Christmas - Only Once A Year?

2 months in planning and now it is all over. Wrapping paper crammed into garbage bags, instructions missing, parts chewed by small dogs , too much food (but leftovers - yum!).

Happy New Year, start as you intend to go on ...!

Which came first, the egg or the spoon?

Ahh, school sports days. The memories. The thrills. The excitement. Well, maybe not so much now that they have replaced good old fashioned smashy cracking eggs with plastic "meggs" (mock eggs).

Snappy Updates!

Not much too report, but as it is both Sara and Lauren's birthday this month we've been quite busy. Lauren has had a few photos taken - you can see them here. We've also had a new addition to the family - and you can see him here!

Singapore - Rasa Sentosa Resort

We arrived in Singapore yesterday for a 4 day stopover on our way to
Australia for Christmas. This is the view from our floor over the resort
and sheltered lagoon. The weather is "balmy"! It's comforting to be back
in a climate where air-conditioning is such a big feature of human
habitats.

Mouses, Fairies and Gardens

The year is just flying by, less than 50 days until our holiday to Australia. Lauren has kept busy with school - there was even a dress up day last week where Lauren went as a fairy. We spent last Sunday at Gran and Gramps, running around the garden and feeding apples to the horses.

Schooliform!

Quick snap of Lauren all ready for her first day at school.

Birthdays and School

It's been a very busy month. Sara turned *cough* 23 and Lauren turned 5! Then, Lauren started Year 1 at Daubeney Primary School.
