Computer Games

Emily loves playing games on the computer. Watch how much fun they are having playing Pingu!



Here is a picture from the same:

Australian Open - Day 7

I went to the Australian Open on Sunday (Day 7). We got ground passes and watched several of the matches outside. Here's a picture with some of the Melbourne skyline in the background:


(The match is the Bryan brothers playing their 3rd round match)

Learning the Alphabet

We started practicing the Alphabet with Emily again:



At the end of the song, I love how Ethan claps for his sister!

Emily Painting Fireworks

Last Thursday, Emily painted this picture:


I asked her what she drew, and she said "fireworks".

Looks good to me!

Ethan's Turkey Dance

Sue's father bought a singing & dancing Christmas turkey for the kids last year. It's crazy how much they love this thing. Emily and Ethan both love singing and dancing with it:



I started singing Jingle Bells to Emily a couple times, and she always tells me "that's turkey song!".

Sarah's First Day of Work

Last month, Sarah had a work trial day at our dentist's office. She's too young to start officially, but she seems to have lined up a job for later this year. Here's a picture of her before her first day:


She'll work a few days this week, too, while on school holidays.

Lots of Pictures

I'm trying to catch up on loading all of my pictures to Flickr before I start posting again.

Emily's Artwork

Here Emily is showing off some of her artwork that she made last month:

Werribee Zoo - Rhythm of Africa

This Sunday, we took the family to the Werribee Open Range Zoo and met some friends for the Rhythm of Africa night there. We had a great time, and we'll surely go back again. It was especially nice since we were able to go without charge as part of our Friends of the Zoo membership.

Some of my favorite pictures are below, but you can see the whole set here.

New Year's Resolution

This year, part of my New Year's resolution is to create a family weblog and keep it updated regularly.

This one's for you, Mom! :-)
