Martin turns one

How time flies..... it feels like yesterday that I held Martin for the first time at St Helier's hospital. The then 8 pound cutie is now a 25 pound mountain climbing, everything pulling trouble maker.

My mom fractured her arm so she was able to test the government hospital system for us and found it rather good, she even has a CD with all her x-rays on it. She is on the mend and is now only given light duties around the house. :-)

We are slowly starting to settle in and Christmas is closing fast.

Australien -> ein monat auf

We have now been in Australia for a month and boy has it been cold. Saying that, it does warm up later in the day. We have had a few hot days in the 30’s (degrees C) where we went down to the beach to be set upon by flies, big fat squishy flies. A local came up to us sensing our displeasure, and handed over the fly-off spray, result. It was then off to T'Gallant for some wine tasting in the Mornington peninsula.

We have our rented house and our stuff should be arriving next week. (note: garden furniture makes a great lounge suite)
Seeing we have not really done much in the way of the "Australian lifestyle thing" I am hesitant to comment for fear of coming over negative so it’s best just to mention the good parts.

My job has me all over the show and Georgie is learning to love being a full time mum, NOT, so we are looking into childcare so she can go back to work in some capacity.

Me mum landed a couple of days ago and has been recruited as head kids-caretaker. (She is ageing before my eyes)

Chat before Christmas....
