We took Saturday and Sunday to visit the Taronga Zoo. Stayed overnite at Chatswood and also caught up with a couple of friends. We ate "Non-Wollongong" yummy food and enjoyed the exhausting and fulfilling experience. We even snuck to the new huge IKEA at the Olympic park for a sticky beak! We should holiday as a family more often....after I recover, maybe?

Good chance for us to explain the difference to our dear Letitia. Boy! Were they lazy and comfortable!

Our Zoo experience was great! The girls both had a lovely time but was exhausted. We managed to keep the zoo visit under covers till an hour before arriving and it STILL was "too long a car-ride!".
We had one dissapointment of not finding Letitia's "in-kid-na" (Echidna: a porcupine looking animal) but most of the grounds available were covered (we have the sore muscles to prove). As adults, we were happy to see the animals all healthy and happy. It'll be a while till we next go .... so, we feel real blessed!

Holidays

Thank Goodness for holidays. I am sure that the breaks are designed as much for the moms as they are for the kids. All that hustle and bustle...it's amazing how time just slips by and we all get caught up with doing the everyday things.

Alex is still at Nortel though we've been told that his clock is ticking....

We are enjoying what we have with the kids at every single moment. Letitia is happy to be home and I am happy to be not running around like a headless-chook. We are having holiday activities as much as the weather can allow us and Mathena is also happy to have more of her "cheh-cheh". Little M is doing leaps and bounds (literally) in Gymbaroo and loves the music. She is developing so quickly and communicates so well we often give in to her....just for the sole reason that she tries so hard!! We hope to get to the zoo by the weekend of the 23-24th April. Will be nice!

Till then, continue to think and pray for us!
