In the middle of the school holidays, where time has less and less meaning. Lots to think back on from the first fortnight of 2023; a trip down to Wollongong to visit the cousins and enjoy na epic lunch spread.
Mum worked with cousin E on a calendar for 2023 as a Christmas present.
We had breakfast together at a new cafe, and even managed to walk the dog to the cafe together as a family.
We had ramen as a family one afternoon and caught up with some friends (not pictured).
Dad and Huff went to a church together so that Dad could preach, and Huff impressed everyone with her impromptu Bible reading skills.
We went out for nachos together afterwards to celebrate, which was a lot of fun (Dad ended up having the nachos and Huff had something a little simpler from the kids menu that she remains young enough to enjoy, at least for a little longer).
Continuing in the trend of bringing the kids along to work events while they’re on school holidays, Puff volunteered at a conference, working on the AV desk (and playing on his laptop in the in-between times).
He was making some leaps forward in his ability to create pixel-art, even making a diagram for one of the seminars!
Overall there have been lots of late nights and sleep-ins for the kids, the dog continues to take up large amounts of family time and enrich our lives, and we have watched quite a few movies at home on streaming services.
We also managed a lunch with our friends in the west of Sydney which turned into a dinner with our friends as well, and a farewell afternoon tea for some of Huff and Puff’s friends who are moving interstate for (at least) a couple of years.
And we’ve managed to see our newest cousin a couple of times.
