Super Strong God

You might wonder why the title of this blog is Super Strong God, well let me explain, Super Strong God is one of the Hillsong Kids live worship albums, one of our friends lent us the DVD of this album, we showed Zoe, and now... she is "addicted" to it! It's very cute though, after she had seen it once she started to point to the TV and clapping her hands, and stamping her feet. Now she wakes up saying "Jesus" (jee-sah! in Zoe's toddler language), meaning: PUT THE SUPER STRONG GOD DVD ON! NOW!!! Her favourite song is "One Way, Jesus", and when we say One Way... she raises her arm up in the air and says, Jee-Sah!

Aside from that she has been growing teeth, growing taller, growing more clever and more able to do things like stairs and climbing. She has a sandpit which is a constant delight and loves trying to catch those tiny lizards that always get lost in the sand. She can bang out a few notes on the keyboard and tims guitar, and has the cutest little singing voice ever. Definitely musical. YAY!!! her musical parents rejoice. She has just started to get into scribbling, so bring on the crayons, and she loves playing in puddles or with buckets of water.

Here are a few happy snaps over the last month or so...some i couldnt resist putting up.

Our church recently celebrated its 25th anniversary right in the centre of Sydney. At Darling Harbour. o many people came out for the night and it was an amazing and historic thing to stand there and hear the praises of God going out across the water, and across the restaurants and cafes and to think back over what God has done in our church and in our collective lives... it was great. Zoe had a ball, disappearing amongst the legs of the crowd and we had to stay close or lose her! She is such a tiny thing, it doesnt seem right that she can walk yet! She had fun in the park and the sandpit and enjoyed meeting Max and Melody and just taking in the excitement along with us.

Our holiday was so good. A much needed break, and we were so excited to be able to spend almost a week with family. We visited my dad and his wife, introduced Zoe to her Uncle Adam, and to my uncle and aunty and cousins. It was a great family time. Zoe and her Pa got on so well, and you could see the love on both sides. Since then she has been asking for the pictures of dad and debbie to look at closer, and you can see she remembers them. We went to the beach and played in the park, chilled out with a dvd when the weather turned, took Zoe to the lagoon and splashed with her in the warm shallows, and ate lots of yummy food and stayed up late talking into the nights... very refreshing. Of course, now we want to do it again, but they live 6 hours away.
