Pool and shaving

Our pool is close to being finished (or so we are told!). Our pool guy told us we should be able to swim in it next weekend.

Here is a photo of the shell and Michael's latest project (staining the fence).



Tahlia 'shaving' tonight (see video above)

I love you!

So I was cuggling Tahlia on the couch tonight and we were just about to start the night-time bed routine (teeth, nursery rhyme book, bed) when Tahlia looks up at me and says:

“I love you!”

Totally unprompted!

It's moment's like these that makes it all worthwhile.

Bits and pieces

Here are some photos taken in July when my family visited.

Isabella and her cousin Lily



My Dad and Step-Mum and their 'flowers' (one flower is missing - Hannah who was unable to make this trip).



I'm also downloading a gorgeous video of Isabella and Tahlia dancing to Hannah Montana this afternoon - very cute.

No more news on the pool front - although hopefully by the end of the month I'll be able to show you photos of the finished product. The pool anyway, not the landscaping/fencing.

I've gotta go and finish dinner (roast pork MMMMM) and there is also ironing calling out to me - "BE QUIET". Hehehehehe don't think it heard me.

Take care my loved ones!

Bart

Tahlia's kindy teacher bailed me up today as I was picking her up.

"Tahlia cracks me up!" she said.

Apparently all the children were sitting down (quietly) about ready to have morning tea.

Tahlia pipes up in a loud voice "I did a fart!"

Well thanks for sharing Tahlia.

All the ladies at kindy seem to find Tahlia eccentricities adorable - which is a good thing I guess.

We, her family, however, find her very trying at times.

Have lots to update but just wanted to quickly write this post.

PS the reason I called it 'bart' is because this is how Tahlia usually pronounces the word!

6 years ago

Isabella was born a little after 5.30pm on July 8th. She weighed 5 pounds 14.5 ounces.



Isabella on her first birthday.



Isabella about 2 years old (who incidently in this photo is a dead ringer for Tahlia - or I should Tahlia is a dead ringer for her!)



Isabella riding her new bike at her 3rd birthday party at Harbour Park.




And at her 4th birthday party celebrated at our house with her kindy friends.



Last year when Isabella turned 5.

I will update with the latest photo soon!

I can't believe my 'baby' is 6 already. She is having a nice holiday so far. Last week she spent with Michael and they went to the movies, bowling and bike riding. This week has really only begun but we are going to the movies tonight with her friend from school and Bella is EXTRA excited because it's her first 'night' movie! Hehehe.

I have my Dad and step-Mum coming tomorrow and then my step sister and two neices coming on Saturday. Can't wait!
