Fitting in with the kids

Date May 22, 2008

We caught up with a few friends last night. We headed out to a local Thai restaurant.
It wasn’t a late night, probably because we all had kids at home. We needed to get home to relieve the babysitters.
I guess another reason it wasn’t a late night also had a lot to do with the children. [...]

Ice Cream Therapy

Date March 10, 2008

How was your weekend? It was a rather relaxing weekend for our family.
We took advantage of Perth’s beautiful weather yesterday afternoon to take a drive into the Swan Valley for ice cream at Oggies. Very nice.
I’m a bit predictable when it comes to choosing flavours. If an ice cream shop is offering macadamia ice cream that’s [...]

I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat

Date February 11, 2008

We’ve been hearing the pitter patter of very tiny feet at our place over the past few weeks.
James decided late last year that he’d like to keep mice and since then has read a few books and lots of websites to make sure that he would know just what to do if we allowed him to get [...]

Fifteen years later …

Date December 12, 2007

… and I’m still hopelessly in love with my bride.
On a hot Summer day in 1992 we stood in front of family and friends to say “I do.”
It’s really not that hard to continue loving Pauline. She is a truly remarkable lady and I’m so incredibly glad that God brought her into my life. I [...]

Another School Year Over

Date December 7, 2007

Today Emily finished Year Six and James completed Year Three at school.
I had the privilege of being at their final assembly for the year this afternoon. The final assembly is traditionally the time where the outstanding students from each year level are recognised for their work throughout the year.
When the Year Three teacher stepped up [...]

Let’s Party

Date December 4, 2007

It’s a week of partying at school.
Emily and James had a small party yesterday with the other kids who have been learning piano throughout the year. The class parties are happening through the week and then holidays begin on Friday afternoon. Hard to believe another school year is over.
I imagine that there won’t be too [...]
