Our Zoe turned 6 last week! It's amazing how much that 4 lb 4 oz. little baby girl has grown and touched our lives. She continues to be our little angel and our constant reminder of love. We spent her birthday at Sea World to visit her favorite Sesame Street characters. Our lovely babysitter, Prue, went with us to help with the kids. (Mike was in the U.S. at the time.) I enjoyed going on all the kiddy rides at Sesame Street Beach with Zoe while Prue got to ride all the crazy rides with the boys. It started out with nice weather but by the afternoon, it got hazy. The haziness was due to the dust storm that blew through from Western Australia. It had hit Sydney pretty hard the night before. (You may have seen it on the news.) It wasn't as bad in the Brisbane area but it left a thin layer of dust on every surface outside. We were done and left the park around 3 pm. Zoe will get to enjoy her birthday gift in December when we go to see The Wiggles live! She's been watching the show regularly here and has learned a lot of their songs. Her brothers were great sports for her birthday, but declined to go to the concert with us in Dec.
The first week of their Spring Holiday went by quickly, as we kept busy. Besides the birthday celebration, I took the boys to see "G-Force" at the theatre, the boys had a few friends over to the house, the kids got to enjoy the pool at home, and they reacquainted themselves with all their toys and games. Of course, I didn't run out of things to unpack and organize around the house. By Saturday, we were packing up for the beach and anticipating Mike's return on Sunday morning.
