Fathers’ Day

Charles:

Happy Fathers’ Day to Dad and Grandpa from me, Christian and Dad

I thought I’d give everyone a ride on my bike, but Grandma and Gucci wouldn’t fit.

Check out my loader Grandpa!

Be afraid… be veeery afraid

Forty day blessing

Christian:

In the Greek Orthodox church it is customary for new born babies, that’s me, to go with their mothers for their first visit to the church forty days after their birth. Mum, Dad, me and Charles, plus Grandma and Grandpa went off to see Father Joel today.

Father Joel first said some prayers for me at the door

And then he took me and Mum up into the Sanctuary of the church, for a special blessing to welcome her back to the church and to give thanks for my safe arrival.

Naturally Charles didn’t want to miss out on the praying, so him and Dad had their own prayers outside! I think Dad was praying that Charles would sit still for just a minute

Name Day

Charles:

Today was my name day, so after church me and Mum ‘n Dad ‘n Christian, plus Yia Yia, Grandma ‘n Grandpa, Aunty Katie and cousin Niki went to Cornucopia Restaurant for a feed

Pretty good venue actually; nice view… can ya see me in the middle there?

After we ate Grandpa took me exploring… the restaurant’s at the museum so we found all sortsa good stuff. I thought I’d write my name for ya, but I could only find a “C”…

and an “L”; doesn’t give a bloke much ta work with

One-eyed :-)

Christian:

I’ve only been born one day and, according to Mum, I’m already a one-eyed Collingwood supporter

Charles reckons I should keep both eyes on the ball, ’cause Collingwood beat Adelaide Crows today and that’s Dad’s team… uh oh !

What do you think Charles, should we mention the footy?

Nah, we’ll tell him a joke… he’ll forget about it… ’til Mum rubs it in

Hmmm, Magpies 106, Crows 74; I think Dad’s done for… it’s three onto one Dad!!

Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to Mum, Grandma and Yia Yia XXOOXX

Me ‘n Dad ‘n Grandpa started building Mum a trellis for Mother’s Day, but we hit a few snags… well, irrigation pipes and cables actually, so we haven’t really finished yet

Boy… I like Christmas! I got up this morning and there was all kindsa stuff waiting… and we haven’t even got a chimney?! Yia Yia and Pa Pou gave me a cool bike so, when we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s for Christmas lunch, I took it and showed Grandma.

Grandma and Grandpa gave me a black wagon that ya walk behind; ya cart dirt an’ everything in it… even rocks ‘n stuff. I can’t show ya yet ’cause Grandpa’s gotta load me with my little excavator! I let Grandma keep the box but

Then we had lunch… yuuum!! ( If ya look real close at my face, you’ll see spots starting; I got another, unexpected, present for Christmas… measles… maybe! )

Oh…  everyone else had food too, not just me, see…

‘Course Grandpa had ta take the photos… and Dad had ta answer all my texts; I was busy

Then it was time for sweets… check out the blue tongue, heh, heh!

It’s not what ya think, all right… it’s paper; I love it, ask Mum!

I looked everywhere for Uncle Morgwn and Auntie Anniee, under the table…

So I gave up, gave Mum a cuddle, and went ta sleep… least Mum wished I would Merry Christmas everyone!!
