OUR BEAUTIFUL NOODLE........

Is turning 11 today, how exciting. With an early morning wake up call (don't worry Grandma Jenaya was already awake) the day had started. The birthday fairy had been, balloons and happy birthday signs every where and Moose had even stayed home to see his little Noodle. Off to school with her cup cakes tucked under her arm and a spring in her step, there was another couple of surprise for her, first a bright red Baby G watch - WOW (just what I wanted), then a very large HAPPY BIRTHDAY sign hanging in the condo's common area, made by some very special friends - what a day it is going to be.

Naya Noodle you are THE bestest daughter, sister, cousin, granddaughter, friend, mate, buddy, pal that any of us could ask for. Time has just flown by and you make everyday so much fun, you always make us so proud in all that you do. We Love you more than anything, even MUD. xxxxx

Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy Australia Day

This year Chinese new year and Australia day fell on the same day, so in honour of this Jenaya hit the kitchen to cook Chicken Dumplings. I know you probably don't think there would be any connection to Australia with Dumplings, but wait there is......She found the recipe in a the Donna Hay kids cookbook. For those of you who don't know Donna Hay - she is Australian and very handy in the kitchen. Anyway, Noodle hit the kitchen with gusto, we had fried dumplings, steamed dumplings and a noodle dish with steamed chicken balls and coriander. All extremely delicious. So to all Happy Australia Day and also Gong Xi Fa Cai, may the new year bring good fortune and prosperity.

Back To Reality With a

Thud, that's what has happened to Marty Moose.....Oh Boo Whoooooo. His first day back to work and he headed on up to Beijing. A very cold Beijing -1 actually hahahahaha. Leaving behind a balmy 30 degrees. Don't feel too bad for him he was only there for 2 days then back home for the weekend. Oh but then he left us again on Sunday night heading for Hong Kong this time, he calls it work, Me, I like to call it a junket. Anyway he is back with us again in a couple of days then next Sunday he is off again. The frequent flyer points are looking good. Well enough about him and some more about us. Jenaya and Kai still have another 2 weeks and 2 days until school starts again still so many thing to do, places to go, fun to have, money to spend, then it's back to reality for them, as for me I don't think I ever want to return so I might just stay exactly where I am.

One last thing, Grandma we hope you feel better soon, Club Moose is very worried about you, so please, please, please look after yourself - we love and miss you and Grandad lots xxxxx

MOOSE'S BIRTHDAY.......

Today is the Moose's birthday and we are all so very excited. With a early morning wake up call from all the Hewitt's singing that wonderful happy birthday song, to Jenaya and Kai's perfectly planned out day of FUN, FUN, FUN. Whether Marty thinks it's fun we will wait and see. To a beautiful Chicken Satay Stir Fry dinner - his choice and the usual ice cream birthday cake (homemade of course) it should be a hoot of a day. We can't wait to get started....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOOSE WE ALL LOVE YOU MORE THAN MUD....
