In Newcastle today it is the first day for our grand-child Aqualina to start ' big school '. Was she ever excited. I had the privilege of being there to see her go off to her classroom and meet her teacher and chat to Dana and Jason. Dana got to be there (she is a school teacher too at another school close by) and seeing as it was her last child attending school her Principal gave her the time off. Aqualina looked gorgeous. Jasana came up to me and we had a photo together. Ryke had already gone off to his classroom. The elder two started last Wednesday. Aqualina went along on Friday to find out what class she was going to just for an hour. She is a very bright little girl, I think it's because she is the third child!!!!! Thanks for looking at our little darling. Love Chris

1. Ryke and Jasana kissing Aqualina all dressed up in her School uniform.
2. Aqualina walking up the footpath to school. Notice she has a bun in her hair. It's because on Monday afternoons she has dance class!
3. Me with the Jasana and Aqualina.

It was so cute seeing all the little girls in their school uniforms - mostly half way down their calves!!!! Some of them were so little!

Chris how lucky that you were able to go to the start of full time school for Aqualina. A huge milestone in life and one that the majority of us remember well. Twm started in Jan full time and loves it

Thanks Karen, it was great to be there. I collect the children every Tuesday afternoon from school. Only thing is - for the first 3 weeks Aqualina gets out 1/2 an hour earlier. So I have to be at school at 2.30 today and wait till Ryke and Jasana get out at 3.00. Love Chris

Hi Laura, it was great. Dana is feeling it more as she is working as a full time school teacher this year and won't get to see Aqualina's milestones. Dana's Principal will of course let her attend certain big things, but Jason can always come and me too. Love Chris They certainly are growing up too fast. Love Chris
