5 and 1

Posted on    by

Been another long while since I did a post on our kids! So, lots of pictures in this update post. I think we’re blessed in that both Hannah and Peter’s birthdays are in the month of June – which nicely coincides with the stipulated school holidays in the public school calendar. We celebrated both their birthdays at home; with friends in Hannah’s case, and with our larger family for Peter. Hannah is of course at an age now where she recognizes the significance of having a birthday, and that it’s not just about having more presents and toys to play with. Peter on the other hand was completely nonplus about it and probably wondered what all the fuss was about when the family all gathered around him for the celebration song.

Hannah just turned five!

And received from us a Nikon compact camera as a birthday present.

We haven't bought Hannah a lot to swim in the new main pool @ Minton, given that our weekends have been quite packed with activities. She's been taking swimming lessons too at school, so is more comfortable now in the water.

We've started letting Peter have his tidbits of food with us when we eat out of home. Necessary method of engagement, otherwise he'd just bawl (out of boredom?!).

Peter more interested in his birthday cake than the singing.:)

Peter is nearly able to stand unsupported on his own now. At the moment, he can keep his balance for a few seconds, but he's getting there.

  1. Hi CY,
    Your kids have grown up so much, especially Peter. He looks so much different in that standing position. :) Soon he will be walking around.. kids – they really grow up too fast.. aren’t they?

    How’s life in Minton? Do you still come back to Rivervale?

  2. Hi Emily. Nice to hear from you.:) Life @ Minton pretty OK, though the place enjoys less breezy ventilation than our Rivervale home. We go by to our old home now and then, mostly to check on things etc. but we’ll be selling that property.
