We are me; Mummy, otherwise known as Michelle, Big chickpea; Daddy, otherwise known as Tristan, Medium chickpea; Rowan and Baby chickpea Reuben. This blog was started as I thought I was starting to loose track of all the amazing day to day things my children learn and how we grow as a family. It is also here to keep family and friends up to date with our adventure of moving our life from the UK to Australia.

The boys, so far....

This summer is really flying away.  Not so many photos taken as we are all just so busy at the moment.
I thought I would write a little catch up before putting on some more photos.

The last few months have seen the boys come on in leaps and bounds, Reuben has finished nursery.  We contemplated him going back in September for a month until we leave, but he made such good friends and they will have all gone on to school, that we though it would be best if he just stayed at home until he starts school in Aus.  He truly loved nursery though and as I have said, he made such good friends there, he really is a social animal and thrives in groups (especially if he can make people laugh!)

Rowan has been doing really well with his home school, he now reads anything and everything.  He especially loves reading books to Reuben.  He is doing the library reading challenge again this year and is getting through his books very quickly to get to the next stage in the challenge. 
We have been going swimming regularly over the last few months and since going to Clowance pool, where he can't touch the bottom, his swimming has improved loads and his confidence has also grown.  He now knows he can swim, and he loves it.  He would be swimming every day if he had the opportunity.  It's so nice to see him so confident in the water :)

The boys are looking forward to Australia,  they both have their different worries about it.  Rowan is concerned about how hot it will get and Reuben will miss everyone.  But we are making sure they express any worries and the general mood about it is positive.
