Fathers Day!

A stroll in the park

Fro-yo and doughnuts!

First doughnut experience a big success.

Unrelated to Fathers Day, but a highly recommended read.

I thought I'd do an update of Ethan's homeschooling so far. It's a little different to when he did it with Soph a few years ago -he now has a baby brother sqwarking in the background!- which can be both fun and annoying. However, all up, he has really enjoyed homeschooling this time around, especially the projects that he has done with his Dad outside. Here are some snaps of what he gets up to...

Making a "foundry".

It "melts stuff".

I.T - and his new raspberry pi.

His team soccer shirt

Hanging out with these two during recess and lunch -which usually involves the playstation

Making his own soccer goals for our yard.

And of course more time with Tim!

 A brief look at the day that was Hannah's 17th birthday....

A berry smoothie on the way to school.

Mexican afternoon tea with the girls.

Getting their nails done afterwards.

Home for presents!

Good friends to have birthday dinner with.

Can't rotate this photo -but it's number 17 in case you weren't sure.

A great big sister.

Happy 17th birthday Hans!! (Timmy in bed by now)
