January birthdays

Dear Matthew, Toby and Josie

Being January, it was that time of year to celebrate Ma Ma and my birthdays. And being January, there was still plenty of Christmas ham around in the shops, so we took full advantage and had a lovely dinner of ham and salads, followed by a yummy chocolate cake that your aunty Robyn made (and that you especially enjoyed Josie - see the photos below!). 

We are so very lucky to have your Ma Ma, she has been your second mum since the day you were all born, and I know you all bring her a lot of joy. Matt, when you were a toddler, I specifically remember when Ma Ma and Gumps went to Singapore one time (back when we were allowed to leave the country) and when she arrived back home, after not seeing you for two weeks, we met her on the driveway in her car and she just cuddled you for like half an hour straight. I eventually had to leave to go somewhere and just left you both cuddling! Anyway she is truly a gift and we would be lost without her, so it was great to celebrate her tonight. 

Love you all,

Coronavirus vaccine, a zoo trip and catch up with friends

Dear Matthew, Toby and Josie,

Just a few little things to report this month. 

Firstly Matt you got your coronavirus vaccine! So grateful that this got approved before school went back so that you could at least get part coverage while back in the classroom. The virus had started to spread a bit now so it was great to tick this off. Your dad took you and you did mostly fine but his account - well done! 

Secondly we went to the zoo for one of their late night openings and Josie you seemed to be ecstatic about this judging by your reaction in the gorgeous photos below! You absolutely love animals so any mention of the zoo and you're all for it. We are members now so hopefully we'll be able to get there quite a bit this year. 

Lastly we had a holiday catch up with our lovely friends and you got to play with all their kids - Will, Eddie, Olivia, Jorge and Leo. I love that our families are growing up together. You boys went off and played in the (very) muddy water and kept yourselves nicely entertained while us mums caught up. 

Love you all,
