I woke up this morning to a lovely email from Dave so thought I would share…. Well my day today was a good as it can get without you and the boy, let me give you a recap. Started off early this morning looking for …
Friday love
Lawn mowed, weed eating done time to weekend! Mum and I busted ass this afternoon and got our outside chores out of the way before the inevitable rain returns. September, like every other month this year is just flying by. I get to the end …
This is what 'socialist' medicine looks like
What I had suspected was a particularly nasty case of Man-Flu has turned out to be a bit more serious as Dave is now into his 24th hour in residence at North Shore hospital. Maybe it’s his appendix maybe it’s giardia WE JUST DON’T KNOW. I wish someone would figure it out. We are visiting him at the moment and Ethan is alternating between being fine and getting really upset about his daddy having to stay here .
Dave’s amazing optimistic attitude keeps shining through – he can’t believe that this is the reality of free health care. It really makes you wonder what all of those rednecks are fussing about.

The Snapper Haul
Dave and E went fishing with Mikey and Gemma today and came home with a bin FULL of big fish. Ethan reeled in his biggest fish yet, an impressive 8 pound snapper – hooked and brought to the boat all by himself, I think today …
My Guys Rip
We spent Sunday morning at the beach out west and both boys were charging!
Ethan has been riding without training wheels for just three weeks now and he charged the BMX track – HARD! Louie was always right there to lend Ethan some moral support and add difficulty as a moving obstacle if Ethan was going a little too fast!
Bike Repair, who can complain though with the beach right there! 180 hippy jump for the kids
Date Night – Aren’t we cute?
To celebrate Jo’s birthday we enjoyed an awesome Pot Luck dinner with my bestest girl friends and their husbands / partners. My camera was sitting on the table the whole time and I took not one picture. I know, very hard to believe. We did …
