Addi's birthday was relatively subdued, as a planned morning tea at a local cafe had to be cancelled as Dad was a touch crook; but Addi obviously didn't know any better and enjoyed her special day with all of her new toys. Yep, we feel a bit bad that we didn't have a huge party, but with everything going on right now, (Addi sick, Dad sick, Mum sick, Mum starting back at work, Addi starting childcare, the continual oppressive heat, the continued financial worries as we have to find another $440 a fortnight for childcare) we honestly just did not have the energy. It's almost as though we're corralling the wagons, trying to deal with the issues at the forefront of our life without opening ourselves up to more stress (like spending an entire week deciding on a theme, distributing invites, tracking RSVPs, cooking, cooking, cooking, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning)...
But I digress... Her little grin is as cute as ever, especially now she has a little tooth poking out from her lower gum! It hasn't given her any grief, but just wait till the molars start coming through!
Linc's birthday falls on his first week back at school, so when we asked him what he wanted to do, he chose to have dinner at the local club! And that's what we did tonight, and it was very pleasant (especially being in the cool of the air-conditioning as Canberra experiences a pretty bad heatwave - 39deg today!)...
