AUSTRALIA DAY

Australia Day 2008 was all about the water.

We started the day off at Jessica's place (she's Mum's cousin) to celebrate her 30th birthday. Thanks for having us, Jessica. The spa was a great idea for a hot day and I had so much fun playing with Connor.
Then from Jessica's we headed out to Gran and Pops' place for all the fun and games of Australia Day in South Perth. I had the best afternoon playing in the apartment and then Pop Mark took me for a swim in the pool - 2 swims in one day, sounds like heaven to me!Mummy says I look like an angel in these pictures. I decided to indulge her and keep the headband on long enough for her to catch a couple of happy snaps - she really does try very hard even if she is a little annoying sometimes!And this last picture was taken while I was sleeping (yes, I slept through the entire Skyshow). Daddy is pretty talented with the camera too.Happy belated Australia Day everyone - what a great country this is!

Love,
Hannah

PERTH ZOO - THE SECOND TIME AROUND

Post, post, post. I have to admit that this has been a pretty busy month for me. I've had people to catch up with and things to do, new toys to play with and masterpieces to create. But one of my favourite January days was our trip to the zoo. Mummy, Nana, Grandad, Uncle Dean, Great Aunty Raye and Jaimee came with me and I had the best time.

I saw lots and lots of animals - I think the penguins were my favourite although the rhinos caught my eye for quite a while too. Mummy now fancies herself as a bit of a wildlife photographer - don't say anything to her, but I think she had better just stick to the teaching... I can't wait til our next visit because Mum says I can have a go on the Merry-go-round, bring it on!

Catch you all soon,
Hannah.
