Birthdays more!

Miss Alice cruising at Aunty Joce's and she found a ball! All night long Kelvin was trying hard to get Alice to sit with him!

Instead she just played and teased him all night long!

Our dear friends daughter turned 14 this week and tonight we celebrated her birthday!

Can I lick the icing off my elbow? Well Christie did try! :)
Thumbs up for a party of any sort!

All Five Children you have to be fast!

Aiden and Christie!

Hope it was a good wish!

Alice and Harry the cat who is bigger?

What is Aiden doing I hear you ask? I know screaming as Harry vacates his lap! Claws and all!

Just seconds before the scratch Aiden thought he was super lucky!

Yeah Right!

Happy Birthday Christie! It is amazing that you have grown so much!

We had a lovely night!

Hugs Ruth Keith, Aiden, Emily and Miss Alice!

I need some reflective time!

Life has been really hectic lately with loads of questions and self doubt certainly has crept in! I find myself second guessing myself and when I have asked for support in my work place it is certainly lacking! I feel so isolated at times!
Now If only we could just get organised and feel on top of our day to day routine it would be better!
I am certainly re evaluating what we are going to be doing over the next 12-24 months! I sense great change a foot!
Breathe!
Breathe!
Breathe!!!!!!!!
My mantra at the moment!

Aiden and High School Musical

Dear Aiden
Click here for the photos from the show!
http://gallery.meltnz.co.nz/private/High-School-Musical/?key=7a9ff87e7f8febabff6978d37eb87e51c8e45048ca30d224d6bb609969d739df

Aiden took these photos! I hope you enjoy them, he had a blast and can I say he was so fantastic and yes I was biased however loads of others told us that! He certainly never showed signs of nerves and with going to opening and closing nights we saw a great increase in his performance! Think these kids had 15 days of rehearsals before putting on the show! They were just amazing!

He is certainly missing the cast! and school seems a bit surreal and it appears to be taking him a while to settle!

His name in print! Way cool! and he is very proud of it! So are we!

After the final show there were tears from the cast! A great opportunity to have heaps of hugs! LOL! he also got one of the cast members to sign his head! Go figure! He also wanted to go to the after cast cast party and sadly his mean parents said no! He accepted that but has text loads of texts to all the cast! So it will be interesting to see what happens from here! I think he has the performing bug!

Aiden looks so happy in this shot! And is he proud of all he has achieved this summer! We however are more proud than he will ever know and it is because he rose to the task mastered it and executed it in an amazingly professional way!

Our star! Our Shining star!

Hugs always Mum and Dad

Sweetpie and her many moods!

I don't want up or down just do what I want! Please Daddy!
This was Miss Alice at the dragon boat racing on Friday. With 20 minutes of this photo she was sound asleep! And had a long nap in the pram!

This was Alice a few nights ago being a cheeky monkey! Tonight actually tops it all off! She was in her bed sound asleep and was tired somehow a little big girl woke her then we had a chorus of Goodnights from her and then Zai jian and the cutest smiles! She was so cute even Daddy was sitting and working at the table with a huge smile!

She is at daycare for 6 hours a day and when we drop her off she is sad but when we pick her up she has a smile and normally I stand outside the room and watch through the windows and she finally sees me and comes running with the biggest hugs! They are the best! We are working on walking into the centre and walking out rather than being carried! She is so cute even when she is being the most wicked toad!

She certainly makes me smile more everyday and we all certainly love her deeply!

Hugs Ruth

The Devine Miss Em!

Yesterday was a day filled with great pride for Keith and I. Firstly Emily had her Chinese dance performance in front of people whom she didn't know her real first public show! It was amazing to watch her rise to the occasion. The group of 6 little girls all did so well with their dances!

Emily was outside watching the big girls practise their dances she was so captivated by it all and was practising the moves in her head to the dances they were doing!

The best bit was make up Mum I love it! Please can we have more!

See the smile on her face while she dances and is watching the crowd!

How can you not love that smile!

Hugs Ruth
