Xmas - New Year update



We've been to Sydney twice since my last post, the first to visit my Dad, and more recently, for a family holiday on Dangar Is on the Hawkesbury River. During this recent trip, we threw a 60th birthday party for Dad at a restaurant in Woy Woy. The family photo is of Bob with all his girls.

Zoe was variously over and underwhelmed by the Christmas Day festivities. It was generally too noisy and busy for her. The only festive type photo I have is this one of her chewing the [wrapped] candy cane attached to one of her presents. You can see her present from Santa and our baby proof Christmas tree in the background.

The last photo is of our mosquito bitten bubba coming home from holiday. We had a lovely time, although the babies really need to be older to enjoy this type of river-beach holiday. A vomiting bug also took Zoe, Ewan, myself, Ella and Myia a few days to recover from, which dampened things a little. As my sister has dryly noted, breastfeeding doesn't seem to be provide as much protection from sickness as it is purported to, although in my defence, it was probably easier to keep my Zoe hydrated than if she was bottle fed.
