had been planted only abut 15 years ago, they had always had the protection from the cypress from the elements.  Once they were gone, the house trees (all natives) are now bearing the brunt.  For this particular tree, it was all too much and it came crashing down ON TOP OF MARK as he was taking washing off the line for almost the first time ever!  As you can imagine, he is wary of going near the washing line again.  The only real bonus for me (leaving out the fact that Mark was not killed), was that I got a brand new washing line that is spiderweb free.

 Another tooth gone.  #7. Tooth Fairy working overtime.

 My cousin Monica made her deb back in August and I travelled to Melb with just Henry and mum to see her.  She looked beautiful and so happy.  This pic reminds me that I have to process all the pics I took of the day/night and give them to her.  Just another job unfortunately.....sorry Monnie!

The bouncing baby boy.  Quiet content.
