Star of the Week
I help with Georgia’s kindergarten on Thursday mornings and this morning, at the teachers’ suggestions, I brought Matthew along with me! He was very well behaved. He played with play dough and he drew pictures, played in the home corner (mostly with the telephone: “Hello…Bye”) and he even ran about with the students when they […]
Cute!
We are having a few difficulties settling our son to bed at night. He keeps getting out of bed and running into our room and wanting to play! One night he was not settling, as usual, and I could hear him scuffling around in his bedroom. When it finally went quiet I was relieved because […]
Homecoming

A reunion of sorts
Yesterday Monte’s god mother and Gordon’s cousin, Janice, came to visit us with her daughter Gayle and two of their friends. They are holidaying in Tasmania and they are thoroughly enjoying it! It was lovely to see Janice again and I think she loved seeing how much the children had grown up since she last […]
Life at Fangorn – an excerpt from a letter
