Dear George

My dog George loves to catch stones in water - here he his at the river and with his best mate Max down at the forest

Mud pies

At the weekend mum took us down to the Waimak for a bit of water fun - we made mud pies and threw sticks for George and had a great couple of hours together in the autumn sun.

Willowbank

We love Willowbank. Its fun to feed and pat the animals. I love the roosters. Amy likes the kune kune pigs. We went twice last week to get out of the house so dad could rest up his sore foot in peace.

The next day we went down to the farm where lovely Uncle Duncan had made Amy a chocolate birthday cake so she got to blow out even more candles!

On 21st March my big sister turned 4!
Everyone had a fun day - lots of games and food and a mum made a huge big ice cream ballerina cake which Amy had requested since back in November! We played pass the parcel, pin the clothes on Amy, musical cushions, laughing tummies and a treasure hunt. Aunty bought Amy a beautiful Cinderella dress And Nana and Grandad bought her a scooter. Granny bought her ballet lessons and the clothes that will go with it. She cant wait.

Not as worrying as it looks - i am just practising my floating skills!
