Michelle's Birthday

Due to prior arrangements, but following tradition, the family dinner was held on Wednesday, November 1st - a day early for the "official" birthday. But, well, what's one day in 30+ years! The only missing person was Glenn, who is working extra long hours just now (something to do with a mortgage or something).

Cooper is fed first - in part because he gets hungry at an earlier time, but it then means we can eat without needing to also feed Cooper. Or, at least, that's the theory. But since Cooper is a food vacuum...

Mel Cuisi welcomed by Peter, Jake and Flynn for Michelle's birthday at Illawong

Then the surprise visitor - Mel arrived to help us celebrate the big event.

Not a confrontation - Mel having fun with Flynn. Flynn had a "crash", and so Mel asked did Flynn want his trike thrown over the edge since it must be broken after the crash. Surprisingly, Flynn didn't want this!

Now that Cameron is back in Sydney, we see him again during the week! This week, cooking duty was in order. And it gave me a chance to ask some building related questions, a topic which is coming close to my heart!

Cooper's not watching the TV, but Michelle, Flynn and Jake certainly are.
