Happy 6th birthday Faithy Babe! xoxo

On Thursday this week our gorgeous little firstborn niece Faith Kathleen Heke turned 6 years old!!! She has the most gentle little soul & the kindest little heart & man oh man do we love that girl to pieces <3 <3 <3

We had such a cool day celebrating her birthday at her party yesterday. She chose pita pit & then icecream & lollies for her dessert & both were an awesome choice!

Dad's new name for Dallin is "little Faith" :) Very fitting seeing as she's Faithy babe's 6 year younger twin!

Pod & Stellar (her bestie from school)

The girl between Faith & Stellar in this pic is May-or-ha 

(I know I spelt that wrong, but that's how it sounds. She's Ella's bestie from daycare)

Dilly on her bouncer in the corner while everyone was having lunch

Ella with the dessert stash (the bananas were only a token gesture I think cause I don't think anyone had them lol? Bit of wishful Mommy thinking haha - why do we even waste our time Mell?!)

The birthday girl & her cool new bike & wearing her nice new purple hoodie from Grandie :)

We love you heaps & heaps Faithy babe! Hope this year is even cooler than your last 6 - only 2 more years to go until your baptism now! Where are the years disappearing too??!!

My precious Mac xxx

Mac came home with his first individual school pic just after school started back for Term 3. I don't remember him getting one taken last year so just for the record this is what my handsome boy looked like in Year 2. 

Also for the record is a copy of his school report that came home just this past Friday. He's doing pretty well considering he's one of the youngest in his year. The teachers said we could choose whether to put him up to year 2 or let him re-do year 1 again, but he's keeping up with where he should be for year 2 so that's awesome! 

And since I'm scanning school stuff, I may as well include his class pic from the start of the year. His teacher Mrs Lovegrove is really lovely & his bestie River (from last year as well) is on the very left hand side of the row Mac's on. It's such a great feeling knowing that my boy enjoys going to school each day. I love seeing him learn & grow :) He's obsessed with dinosaurs & animals - mostly the deadly kind! I really don't know if he'll ever read a fiction book though cause non-fiction is totally his thing!

A few funny things he's said lately.....

- When I asked Spence if he was was telling a lie a couple of weeks ago, Mac immediately jumped to his defence & said "no Mum, he's not lying, he's telling a myth." Haha, good one son!

- Oh & then another afternoon he came home from school asking me if I knew about hell & I said no, not really cause I'm really hoping not to go there & it's only somewhere you could go after you die & he said "no cause Mariska's dad's been there!!" lol....not sure quite what they were talking about school but interesting to know that Mariska's dad's been there haha
