Photos from Dinner Plain

Dear Gran,

how far behind we've gotten with this! We're now recovered from all the lurgies we've had. To begin the catching up, here are some photos from the Dinner Plain trip.

Firstly, the skiing: we only had one day of it, and as you can see in the photo above there was only a shallow cover. Ruth slept contentedly in the backpack for most of the time, but woke up to play at lunchtime.


Lunchtime after a walk. You can (kind of) see the snow on hotham in the background.


More lunchtimes--- this time out on the deck at the lodge.

Mum and Ruth.


Ruth touches her first lizard, which runs away.

I will add some photos from the Melbourne trip later on.

We saw Joan and Alan on the weekend--- they were in good form. I think we'll go and visit them in Goulburn (how do you spell that?) on the weekend.

Much love to you,

Julie.

Cousins

Dear Great Gran,

Julie's cousin Karen visited recently, with husband Dave and 10 month old Zac.
Here you can compare the relative hairiness of cousins Zac, Ruth and Jack.

Zac and Jack are pretty fast quadrapeds as is another of Ruth's cousins, Momo.

I feel I need to explain that Ruth only gapes like a stunned mullet when the camera comes out. OK, perhaps not only when the camera comes out - but it is certainly very hard to take a photo of her wearing any another expression! To illustrate the point, here Ruth is with Joseph, the other cousin she has been spending time with lately.

much love,
Brendan

Hats Off

Dear Great Gran,

Julie has taken to sitting Ruth inside the Laundry basket.

And what does Ruth like to play with and eat when she is in the basket?

much love,
Brendan
