party animals

Nick and I are very tired after our very first big weekend partying ( our kind of partying anyway!) Our friends Tim and Maryanne are moving back to Sydney so Friday night I went out with some girls for maryanne's going away dinner. We had tai food which was soooo yummy and then hot chocolate and desert at the coffee club. There were about 10 of us. I didn't get home till 12.30am! I havnt been out that late in a long time!!! Saturday night we swaped and Nick went out with Tim and the basket ball boys. He was home earlier than me. A bit tired after waiting up for me the previous night!

fruit fanatic

Nick and I just love this picture! You can see her teeth. Yum Yum.......I think she actually ate some vegies. We are going through a stage at the moment where she will not eat her vegies. she is living on fruit and cereal. We need to encourage her to eat some meat for iron..... so everybody wish me luck!! I think some more teeth are about to come through too.

the end

We have come to the end of the soccer season. We lost our second last game but ended with an awesome WIN! 4-0. Julia got 1 goal and I set up a great goal....did a little fluky fancy footwork too! It was lots of fun and I hope to play next season. Nick has his last game this Saturday.Scarlett and I will go to cheer him on.

A few words from the Dad and Husband
















I know that Bianca usually updates these blogs but hey who says that Dad can't have a go. No one. I just thought it high time that I say something.

Being a father is all I could anticipate (both ways). But I could never foresee the effect on my spirituality that my Daughter could have on me. Just one look into her bright and innocent eyes makes me want to be a better man. I told Bianca tonight that she deserves a stronger father, someone who she can look up to as an example. And that I will be.

But perhaps only because I have such a strong woman behind me. Bianca is for want of a better word, the legs of my chair. She holds me up at times when I am low. This year has been one of serious pressure and stress on my life, but she has been a rock and a solid foundation.
For that I have to be ever grateful. She is a wonderful wife and mother in Israel, just like her mum.

Thats it from me. Just thought that I would post this and surprise the Bink. Hope all is well....

vent


venting........
Having a rough day with Scarlett. she wont sleep!! Play...play....play...all day! I went in to check on her thinking maybe she was almost asleep and this is what she was doing. I have also had to rescue the carpet from some oil pastels she got into and pull her out from under the bed. She found Nick's chess set! She already has selective hearing too! I keep reminding nick we need to spring clean and remove everything from the floor.

silly bird



This is the silly bird that sees its reflection in our window and thinks its another bird. It hits the window with its beak and has left all those little marks! We've shooed it away a few times but it just keeps coming back. We're just waiting for it to knock itself out!
