Apologies for blog silence of late. The laptop has been moved out to the completed shed/office which makes it much too hard for me to multi-task by blogging whilst making dinner and looking after the kids. Also seems too far away last thing at night to make the trip to the bottom of the garden.

Tonight is the penultimate Marriage Course evening. We are having a Thanksgiving dinner in honour of our Amercian lodger who has made pumpkin pie for the event. Yes, i know it's not thanksgiving until next week - at least i do now. I got it wrong last week and Erin was too jet-lagged and out of it to put me right! So thanksgiving it is - chicken mind you not turkey. Good thing is she has been invited round to some american friends for a proper thanksgiving next thursday.

Ethan and i are shortly heading out to his first school disco. It's kindy disco night tonight. There is the promise of face painting, BBQ and ice cream. The kids have been practising their dance moves. Yesterday when i went to pick up ethan they were having karaoke at mat time. Ethan gave us a rendition of Twinkle Twinkle little star standing on a stool and singing his heart out into the microphone. Born star.

Other grandchild news is that ethan has mastered riding a bike with stabilisers. Has had a few falls but nothing too serious. As for Immy, she is doing well and has learnt to nod yes - another wroe family landmark.

more photos soon x
