Kid's Mail Swap

Whenever we check the mail Marissa always wants to know if there is anything for her. I stumbled upon pigeon pair and it's Kid's Mail Swap. I thought, what a great idea. Marissa is so excited. On the weekend we started the letters, we have also put together a few pictures and added some Kiwiana stickers for good measure. Our letters are going to Australia and Canada, of all places! Another little girl from one of the "Prairie Provinces" will be receiving a letter soon.

Here is Marissa working on some pictures to send to her Mail Swap friends.

Hippity Hoppity, Easter's on it's way... and chicken pox?!?

The end of Term 1 at school is fast approaching. Marissa will finish school on April 9th, Easter Weekend. It seems strange to have Easter in autumn instead of spring. Although the weather is still fantastic, no complaints here. Bring on the chocolate bunnies and coloured eggs!

Well, this past week felt like a very long week. Marissa was ill with projectile vomit and I was lucky enough to be the recipient. Graeson now has the chicken pox, poor wee boy. I guess it is better for him to have it now though, he is too little to scratch. Update on my wrist situation, I have now been told that they do not think it is tendonitis but torn cartilage. Basically a wait and see approach to see if it heals itself, if not then off to see a surgeon.

Littleman...

Just a quick update for the folks back home. Graeson is getting bigger and bigger! So big in fact that I now have tendonitis in my left wrist. OUCH! Oh, well he's worth it.

Grae is rolling around like a Lil' rock n' rolla, he is all over the place. He is also able to shuffle himself backwards around the floor and sit up for short amounts of time. BUT, the best of all is he is saying "Mummmmm, Mummmmm, Mummmmm"!!!! That's my boy!

Super Stylish Girl

Although this is a bit late, I thought that I would share Marissa's new look with everyone.

She decided that she wanted her hair cut, not just cut but cut SHORT!!! I was a bit nervous that she would be upset with the result since she has always said "I love my long hair, I never want it short."




I worried for nothing, she LOVES her new hair. When I asked her what she thought of her new hair she said. "I look like a Super Stylish Girl!" I then asked her what she thought everyone would think of her new haircut, "They won't believe my new look!"
