《鄰居的聖誕卡》

Filed under: 生活速寫 — 萱言 @ 10:26 pm

過去的二個聖誕節,都有收鄰居的聖誕卡。今年有張卡最有內容,來自Chris &Malcolm夫婦,他們有位二歲半的女兒 Helena 以及幾個月大的小女兒 Catherine 。
那天他們帶著二位天使般美麗的女兒叩門,跟去年一樣,一袋別致的聖誕餅+一張聖誕卡+笑容。

有見如下——

2009 in brief …

Three become four. Catherine is a giggly, cuddly, vocal and entertaining addition to our little household.

Gardening. Living in a forest provides plenty of food for Malcolm’s mulcher! And Helena loves helping with the raking and watering (naturally, only within the mandated times).

Cooking. Catherine will try to eat just about anything; Helena loves baking; in the absence of M & S, Chris is using cook books; and Mal helps by eating and complimenting the efforts of those around him.

Music. Helena’s life is one big sound track where she makes up the words and tunes.
Catherine contributes by clapping and making up her own words as well.

Work and study.More MBT for Malcolm (two subjects to go!) ; Chris resumes study (and sleep?!)in 2010; Helena has learned how to use the toilet and sleeps in the bed!

Fun. Sailing in the world Masters Games; Holidays to Hyams Beach and a farm stay in Armidale; and late night DVD’s including Miffy, Maisy, Chugginton …

Merry christmas!

Love Chris , Mal, Helena and Catherine XXXX

讀完卡,除了分享的喜悅,我開始回首2009年。
這個澳大利亞家庭關於2009年的家事筆錄,可有讓你回想自己的2009?
