Daddy's horse

Wednesday 18 November

Spent the day at home, on the deck.

I started fixing the horse.

I made this horse and the patch work dog

for Shane 1st birthday.

Amelia loved the horse. And when I put her

on it she was moving, riding it on.

She must have been tired but refuse to
have a nap in her cot.
So we simply chill out outside with the
birds and my neighbour was doing the
Same with Ella her baby.
Time to time we could hear Ella.
Amelia kept on looking over.

Tired possum

I cut a piece of the wool and she is trying to put it

back on.

Giddy horse

Play on the deck

Cruising around
Thirsty work

Amelia kept on laying down.

So I went and put her for a nap.

But then in her cot she stand

and throw her 2 dummies

across the room.

So back on deck

A new trick this week.

She now bite the peg to open it.

yes she got pinch a few time

but did it again.

She love looking at the reflexions in the window

Wold family pic nic day

Today at the Armory was the Parkland foundation

2nd world family pic nic day.

Like last year it was not well advertised,

But there were more people, still they had a lot of spare

freebees left.

Claude was his obnoxious self again but I managed

to get a free hat (which he wore as it was sooo hot)

a free environmental bag and a Frisbee for Mykaela.

so not bad considering he did not want me to get a bag soooo

I refused to get his coffee and we compromised.

We then went to check the new cafe

A bit pricey.

As it was a hot day kids were running

in and out of the fountain

I wish I could do it too

Good day

Play pen

This week I finally got the play pen out of the attic.

Amelia loves the beads.

But she shake the play pen a lot.

I think it is too late now for her.

She has so much the habit of going everywhere with me.

Now she is not being able to follow as I move round
the play pen make a good gate for the out door stair way.

and in the living room it protect her from the corners

of the coffee table.

Giving 5 to grand dad.

Almost finished her Vegemite noodles.
Now she is feeding herself.
But she still hold in the other hand her toast with cream cheese.
And in between I give her some of my salmon,
she love it.

Spoon in the other hand and feeding herself
with her fingers, it goes quicker...

Eating strawberries and blueberries.

Today blueberries were in favour.

Our new tennant

In April, Claude built the possum house.

At lunch time Claude and I were eating

on our deck, when I happened to look at the

possum house and got a shock.

A little head was in the doorway

looking at the noisy birds on their feeding table.

I had just put food there and there was a dispute.

We don't know how long it had been living there

because when it curl up and went back to

sleep we couldn't see it anymore.

Claude is very satisfied that all the work

he did was not in vain.

We went to Woolwhich to have a look at the Jacarandas. And came by the historical Woolwhich dock

A caisson.

After the ship came into the dock,

the caisson was floated across the entrance

and flooded to sink into place.

The water was pumped out of the dock.

ship in position.
