What happend to April?

April is turning out to be --> limbo month... and YES..... We bought a house (see next month for a pic or two). The kids are being mischievous as ever with Karl Jnr into BeyBlades and Martin is dressed to impress in St Kilda colours (man are they playing crap this year). Been to a few games at the G and adapting to the cooler autumn days.

Georgie is posing for LinkedIn and plotting her next move up the corporate ladder while I plan how long I can spend in the Spa without my skin falling off.



Clean that Bike

Autumn 2011

While the days still creep up to the 30's, one can feel that Autumn in the air. I can't believe we have been here for over two years and what a two year's it has been. We are now settling in and enjoying our new life in Australia. The kids are also settling in well and are happy as Larry on a sunny Saturday morning. We are now looking forward to skiing in a few months time.

But its still March and Granprix month...... First round was in Australia and what a race it was. It's shaping up to be a great season.



Vroom Vroom

Karl's first day of school!

You know you're getting old when your baby starts school. It was a reluctant start but he eventually settled when I quickly slipped out and Dad said we'd be back soon:) After a couple of hours of drawing, stories, playing and snack time, he said good bye to his teacher, Miss Vella (Prep V) and it was off to Subway for lunch, his choice! Can't wait for Monday......

All this and there are flood warnings for Victoria...again, cyclone Yasi just hit Queensland and half of the US is under snow!

Walking.................to your future

Happy New Year...and all that!

Well, things are slowly getting back to normal....if you can call 40 degrees and flooding normal! We're all back at work and kinder and Summer if finally here so there's loads of swimming and the boys are getting more confident in the pool every time.

A new year brings new changes and it looks like the hunt for a house is on again....inspections every Saturday and those dreaded auctions....who needs them!

Just having fun in the sun

Christmas.....again!!!!

Summer hasn't really started here yet and the weather is quite miserable.....even the heating still comes on in the morning!

Grandad, Laura and Abigail arrived on the 13th and couldn't shake the jetlag, but the giant prawns on the BBQ made up for the loss of sleep. While they went off to Cairns and Sydney we went about doing some Christmas shopping and orgnanising the goose (which by the way was a disaster...the thinnest goose from some concentration camp goose farm.....fatten them up for heaven's sake!!!!!!) At least the stuffing was delicious and the ham that Grandad made turned out really well.

The rest of the days were filled with trips to Sorrento, Yering Station winery, Yarra Valley Dairy, Crown Casino and more shopping!!! Plus I had a day out just with Grandad at the NGV and a special lunch at Nobu, thanks Dad! And it had to be the hottest day when I dropped you all off at the airport on the 31st - 41 degrees!!!!

As Noddy Holder would say, Its Christmas...................
