South Stradie

The day after Gracie's birthday we decided to take Pop's boat over to South Stradie. Charlotte had such a great time and the weather was amazing. I think we will be visiting again soon.

Charlotte loves it when the boat goes fast and gets a bit cranky when we have to slow down. Speed demon!

Gracie's birthday

We went to cousin Gracie's 4th birthday party a couple of weeks ago. Charlotte was so excited all week about the party. Once we got there, we barely saw her. Needless to say, she slept well that night.

Gracie wanted to share her ice cream cake with Liv, who happily obliged.

Then there were three kids wanting to 'feed the baby'. Liv loved it!

Charlotte likes to pull faces for the camera now. This is her 'surprised' face.

Happy face

Grumpy face.

Love, love, love!

This is Charlotte getting ready for our date. I ditched Liv (which I rarely do) and we went to the movies to see the Smurfs. She got a little bit scared and at one stage, ended up on my lap but seemed to enjoy it in the end.

Play and rest

Charlotte and Frenzal have formed a very special bond over the last year or so. We often wake up in the morning to find that Frenzal has made his way into Charlotte's bed at some stage during the night. Some nights, Charlotte even asks if Frenzal can stay in her room with her. It is so sweet. Better there than in our bed!

If Liv wakes up early some mornings, I just pull her into bed with us and she will often go back to sleep. Which means we can end up with four in the bed, if Charlotte has also decided to wonder into our room early in the morning. But we do love it ...

All that rest means Liv has lots of energy to play.
