January 2010

Hey Everyone, Lily and Harry here…
Wok Harry… I’m first… well we seen the New Year in at Inverell as the twins were christened the next day.. Mum and Dad are Olly’s godparents and Mum too the opportunity to get the “whole family” photo that we never seem to get…

Once we got back to Newcastle we were all very tired after a huge 10 days in Inverell so we just kicked back for a week or so to recover… Harry thought it was time for me to learn how to protect myself… I do have 2 big brothers and I need to be able to hold my own…
so first he showed me how it’s done..

Then in a quick move that even Harry didn’t even see coming I flipped him and once again I was in control..

I got the boys covered no problem at all..

It was also a very exciting month for me and for Mum as well because my Hair finally got long enough to put into a pony tail…

and even more adventurous.. Mum got Pig tails as well..

It was also a big month for Gross motor skills as I learnt how to climb..

and play the piano and sing…

Ok Lily shift aside Time for me to get in…
Hey Harry here.. well santa did well this year and Bubba and I got Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtle movies so TURTLE MANIA hit our house…
First Dad made some cool costumes – he ripped the material with his very own hands and teeth… Man v’s wild style…

Then Mum modified the design with the simple “pillow as the shell” technique

Then towards the end of the month Ma bought us proper Turtle outfits and it was unreal!!!

That brings us around to Birthday time of the month.. Back to you Lily…
Thanks Harry… Well My Birthday is first and the most important because I was 1…
The day started with Pressies from Harry, Joe, Mum and Dad…

We had a little party at home and I got some really cool pressies.. I got some shakers and some cool dunlop volley’s

Mum made a nice choccie mum cake

and I ate it all…

Over to you Harry to talk about your Birthday..
Thanks Lily.. well my Birthday is 2 days’ after Lily’s but I got one of my pressies the week before..
Aunty Jod and Uncle Matt got me tickets to Oakdale farm..

So up we headed for the day… it was really cool.. we got to see all these big and baby animals and we got to feed them

Lily liked patting them.. but I think the baby goats thought they were going to eat her!!! because they were eating everything!!!

Bubba didn’t like it as much.. they scared him, they were quite aggressive the little things… especially when there was milk on offer…

so to settle down we had some lunch..

After Lunch I had a ride on the train with Aunty Jod… Bubba didn’t want to go on the train but he loved waving to me as we went around

On my actual Birthday the day started with Presents from Joe, Lily and Mum and dad

Then I went outside and had a play on the superslider.. I went really fast because Dad put detergent on the plastic and gave me a big push..

and then I had a party in the park.. I had a great time with all my mates.. we played cricket and played on the swings and on the climbing thing

and we played hide and seek

and Mum made the best green turtle cake… and it was yummy…

after all this stuff in January we needed a couple of weeks to re coup… it had been a really busy couple of months…
