David goes to Sydney

Wodonga is approx 6hrs by road from here, from Albury airport its 75mins, and on Thurs morning David went to Sydney with work for an NPD training course.  The conference centre was located at Woolwich on the Paramata River looking down to the harbour bridge, opera house and the CBD.  Luckily he took his camera and although the day was overcast the pictures are good.....David says Sydney is absolutely stunning.

What a busy week we have had here, along with the everyday things that happen there has been sewing, Lego making, card making, school, kinder, trips to friends, and friends visiting here, park trips, shopping,  girl guides, appointments, keyboard practise, work - so not a lot of time for taking (interesting) pictures to put in here - although I wish I'd taken the camera to the park as it was a lovely morning spent there.  

We did manage to take just a few though here's George with some Lego in the making, Star Wars is his favourite he loves it..







Matilda is 4 weeks old on the above pics chilling out with me in the garden last week She turned 5 weeks this week, who can believe that! I took her to her 4 week check she weighed in at a whopping 8lb 10oz - shes filling out well, but shes grown out of her newborn sleep suits & you can feel the extra weight especially when I'm carrying her around! I'm using the pushchair for the school run pick ups, and George quite likes sitting on the front just like Grace did giving out directions as we go along.





Big hugs and xxxs from big brother, George is enjoying his time spent with Matilda they stick their tongues out at each other..




Some sewing - the teapot cover I made earlier this year, with the little bird on the top made by Grace I thought about doing them in wild colours, would they make good gifts for the teachers at the end of the year? And I was able to return to my dressmaking class this week (Matilda sleeps so well all through the class!) I started with something very easy, some small booties for Matilda, although incredibly fiddly as they are so small. 


We have a full car now!







Some funny faces from Matilda during wash time....


An interesting dragon fly in the garden










Today's pictures of Matilda and Grace making an appearance too....
