Rosie is happily home for the holidays after a full year of school (albeit with lots of homeschooling days, as is our bent). Its a lovely thought to know that she'll be around all day everyday for imaginative play, reading, adventures and whatever-takes-our-fancy.
Bethany is now talking more too, after a couple of months of that frustration that comes from not being understood. I'm sure she must have been telling us detailed stories and asking complex questions, and yet we were oblivious.
A new side of this little girl is now emerging, to the joy of everyone.
And so, with friends and family in tow, we journey to Melbourne tomorrow for Christmas festivities and begin to think about the new year.
Wishing you connection, creativity and joy over this holiday season.

Nana needed her nails done too! |
Miss Rosie has actually become a lot better at applying nailpolish |
Miss Bethany deep in play by herself - so lovely to see |
Nana and Pop bought this 'paint by numbers' for Rosie for her birthday - but I think they like it more than she does... |
