Big News- Mia lost her first tooth!

---

Hi everyone again!

Big news!
Tonight after coming home from our walk, showering kids, etc.... Mia lost her first tooth! It has been wobbly well before we left home, but it got to the stage where we thought she couls swallow it. So I pulled it out. Basically it popped out by itself. Mia was very shocked but excited that finally she was in a league like Alex, the big girl league! Of course this made Sienna start to cry because she has not lost a tooth! Its a bit of deja vu!

I have attached some photos of our Slovenia trip, just a few to get you in the mood! We visited Stefan Majcan and his family yesterday with Opa (AKA translator)! Seriously there were many things they asked me, that blew me away! They could have been speaking any other language, because it was not Slovenian! Even the inflection on their words are different to most dialects of Slovenian. They are from Prekmurje (closer to Austrian/Hungarian border). Whilst there he took us to see the gyspy's! Kids were so frightened to go, because we had threatened them to be sold to the gypsy's if they didn't behave! They were little angels, making Opa very proud.

You will also see photos of the families and extended relatives we have here in Slovenia!

Monday we took to the streets and spent time going through shops! Ladies Animal prints are the next big thing! Not sure if that's for me, but anyway, that's the heads up! Got quite a few shoes for the kids, cos prices are much cheaper than back home. In fact we may post home some of the stuff we have cos we may need another suitcase. Everywhere we go friends, relatives are giving us gifts, and gee whiz we may need a shipping container! Not joking! Dame and I are currently investigating what it going to be the easiest, cheapest way to get all this extra stuff home!

Take care everyone, stay warm, while we sweat it out!! (especially for you Terra Yana!)

Good night, and the burning question..............does Slovenia have a tooth fairy? Well we are about to find out tonight! And what is the exchange rate!?
Lahko noč

WOW, Congratulations Mia on losing your first tooth, you are a big girl now. Teta Tash is so proud of you. Hopefully the Slovenian tooth fairy was very generous to you. Looks like you are having a ball catching up with family. Yes Sam they had the David Jones fashion parade here in Melbourne the other day and they mentioned that animal print is in, me too I don't think I want to be a tiger!!!!!! (must say with a slovenian accent!). Home is good we have the year 8 social tonight, I have my 80's outfit ready and then Tim Newcombs 30th Birthday tomorrow night. Sunday has been put aside for cooking up some pancakes (Andy's job) and sitting by the fire again, aaaggghhh, can't wait. Big hugs and kisses to all, Love Teta Tash x o

Hi Sammy and the family :-))
It is so great to hear you guys are having fun, your blogs are all so excited, its great to read them!!! Enjoy Slovenia!! We are all doing well, Jaime is growing so fast, I sent you an e invite to your email Sammy for his Baptism, its on 19.09. in Kew. Hannah and Rebecca are both good. Congratulations on loosing first tooth Mia!!! You are a big girl now!!! Yeeey!! Sammy, if it is any help, when me and David moved from Slovakia to Melbourne we got a moving agency to move our things/clothes and they did the whole lot for us, custom clearing, packaging, and delivering right onto our doorstep. Maybe try with moving agency, I found it the safest and easiest, especially when they look after customs and other paper work so you don't have hassle with that. Have a great rest of the trip and say hello to your gorgeous family for us. Lots of hugs and kisses!!!! Ally
