Lots has happened in the last few weeks; time for an update. Dad was around for these three weeks, but busy with different work commitments. We had time for a quick family selfie, which was a good change of pace!
We had a day in the city with Huff; it was good to spend some time together and create some memories.
Puff had his first week of work experience. He’s super tall, but this was an exceptionally large door. He had a great week, and it was helpful for his confidence and a sense of what he might want to do once he’s finished school.
We visited cousin T’s hockey finals: she had a good game. Slightly out of frame was Pippin, who had a fun car trip with the rest of us.
We also took cousin E out for her birthday.
We bought some different treats for her, and she enjoyed having some time with her cousins.
Then the next week was Puff’s birthday. Fifteen. He was keen for a game of putt-putt with the cousins, and he won!
Using the dais slightly differently, and everyone is (almost) the same height. It’s heartening to see them getting along and enjoying some time together. Putt-putt golf is the great equaliser, more or less.
The parents also enjoyed their game of putt-putt. We all had burgers for lunch together, and then we headed back to Sydney.
Puff was keen for boba from a particular place in Burwood. This is what it’s like when he takes a photo with Mum’s phone.
This is how Huff and Puff look with Puff at age 15.
And this is all of us on the way back to the car, and to head back home to the dog.
We also had cake for another cousin’s first birthday, and cake for uncle A’s birthday at Doc’s house. So much cake at the moment, but there are many things to be grateful for, and cake is a good way of celebrating.
