But T was already making plans............Now, what do we call the puppy? Lets start a list!
Then in the afternoon it was off to Uncle Adam's to pick him up (and play with the other puppies while they were there!)
"He's so tute Nan"..(translation: He's so cute Nan)!
50 plus from his Nan.
But the most important influence is from his dad.....
.........and he's right on track!
And just look at that face - she's in heaven!
It was a bit of a circus for a few minutes when we arrived home to find the puppy had come for a visit but.........
We soon worked out a system and the three girls got to hold the puppy for a time each.
He was very much love and cuddled and patted and smothered! And all things considered ie one tiny puppy v three very excited little girls, he held up very well. He was very gentle and well behaved and just tooooooo cute!
Eyes are still blue!
Six weeks old and bright eyed - he was really on high beam tonight! He has been a smiler since the day he was born, but we could only prise one from him tonight and of course it wasn't when the camera was ready. It wont be long before we capture one on film though, but who needs smiles when you've got eyes like this?
But before long he had finished his tucker and straight off to sleep again.
Don't you love it when they are sound asleep with hands thrown back like this?
T & R doing a bit of bird watching....
Anyway we are waiting patiently to see if anything appears, hope so!
Doesn't that just 'crack' you up!
Okay, so back to the business of preparing a slab!
And laying of orange plastic.......
And putting down great big grids of stuff...........
And standing on orange plastic so it doesn't blow away (in the gale force wind of the day) before it can be held down by great big grids of stuff!
Then there's the apprentices who were the only ones sensible enough to get out of the wind and direct from the ute windows!
Although some time was spent in the rough - lots of fun to be had on a building site and no toys necessary.
Needs a site manager - and that happens to be ME! Holding that coffee was jolly hard work - considering my back injury and all!!! Something Allan has yet to come to terms with! I am usually his go'fer! But today all I could go 'fer was my coffee!! Though, come to think of it, standing on that orange plastic took some doing!
A simple painting after breakfast.
Her concentration, remembering to clean the brush between colours.
And enjoyment of the simple things in life!
Every colour is her favourite...........
She especially likes that blue.
The Kencho's have been friends of ours for a looooooooooooong time too - we've been in Kylie's life as long as she has been alive! Allan is K's godfather, I'll see if I can find a photo of that event to post also.
Allan and Dave worked together in their teens in the now 'defunct' Bank of Adelaide (I think that's the one) it was never the same after those two were employed - that's another story or stories, and you need a long evening and a few beers to enjoy them!
Little cousins Rebecca and Rachel are both junior sporting champions with a list of credits and medals to their names already!!They too want to represent their country, and the duo are on the right track.
Both have been selected for the Victorian Under 14s girls indoor side, to compete in the state titles on the Central Coast in January.
Guy, 12, is a talented all-round sportsperson, having also represented Victoria as a race walker. She won a bronze medal at state level, before finishing 12th in the national championships held on August 24.
But her first love is hockey, and she is thrilled at the prospect of donning the navy blue of Victoria.
“It’s really exciting,” she said.
“I didn’t expect to make it, because the first week I was sick for the trials. The second week I just tried my hardest.”
A Berwick resident who prefers playing in defence for club side Casey, Guy is also in the midst of trials for the Under 12 Victorian Schoolgirls side.
She hopes one day to play for the Hockeyroos at the Olympics, which is a dream shared by Anderson. The Koo-wee-rup schoolgirl is also a defender, and plays her club hockey for Mornington.
WE HOPE SO TOO REBECCA!
Tucked inside the back door.
Who would scatter rose petals on the verandah?
Who would do a pretty chalk drawing on the cement?
Who would leave pink dancing shoes by the back door?
and well used buckets and spades in the courtyard - waiting for summer!
Leave Simba the lion sitting on the unmade bed?
Use craft box of "stuff" and a sticky tape dispenser in the corner of the kitchen for hours of fun cutting and pasting and drawing and making?!
Who would have fun with a teddy that's being transported around on the laundry trolly.
