My Dad is a rockstar

Local park last night J played with his friends in a band - he just went out tonight for another gig. He loves his music. Kd and Hj greatly loved seeing him up there too.

School Holiday BLING

As you can see new holiday art work inside and outside the home...

Notice anything in my son's pocket?


Art work making as apart of the Bendigo Art Gallery Asia Pacific Triennial kid's touring program - was really good and well put together artistically for kiddies.
Kd can't get enought of the BMX bike track and the skate park at the moment.

We went to the wonderful sands of Phillip Island

Out of the generosity of darling friends we had a family holiday at Phillip Island. There is no way known we could afford holiday accommodation right now. Good food and some good wine (known as Ruby - highly recommended even though I pretended it was highly distasteful to drink) The kids had a ball. Two families with kids the same age and houses around teaming with other pesties. I was never quite sure what day it is and we visited a great opshop in San Remo and also a local craft market that had lots of well made and well priced gifts for me to buy.

Below is a video not of the calming beach, but our last night impromptu disco party.

Our New Bubba

Here she is three days old, our darling baby Ariya Joy Marwood. My brother's and his wife's first baby.  Isn't she wonderful. Isn't she Lovely.

Reflecting on 2009

Inspired by Balancing Everything who posted her family's refections I considered hightlights of 2009

February finding a lovely local water hole

New

Welcome to the New Year.
It was a LONG and exhausting Christmas and very happy to have it finished and completed for another year.

Some delays to my life due to a torn calf muscle - still in recovery after 5 weeks!



Not the brightest start to my year having deleted ALL the Christmas images and videos I took of my darling children on Christmas Day - an accident due to my chuck out nature - whilst cleaning out our hard drive. I will never be able to sleep again.....
