Nicholas turned 13, went to Jindabyne for school camp and got braces – a few milestones for him. For his birthday party he had a gaming sleepover and watched The Meg. High school seems to suit him. His elective this term is cooking, and he recently cooked us dinner for one of his assignments. He made chicken quesadillas and quiche which even Catherine ate up. We’ve even received some yummy treats occasionally. He continues to be a great big brother and has picked up Catherine from school a couple of times.

Catherine turned 9, performed her first street dance, set up a lemonade and orange juice stand and took the bus home (with Nicholas) from school for the first time. Her confidence has grown a lot this past year and she’s been interested to try and do new things. We didn’t think she would sell any drinks from her stand. I was afraid she would fail but she proved me wrong and sold out in half an hour. We were all so proud of her and her infectious enthusiasm. For her birthday party she had a pyjama party with make-up, nails, laser challenge and movie, White Fang.
In other news, Phil went on a few work trips, mostly interstate but his work trip to Italy was a highlight. It was cool to easily communicate with him while he was so far away, although the kids and I felt like it was the longest week ever. Phil was lucky to get a bit of sightseeing in. He explored Milan, Bergamo, Lake Como and Turin. He came back just in time to celebrate his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary – pretty much straight from the airport.
