Miss Joy found Daddy taking a nap!
I was reading aloud to the family one evening, and Miss Joy started bringing me books to read to her!
She informed Simon one evening that she was going to drive somewhere, so he asked her where her driver’s license was. She didn’t have one, so he gave her this business card. She got busy diligently signing it.
For Science, we made a model of a water molecule.
For a couple of days, the girls’ favorite activity was making soup, using flowers and leaves.
We bought a cockatiel for Nathan, since his budgie died. This little bird is named Jo-Jo. He’s still a baby, so he looked rather ragged when we got him. He’s looking better now, and getting slightly tamer.
The day before Christmas, we started working on the house. These are the before pictures of the sides we are redoing.
It didn’t take long to rip off the old weatherboards!
The flax bush in front of the house bloomed in December. We enjoyed watching the tuis come to drink the nectar.
When two or three tuis showed up at the same time, there were always raised feathers and arguing. It was pretty funny!
This is the view from our kitchen window. Actually, this WAS the view; all those pine trees at the left are gone now, and we can see the house behind them at the top of that hill.
