Belated Happy Christmas and New Year

Hi anyone,

Just wanted to wish you all (a belated) Christmas and New Year wishes for 2009. Here's the now traditional Aimee Xmas shot:

3 months on....

Hi all, been a little absent from the blog front...not much to say really. So heres a quick catchup.

• Aimee's 4th Birthday has come and gone.
• Aimee's moved up to frogs in swimming woohoo.
• We went to the farm for the Octoboer Long W/E - see photos.
• Planning a holiday to Phuket over New Year.

Other than that, Rose and I have been busy with work. Which sux.

Anyway, enough for now....

Merry Xmas to all my readers....all one of you.

Here's a photo:

August...

Hi all,

August has come and gone. In our family, we celebrate mine and Aimee's Birthday, as well as our friends Kitty and Mariana. So it's been a busy month.

Aimee turned 4 on the last day of winter, boy that has gone quick. As her Birthday fell on a Monday, her official party is tommorrow. We've invited her cousins, family friends and pre-school friends. This time the party has been outsourced, so when I get a chance, will upload pictures.

Poor little Aimee has been sick since the day before her Birthday, until yesterday really. Not eating much and a lot of throwing up. Not good. But thankfully, this has cleared for her party.

Caught up with Rochelle and David via Skype last w/e. It was exciting to see Inara for the first time - in action. What a good little girls she is, she turned six months last Saturday. Again, time flies...

Aynway, enough from me. Chat soon.

Aimee jumping in...

Scratchy video, but Aimee looks like she's having fun. The video was from my Dad's mobile, thanks Dad

Where have I been....

In short, nowhere...

Sorry, have been neglecting my blogging duties - not that anyone would notice.

So, what's been happening - not much. Bought Rose a HP Mini, loaded Windows 7 RC1 on it...not bad, bit slow to boot, but once running it works nicely. The Mini is nicely spec'd and does the job, Atom N280 processor, 1GB ram and a 160GB drive. Good enough to surf on your lap while out an about (tethered via bluetooth to my Nokia N96 over the Telstra NextG network). Funny how Rose's Mini spends most of it's power on time sitting on my lap. ;)

What else...

We got away for the long w/e in June to Port Stephens, nice w/e away with friends - big group - who was there - Jeff, Kitty, Craig, Thao, Renato, Mariana, the boys, Duncan, Connie and Sebastian, with us totalled 14. Aimee had a great time . Will post some pics over the next week or two.

Went to Sydney Aquarium, hopped a ferry and had a nice day out, though Aimee was a little ratty for most of the day. Spongebob was everywhere for some reason?? Kurtis, I think enjoyed it...

Winter seems colder this year, maybe I'm just getting older and feeling it more...

Anyway, enough for now - off for a hair cut.
Cheers

Site news....

Hi all,

I know you've all been waiting for it (yeah, right!) - I've finally fixed the photo album. Couldn't sleep last night, so it was the perfect opportunity. So feel free to browse for the latest lot of photos, I've added 4 new albums.

The weather page now updates when I'm at the PC only, so don't bother checking it - it was showing errors more often than not due to the wireless points dropping out, so no point maintaining it.

The only thing remaining is to backup the site before my host screw it up again and fix the video page...that all of you probably haven't heard about.

Anyway, enjoy the photos and take care.
