North Fitzroy Church

Auntie Margaret does a fantastic job of creative crafts for SS.

Vetuta and Claudia cook delicious soup each week for pot luck:)

SS room.

The kids love the run out side after church.

Theater

This is a big shopping center and theater in downtown Melbourne. It's pretty amazing how they built a building around an old building!

Last Day of Gym

Rosie had her last day of gymnastics last week. The boys were out of school, so they had a chance to enjoy the gym, too.

Sam is a great hula hooper:)

Diving into the pit.

What could be better than pizza at the park with our friend Elly?!

Little Friends

This is Rosie's little friend Anton. They were both looking especially grubby and cute that day.

Rosie gets all the credit for putting this outfit together:)

Thanks for all the fun plays, Anton:)

Our Favorite Tree

This is a tree loving family. There is one huge and beautiful tree that the kids love to climb in the zoo. We always have to stop for a quick climb!

Dryer

Mom wondered why I hadn't posted for a week and asked if life was "dull". Life is never dull with 3 children and the laundry never ceases! It has been rainy most of the week and that means the clean wet clothes pile up. I finally went to the laundry mat and dug my way out of the mountain. 3 cheers for the modern convenience of the dryer! Hip, hip, hooray!

A Jolly Good Fellow

It was all about Sam last week! Sam turned 8. Wow! Where did the time go? Nothing says birthday like a balloon chandelier.

The V.I.P!

Sam invited 3 friends over for a little celebration. We walked to the local pizza joint (2 adults + 6 rambunctious kids), ate pizza, got quite a few looks-like I can't believe you guys have that many kids, and walked back home for cake and a movie.

Thanks Kai, Jordan, and Callum for helping Sam have such a nice birthday celebration!
