end of a good thing

Sebastian has been going to preschool this year as many of you will know. He has had a great time, he has made some lovely friends and reigned in some of his "wildness". But on tuesday this all came to an end. I dont think the reality that he is not going back to that fun fun place has sunk in yet. I myself have such fond memories of preschool that I have found it very sad that it is over for him too. It seems like only yesterday that I was hanging out in the cubby house, painting every surface that moved, using enough glue and coloured squares to sink a ship and meeting a friend who would remain with me all my life so far.
Sebastian has made some lovely friends this year and I hope for him he can have a friendship too that withstands the tests of time, distance, and human sinfulness.

holidays at brunswick

we had a lovely holiday way back in Sept/Oct with our good friends the Gillies. The Holiday was tinged with sadness as the realisation dawned on Derek and Berty that they had not been accepted as part of The Amazing Race for 2010. They did take it in their stride and we were able to continue on and have a good holiday anyway. It began with impetigo for Elliot and ended with bad tonsilitis and vomitting for Sebastian. Ah the memories. Here tho they are all having a good time.

seeing in the new year

with stories and sparklers! ( I took a lot of sparkler photos - this was the best of a bad bunch - obviously I know nothing about nighttime photography)

mates

this is Sebastians very good friend indeed, most waking moments are spent talking about him and whenever we can see him its a happy day! And whats more they both love yellow - its all good!

good times

Kisses from Chloe and stacks on Derek the lolly man

our friends the fitz

we recently got to see our friends the fitz. It was such a joy to see our kids all together and especially seeing Sebastian and Joshie playing so nicely and enjoying each other - even though they havent seen each other since April 08. We so want them to be friends like we are - we met when we were 3 so they have 2 years over us so far, and even though the distance is great it was heartwarming to see them being as good a friends as 3 year olds can be. As for Elliot and Maddie - well they laid next to each other as all good 3month old baby friends can do.
