Doggie Birthday

We celebrated the birthdays of our dogs today with a cake especially made for them. Apparently it was delicious as you will see in the last photo. Cookie was a lady and licked her icing off first then neatly ate the top layer of the cake but left some for later. Muffin simply demolished his entire piece then tried to eat Cookie's - but decided that was a bad idea when she bared her teeth at him!

The cake...

...with the boys and dogs.

Cookie the lady - licking daintily.

Muffin gobbling as fast as possible so no-one else can get any!

The final result: Cookie's on the left & Muffin's on the right :-)

Family photos

We recently had some family photos taken by a professional and are delighted with the results - considering none of us like getting our picture taken, and Caleb was a bit of a beast the entire 2 hours of the photo session, we think the photographer was a genius!! He cleverly gave us all our photos on contact sheets that we cannot print individual photos from, but we can use them to choose which photos we want printed & show them to friends and family to remind them how handsome/beautiful we are :-)

Here's an example of a couple of the contact sheets we have to choose from - sorry they're a bit small but this is the biggest I can make them:

Back again...I've already changed the template, adjusted the font size, read my first comment (thanks Tania!) and am now about to try adding a photo. I'm hooked on blogging!...

...Did it! Here's Caleb and Lachlan with their two best friends - Muffin and Cookie. We are celebrating the dogs 'approximate' birthdays on the weekend with a bone-shaped, beef-flavoured cake - it will even have their names inscribed on the top of it. Can you believe that such things are even available?! Oh, and in case you're interested, Muffin will be 4 and Cookie will be 3...

Beginner blogger

I've been wanting to set up a family website for ages but my clever computer-whiz sister, Tania, has just told me about blogspot so...here goes...some trivia from the Townshend's!!

We are currently into week 4 of our long 'summer' break here in Singapore. Lachlan, Caleb and I have been attending summer school at SAS and Darrell has been enjoying staying home, catching up on sleep and study :-) Next Monday the boys and I are off to Australia for nearly 3 weeks while Darrell will stay in Singapore. We're looking forward to catching up with all my family in Canberra, especially our new nephew/cousin, Baxter, whom we haven't met yet!

Will hopefully add photos and more interesting dialogue soon...
