Farewell Sir Howard Morrison

Died 24 September 2009
Farewell to a wonderful entertainer!

An afternoon's expedition

Thomas and I spent over an hour down on our walkway this afternoon - the weather was magical and even better Thomas wanted to take his bike.
Here are some cool photos of Thomas enjoying his bike ride. We started at the windwand and made our way 1 1/2km to the playground, had something to eat and a play, and wandered our way back. The weather was awesome and we had a lot of fun - and enjoyed a "kowhai" and "paraone" ice-cream on our way home!
See Uncle Greg I'm practising for when I see you again and we can go biking together!

New Raro top

Here is Thomas in his new Raro t-shirt that Aunty Jo and James got him. He is so chuffed as it is a size 10 - when did he start growing again, or is it that he hasn't stopped!

First visit to Frankley School

Yesterday my kindy teacher, Diny took me and some friends to our new school. We stayed for two hours and did some cool activities. We did some drawing, reading and computer work in the library, and we had morning tea and a play in the playground with all the school kids.
Check me out, I'm wearing my red jacket with my Ben10 t-shirt.
I also got to meet my new teacher, Mrs Johnstone.

Marble run - new creations

For xmas last year we bought Thomas a marble run that he can now make with his eyes closed. So to extend his thinking we bought another set and have added them together. Let's now see what he has created - Steve and I had a little helping hand in this, but it was Thomas guiding us all the way. It was his idea to start with six feet on the ground and it had to be taller than him!

Thomas loves Ben10

Here is Thomas with his new Ben10 t-shirt. He absolutely loves anything to do with Ben10, can't you tell from the smile on his face!

Holiday Activities

Over the past two weeks (our kindy holidays) we have had loads of fun playing with friends Barney and Ben, and we even managed a trip to the new Chipmunks activity centre with Thomas' friend Lucy. Thomas took a while to settle in, but then it took a lot of cajoling to get him out to the car with a promise we would come back!
