AT LAST!!!!!

Here we have a picture of Elise aged 11 months. 2 weeks later she was walking everywhere.

Here is Nathan, a bit of a Mummy's boy, so not walking until 13 months.
Here is Miss Speedy Marissa. This is her at her first birthday party. She had already been walking great for about 5 weeks!!!

Look at her crazy scarecrow hair. hee hee.

And here we have JJ. AT LAST!!! He is still a bit wobbly but at almost 16 months (!!!!) J has decided to join the land of the walkers.

I really thought he would be a very early walker as he was crawling at 4 1/2 months and was getting up stairs at 5 months, but oh well.

To be honest, as he is my fourth, I have been enjoying his extra long crawling as I know the crazy time we have ahead of us now he is completely mobile.

Let the games begin.

End of the School Year

Can you see Marissa's little lips in the corner of this picture? She will have to wait for pudding.

Well we are finished- HURRAH!!!!

We are excited to have our end of school year party tonight and then prepare ourselves for a fantastic fun-filled six weeks of school holiday.

But first, I have to thank some wonderful women.

MRS MARGRETTS....
This beautiful lady was Elise's year one teacher and I can't praise this woman enough. She is amazing!!!!! Elise has loved every second of being in her class and has changed dramatically. Elise is so much more confident and happy with school because of this wonderful woman. We love you Mrs. Margretts.
The lady above would probably kill me for this picture, but she is the lovely Mrs Marks. What a patient woman- not because she had Nathan in her class-because as you all know, Nathan is an angel; but because she put up with neurotic ME!!! This poor woman had to put up with me not only constantly worrying about Nathan starting school, but his newly diagnosed asthma, accidents leading to casualty visits and several other worries.

We love you Mrs. Marks.

I am so grateful that my children have such great friends at school- who I'm sure we will see lots of in the holidays.
I'm glad my kids enjoy school-most of the time! But for the next 46 days THEY ARE ALL MINE!!!!!! And I can't wait for it to start!

Some fun blogs to come-I hope?!?!

School Report.

I have to put up this entry on before I burst with pride.

Elise and Nathan came home with the best school reports. They are doing amazing with their school work and their teachers love having them in the class.

A couple of quotes....

'Nathan has a great attitude towards learning and his confidence has grown throughout the year, enabling him to show us how clever he is.'

'Elise has a super attitude towards work tasks, is always engaged and therefor has made very progress in all areas. Elise, you are a star.'

'Elise has a wonderful singing voice, very tuneful and perfectly pitched. Elise shows great musical potential.'

'Nathan is a very gentle, kind and handsome little boy.'

I love these kids who amaze me at how great they are.

I am one lucky Mummy!
