Dad has just returned from a week up north, hence no posts recently. In the mean time, here is a photo of the girls' cousins (to date).

Another Weekend
Yesterday Dad was just a little bit 'tired' so the girls spent a big afternoon playing in the park with Pa. Their grandfather was impressed with the way that Courtney takes care of her little sister when there are bigger kids around.
This morning started with a serve of pancakes and then we headed to the beach until Mum reminded us that it was the middle of the day and that being in the sun was not the smartest thing. Instead we went to Joondalup Arena.
The girls had a great time although we forgot their goggles so there wasn't too much swimming getting done. Brooke went down the slide and around the whirlpool but she wasn't as keen as Courtney to have a second go.
For the first time ever, Dad was told that he was not allowed to take photographs of the girls. One of the staff members told Dad that it contravened the privacy laws. For those of you interested, there are no such laws and there will continue to be photos of the girls... until such time as vanity and self awareness becomes an issue and Dad gets shut down by the girls themselves.

The dentist and the goldfish
Firstly, the biggest news of the day. Courtney is missing one of her front teeth and the other one is loose. All thanks to Jasper (Issac's little brother), trying to "help" Courtney by jamming a recorder (as in musical instrument) into her mouth.
As a result Courtney, Mum and Brooke have spent the afternoon at the dentist having one of the teeth pulled out. The other one will come out in its own time.
CJ is feeling a little sore and sorry for herself, her mouth is still a little numb from the anestetic and she'll have a fat lip for a couple more days.
For the record. Mum was the first person ever to make fun of CJ's lisp... it's so cute.
Now for the fish. CJ's tank has three fish. Goldy, Patches and Skinny Fish have all made themselves at home and seem happy enough.

Family
Today the girls caught up with their cousins. We all went to Wildkidz so the kids could run amok while the adults tried to have a cup of coffee. The girls (and boys) had a great day.
Courtney started vacation swimming today as well. She is very concerned that she will have to repeat levels that she has already achieved during her normal swimming class. Today was her assessment session... Obviously she was very tired after playing with Brooke and the boys. Time will tell.

Happy New Year.
The girls are both very tired today after a big New Years celebration at Issac's house. Courtney managed to see the new year in but Brooke thought better off it and fell asleep. Happy New Year everyone, who knows what 2007 will bring for the Crane girls.
