Moving house during school holidays seemed like a good idea but it was hard getting stuff done with 4 kids home! Luckily the new house has a pool as it gave the kids something to do. Clinton had to work all through January and the thought of unpacking and sorting through his shed was daunting. Papa offered to fly over and help for a couple of weeks at the end of January. We were so grateful! The kids had a great time playing with Papa - Zara instantly warmed to him, I think she must have remembered him cuddling her through the night as a new born.
Zara got into the habit of following Papa around and tugging on his pants to get him to pick her up. She would put out her hand and signal for Papa to give her food and drinks. She loved having her own personal slave! They were very cute together.
Papa happened to be staying with us on Australia Day and we were able to take the boat out (thank goodness, Papa doesn't have great luck when it comes to our boat! It's either shocking weather or the boat breaks down). We enjoyed a lovely morning at Marney Bay.
Papa is very patient with the kids, he stood in the water for ages as the kids jumped to him from the boat.
I love this photo of Harrison jumping into the water!
We bought this cute fold up high chair from K-Mart, I wish we'd had one of these with the other kids. Great for toddlers who are crawling and getting sand all through their food.
Zara really likes the water and having swims with Mum
