...and David's best friend of all

Friends in Port Macquarie...

The beach!

David had his first ever visit to the beach. We visited the Mahers, who were staying at North Haven, and went to the beach with them.
















David enjoyed sitting on the sand (at a safe distance from the water) and touching it gently.

Cousins

David and I have recently returned from a 3 week holiday in Bonny Hills and Sydney. It was such a great time of catching up with friends and family - or meeting them in David's case.
We flew from Melbourne to Port Macquarie and went straight to the McIntyre's house where David had his first meeting with cousins. Tait, Alice and Poppy were very pleased to meet David and he thought they were wonderful.

More holiday pics to come...

"...these talented local songwriters..."

Last night we went to the semi-finals of the Song Writers' Award- part of our the local Darebin Council Music Festival.



Victor had entered a song about the Karen people, and made it into the semi-finals!





It was a great night. Victor sang, with Rachel on back-up vocals, Nell on piano, and David sitting front row supporting. (He loved it!) David and Gretta came too.




Victor didn't get through to the grand final, but it was a great experience being part of such a high quality event.

Thanks Aunt Megan

I was very pleased to receive a letter in the mail.






It was from my Aunt Megan.

I had a go at reading it myself...
...and then Mummy read it out to me.


It was very lovely. I will keep it on my wall.

Thanks Aunt Megan. I love you.

7 months (and 6)

Here is David on Saturday at 7 months old.






As you can see, Mum and Dad have lent us their piano. We are VERY thankful for it - all 3 of us.







David loves to play it, and to listen to it being played.















And here is a flash back to the day David was 6 months old. I always intended to show you our Half Birthday Celebration. Here David is delighting in his Half-Birthday cake and the "1/2" fish that Dad cooked. Aunt Seren was there to celebrate too.
