I'm a Citizen - Finally

Seeing as I had nearly 5 months off sitting around doing nothing...I finally got my paperwork together and got my citizenship. One more thing to tick off. 

Ceremony was a very happy occasion and the Matthew McConaughey look alike got off to a shaky start, but he was soon getting into the 'swing' of things as was the organist who rose out of the floor in grandiose style!

It's a small world when you bump onto your kid's soccer coach and your son's best friend and his family who are all there to do the same. I've now finally got a Westringia to match the one that is flourishing well in the back garden, thanks Moorrabbin Rotary Club, and sorry I was so picky! :)




I'm an Australian

Martin's 9th Birthday

Happy Birthday Martin! What's on the wish list this year...Grossery Gang! More little squishy things to get stuck in the vacuum cleaner or down the dog's throat.

Good on you Martin for banking the $100 from Granny, the bank teller was very proud of you for saving your money every year, just think another 9 years time and you'll nearly have $1500...provided Granny keeps coughing up, thanks Granny💗😉

Karl's 11th

Happy Birthday Karl, and what does an 11 year old want for his Birthday.....$$$$ (and lots of it)! So we decided to give him a scavenger hunt and dot a few (quite a few) $10 notes around the house. No birthday however is the same without presents, and he loves his poo emoji cushion and retro plates.



I'm almost a tweenager

Mr Buller 2016

After 8 years in Melbourne, we've finally gone to Mt Buller!

We managed to get the last few days before the close of the season, great timing Dad! Lucky there was plenty of snow for the kids to learn how to ski. The lesson started at 9:30am, wrapping up at 1pm with lunch. Karl wanted to carry on so he got a 'private' lesson until 3pm....needless to say, he slept well that night!

It's expensive so start saving the $$$$$ for next year Dad!!! (yes MOM)

Ski School

Log Cabin Camp

Karl's first time on camp and he really enjoyed himself. Highlights were the Giant Swing, Possum Glider, Leap of Faith and Archery. Food wasn't too bad either, one night was chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and ice cream....mmmm yum!

He took over 100 photos, good job Karl, and these are four of them.
