So January has flown right by and with the end of the month comes the beginning of Isabelle's venture into Year One and the start of swimming and dancing again!
Her class load at dancing has increased, and we will see how she goes with the first week, and then asses whether freeing up an afternoon (or two) might help.
To say that she is excited to start Year One would be an understatement, this kid has such a thirst for knowledge and l.o.v.e.s to learn.

Hello 2012

Towards the end of last year I saw this photo (via instagram):

(via fatmumslim.com.au)

Now my photo a day attempts in the past have been a bit pitiful - but with a list of ideas to keep the interest sparked was a big factor to start. Also choosing to follow along strictly via my trusty iPhone and my beloved instagram I plunged right in, with my first photo being of me (obviously) - fresh out of the pool.

In this post, Chantelle spoke about other photo challenges for other months, and if they are anything like this month I will probably jump in again. It is also drawing me slowly back to blogging, so yay for this poor neglected blog!

 

Rain Clouds

While taking the dogs for a walk on Wednesday {and Issy was scooter-ing}, the sky started to look like this (love the sun shining through the clouds)

.
There were a few big fat raindrops falling about halfway through our walk, and we were too far from our house to make a run for it if the heavens decided to open up


Thankfully those few raindrops were all we got while walking.
Issy thought the clouds were following us.
She kept checking the sky, to find the bright blue spots not yet swallowed up by the rain clouds and also to check on the greyness of the sky.


On the home stretch she wanted to race the clouds.
We made it home dry, tired and thirsty.
The rain stayed away until we were all tucked up in bed and dreaming sweet dreams.


It stayed for netball training the next day though.

Saturday

Saturday started out cold, gloomy and a bit wet.... perfect weather for the start of the netball season!

Isabelle plays in the Under 7's team, so the rules are a little different (goes by the name Netta) but she had so much fun.

No photos to show of her in action, as I am her team's coach this year, which also includes umpiring half the game and providing a lot of directions to the players, not just in my team but the team we play against too.

There is not score sheet for Netta, it's about fun and learning the game but Isabelle was very proud that she scored the first goal for our team. She played Goal Attack (GA) for the first half.

I can't wait to see how they progress through the season
