ROB AND ALIZA
Rob is working hard at HGL and learning new things every day. He is primarily working on learning about programming (C++) and how to trouble shoot problems (bugs) in the system. He enjoys his co-workers here and the opportunities he has to learn.
I am still trying to find my niche here.
I will be attending some mum’s groups this week and hope to do some volunteering at Madison’s school in September (I will be helping students with their reading). It seems that many groups and clubs are winding down for term and will resume in the fall. I have decided to join the local book club that meets the last Tuesday of the month at the local book shop. For now, I am taking it one step at a time.
As a family, we are enjoying trying to guess who Lillian looks like the most.
What do you think?
This past weekend we enjoyed leisurely hanging around our flat and spending time together as a family play games and visiting together. We plan to take some weekend excursions in the near future.
MADISON
Madison is enjoying school (just two more weeks before summer holiday) and Rainbows (which ends this week for the holiday and will resume in September). She is well known at the library and is excited to complete the summer reading program. (Madison will have to read 6 books all on her own over the summer holiday and be able to retell what she has read).
Madison is beginning to make a few friends and has enjoyed several play afternoons with Jim and Emma’s daughter Bethan. Hopefully with the summer holiday we will be able to spend some more time at the park getting to know the children in the area.
Madison and Rob have enjoyed their Maddie/Daddy times to play Blokus and to make paper airplanes and origami. It is wonderful to watch them learning and playing together.
LILLIAN
Lillian is Lillian.
She is enjoying her new book, The Squishy Turtle (thanks Aunt Beffie) and is starting to grasp small toys. She still loves to have her blanket with her when she sleeps and has quite an arm grip around it if she does not want to give it up.
She is a happy baby, who is full of smiles.
