Airport

We dropped Daddy at the airport and we watched the planes land and take off. The kids love to watch the planes and are amazed everytime we see them.

Enjoying playing at the water park in Darling Harbour.

Ballet

Hannah started Ballet recently and it has now become her most favourite activity to do.  Everything now revolves around ballet and she continues to dance around at home all week.

 

At the beach

While Hannah was at preschool, Sebastian and I went to Shark Bay for a swim and play at the beach.  We had so much fun running in and out of the water and playing in the sand.  Sebastian is growing in confidence with the waves and doesn't mind when he gets a dunked by a wave.

Zoo

A great morning spent at the zoo.

Scooter ride

A fun afternoon riding their scooters around Bondi Beach.

 

Hannah's first day

Hannah was so excited to go to her preschool today.  She ran into the centre and just fit in straight away.  There were no tears and when it was time for me to go, she just waved goodbye and continued playing.  When I went to pick her up in the afternoon, she didn't want to come home.  

First day

First day back at Preschool.  He was very excited to get back and see all his friends and meet some new ones.  He will go three days this year in lead up to Kindergarten next year.  

 

Australia Day

We went to the Botanical Gardens for Australia Day to see all the boats racing on the harbour.  It was lovely to sit there in the gardens and just soak up the atmosphere and celebrate what a great country we live in.

Uwe in Japan

I was in Japan skiing with friends celebrating JJ's 40th birthday. Niseko is the powder capital of the world without doubt, snow meters high and wonderful powder conditions. Niseko village is more or less run by Australians. Most times you share a lift with a stranger you just talk about the suburb in Melbourne or Sydney you are from. Japanese food is just sensational and there are a lot of restaurant and bars we went to. One of them even had a fridge door as an entry. It was great to catch up with friends, tasting Japanese whiskey (which is pretty good) but I missed my family a lot. Next time skiing I'll take them along.    

Watercolour paints

Painting, colouring and drawing are some of the kids most favourite things to do at home.  They just love it.

Sleepover

While Uwe was in Japan, the kids had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpas for a couple of days.  They had fun at the playground and went to Featherdale Wildlife Park and fed the kangaroos and patted the koalas and even a snake.  While they had fun, Mummy spent time at the beach, went to the movies and had a lovely massage and facial.
