our house

Lounge; back deck; hallway from the front door;front of house; back steps which give you an idea of the slope of the block; under the house which Charles is outting to good use already; view to Bec & Helen's from the back steps and in to their office where Remi is getting a cuddle.
We have started putting pictures up and I am doing a lot of pfaffing, but things are shifted around daily. All good fun.

leaving and starting

It has been a while since I last blogged, and in that time we've been down south for 3 weeks, mostly getting our things organised to truck up here; catching up with our mums and other family members (a very short 2 day trip to Melbourne); a wonderful farewell dinner at a local eatery organised by Shirley and Kevin; 3 days in Sydney to celebrate Mat's birthday; a night at Simon's on the way here in time to meet the furniture van; and since then trying to get things organised...i.e. nesting. We stayed with Shaun and Nobuko in their cosy house whilst at the farm, which was really lovely. Their view on to Lightening Ridge changed every day, often dressed in cloud, whilst the garden round what was our house was in full winter bloom.


We really love our house and living with Mitchy. Being next door to Bec, Helen and Remi is truly wonderful for all of us. He sometimes pops over before going to kindy,and if he is lucky he'll get a story as he is here with his dad, sitting in the morning sun on the back deck. He has developed a passion for going to the skate park and spends lots of time perfecting his riding and scootering and is growing up way too fast.
