Ashes and Airports

Hi Everyone, its Alastair here again today.

There's been a slight delay in getting this blog post done as we couldn't get on to the website for some reason. Anyway, all seems sorted now, thank goodness, cause there's so much to tell you.

Firstly.... WE WENT TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE ASHES!!!!!! So exciting. It was all very last minute, we didn't even try to buy tickets until the morning of the game but we got great seats at the Gabba. I was supporting Australia. It was good but very different to the cricket I am used to which is the BIG BASH! Its sooooo much slower and they don't play in the rain too!



Mum and Gracie went to Townsville this weekend to see Susan and Family. That just left the boys at home to fend for themselves. On Saturday Dad, Ewie and I all went for a short run to get the paper with Caley-dog. Ewan was in the pram and he loved it. I did a bit of the pushing, which was better than having to run with Caley as she is just trouble when she is on the lead.




The most exciting part of the weekend for Ewan was going to the aiport to pick up Mum and Gracie. He loved seeing all the planes but he was most excited about seeing the air-train which takes people to and from the airport. He loves his trains!

Finally, when Mum and Gracie got home after their weekend away we decided to put up the Christmas tree. Some might say its a little early but its December so that's good enough for me.


Bye for now everyone.

Alastair

Hi Everyone, Its all of us this time, Ally, Gracie and Ewan. Bonus!!!!!!!! We have all had such a big week that it takes all 3 of us to tell you about it. Alastair is going to start... This week I had my school music concert. I sang in the choir and I played a couple of songs as part of the senior strings group. I play the cello. Mum and Dad were so impressed with the cello playing - they said it was such a huge improvement on last year and sounded really good. Gracie is up next...... Hi All, I had my end of year dancing show this weekend. It was a huge day. I had to do 2 performances, one at lunchtime and one in the evening. I did 2 dances at each show, 1 jazz and 1 ballet. I dont have any pics of the show (we weren't allowed to take them during the show) but Dad did take one of me with my make up on. Alastair, Ewan, Daddy, Mum and mums cousin Anne all came to watch my concert. Hi Its Ewie here now. On Friday I went with daddy to get some more food for o

Holidays are here

Granny, Jonny and Lisa arrived from the UK on Thursday and on Friday we all headed to North Stradbroke Island for a few days. Here are some pics of me swimming in the Broon Loch (Brown Lake) with daddy, dancing with uncle Jonny, screwing up my face at dodgy breakfast and emerging James Bond style from the ocean. Granny is going to be looking after me all next week while mummy and daddy are at work and Jonny and Lisa are off to Sydney for a few nights. Lots more fun planned before they all head off next wednesday.

Little Athletics

Hi All, There's a thing in Australia called Little Athletics. Its been around for years and years, in fact so long that even Mum used to take part in Little A's and she's ancient! Anyway, Gracie and I go to Mt Gravatt Little A's every Saturday. We get to take part in all sorts of athletics events such running, hurdles, shot putt, discuss, triple jump etc etc. As you get older you get to do more events. Gracie currently doesn't get to do triple jump or any running races further than 200m. When he is older Ewan will get to join too but the youngest group is under 6's. He has a while to wait. Anyway, last night we weren't at the usual sports field but were at the Queensland Athletics Stadium. It was only the warm up track but was pretty cool anyway. Ewan actually came with us and had a little go at long jump and running round the newly laid blue track. He loved it. It was very windy so pretty cold but he didnt seem to mind and soon had his socks
