This weekend was the Fiji Day long weekend- and the annual PSFC Conference for uni students from all campuses. There were about 70 students and Tony spoke from 2 Timothy on Going for Gold. Good weather, good fellowship, good food, little sleep and lots of fun!

Last day of camp and Fiji Day celebrations.

As usual these holidays, Hannah had to fly back to Sydney for her dental appointment. She then flew back with Nanny, Grandad and Uncle Pete who treated us all to a week at a resort. It was the most beautiful weather all week, very relaxing...and most importantly, Tim slept like a champ! Here are a few snaps.

Tim loving the cold pool water...not!

Before saying goodbye.

A big thanks to Nanny and Grandad for a wonderful week!

The excitement level has been running high with this years Olympics. Fiji won its first EVER medal and it was GOLD!!! All thanks to the Fiji 7's rugby team and their coach Ben Ryan. People were crying and yelling in the streets, hugging each other, cars tooting, faces painted etc... and that was before they even landed back in Fiji for the street parade! It was really fun to be part of such a huge thing for Fiji -here are a few pics of all the action.

Waiting for the team to come past our house.

Buddy not sure what all the fuss is about.

Excitement building!

SO loud and fun.

They finally arrived yay!!

My birthday happened to be on the same day AND it was a public holiday -so double the fun!

Bit hard to study with such cute distractions!

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!
