STORY TIME: Josh's 30th Birthday
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2012/11/joshs-30th-birthday.html
The little stories that make up my life. Sunday, 4 November 2012. Our Josh is growing up. He celebrated his 30th birthday this year. Maya made him a "Candy Card." She chose the candy and message herself. It says: You may be a nerd, but I still think that you should be in New York on Broadway. Hugs and Kisses, Maya. Our house is kind of a shrine for Australia, but I guess that's okay - we do love our Aus! Josh was a gambler and bootlegger and he won the Oscar for best performance. Maya and Kate didn't hav...

STORY TIME: January 2012
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The little stories that make up my life. Sunday, 22 January 2012. Maya made these little pillows for her dolls Josefina and Felicity for their Christmas presents. I think the dolls are very happy with them. Maya has been learning a few things on the sewing machine - it's great to see her developing that new skill. Maya got an electronic massager for Josh. Sadly this photo shows the only massage she has given him with it so far. She got a pedicure set for me and gave me a relaxing pedicure last week.

STORY TIME: Cupcake Decorator
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2012/11/cupcake-decorator.html
The little stories that make up my life. Sunday, 4 November 2012. Maya recently became very interested in decorating cupcakes. She watched several You Tube videos on cute cupcake ideas and has a list of them she wants to make for different events throughout the year. She could use some better decorating equipment, but these sunflower cupcakes are the first design she made. 4 November 2012 at 10:01 pm. Those cupcakes are very cute! 5 November 2012 at 11:56 am. 5 November 2012 at 3:02 pm.

STORY TIME: Halloween
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2012/11/halloween.html
The little stories that make up my life. Sunday, 4 November 2012. Maya, dressed as Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean, went trick-or-treating with Luke (AKA Harry Potter) and Annabelle (AKA Hermione) this year. They had a lot of fun together and thought it was extra exciting that Maya got to be in charge for part of the time and they could go without an adult. The funny thing is she doesn't like a lot of the candy and she wants to be healthier so she's only eaten a very small amount of her sta...

The little stories that make up my life. Sunday, 4 November 2012. We had the pleasure of Mum and Dad's company for dinner on Mum's 64th birthday. Isn't she beautiful? I am very blessed to have such a wonderful mother who is willing to do anything for anyone. I love you, Mum! Mum looks great, and she is wonderful, too. Im glad you were able to celebrate with them. 4 November 2012 at 10:02 pm. Grandma does look very pretty. That is fun that you got to make her day even more special. Beautiful inside and out.

STORY TIME: February 2012
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The little stories that make up my life. Wednesday, 8 February 2012. Maya generally does not like the idea of getting older because Josh keeps telling her the new jobs she'll have to do each time she turns a year older. Despite that, she was really excited for her birthday this year. As usual, she was super excited to get some new American Girl outfits. Thanks Grandma Maureen and Poppy! Kate and her very generous mother (and brother and sister) gave Maya a ticket to see the musical Wicked. Maya and Kate ...

STORY TIME: May 2011
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
The little stories that make up my life. Monday, 30 May 2011. Maya got braces a week ago. I think she looks adorable with them. She is still adjusting to getting her lips around the new mouthful she has but she is doing a great job taking care of her teeth with them on. Maya put a post on her blog about getting braces. She would love to see your comments there. Links to this post. Monday, 9 May 2011. Michael and Whitnie's New Dog. Michael taught him to shake on the first day they got him. We did come acr...

STORY TIME: First Day of 6th Grade
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2012/08/first-day-of-6th-grade.html
The little stories that make up my life. Wednesday, 22 August 2012. First Day of 6th Grade. Maya started school this week. She is going to a charter school (a school that is publicly funded but privately run) that includes grades kindergarten through 9th. Grades 6 to 9 make up the junior high part of the school which is in a different hall from the elementary part of the school and has a different lunch schedule, so they don't mix with the younger kids. So glad it is going well. 22 August 2012 at 1:49 pm.

STORY TIME: November 2012
http://storytellingmum.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The little stories that make up my life. Sunday, 25 November 2012. We had a really good snowfall two weeks ago. It was the second snow of the season but was the first powdery, heavy fall so it was perfect to play in. Maya claims we've never built a snowman before (even though I'm sure we have at some point in her life) so we built this guy. We didn't make arms for him, but he's still pretty cute. I love this picture of Lucy skidding and sending snow spraying as she rounded the corner. Links to this post.
