Just a quick note to let you know why posting has been a little light over recent days.

After considerable thought over recent weeks our family is looking to make some significant changes.

With my workplace about to move, Emily getting ready for High School next year, the ever changing needs of a growing family, and a number of other considerations, we’ve decided to test the market and look at the possibility of moving house. We’re currently in the process of trying to get our home ready for sale.

We’re starting to sort through the huge mass of belongings we’ve accumulated over the years to decide what to pack, throw or stow. We’re also looking at carrying out a number of home maintenance jobs, some gardening and repairs to the brick paving on our wonky driveway. (Any offers of help would be cheerfully accepted! 😉 )

We still haven’t settled on the exact area we’ll move to but we have a few ideas and feel confident that we can find something suitable within our price range.

Our current home has served us so very well for the last 15 years but it really feels like it’s time to move on.

I guess Fathers Day is always going to be more of a celebration when you have two exceptional children like Emily and James.

We had a wonderful time yesterday. The day started with some hugs and just the right balance of cute, yummy and practical gifts.

Church was great with Youth Pastor and good friend Andrew Binns preaching a wonderful Fathers Day sermon, his first as a dad. It was a wonderful reminder of the absolute privilege and the very serious responsibility of being a dad.

After that we headed off to Subiaco for a picnic and one of the free Sunday at Subi performances. Improvilicious is a magnificent family show based on clever and funny improvised theatre. We saw a snippet of the show about a year ago and some weeks back we went to see the show in full. Yesterday was our opportunity to share it with extended family. While the basic structure remains the same, the very nature of improv ensures that it’s never the same twice so there were plenty of new laughs.

I’m hoping that we’ll head back to Subi in a couple of weeks to see my favourite local band, Adam Hall and the Velvet Playboys for their Sunday at Subi performance.

Fathers Day is celebrated at different times depending on where in the world you live but for those who celebrated yesterday I hope it was a good day for you.
