Sunday March 25th 2007


Another week and Liam is starting to try his best at big sentences and long chats, and telling us all the words he knows - big truck, digger, dump truck! Kaila is pulling herself up using Dad's leg or the coffee table but still pretty wobbly so she cant stand up yet, maybe next week she might.


Got a pic here of Liam up at Palm Beach yesterday while I had Kaila in my arms, the water was pretty nippy but as you can see Liam loved it. He was chasing the blue stingers being washed up in the water, luckily none stuck!


He did however get bowled over for six by a freakish wave about 30 seconds after I took this pic, knocked the feet from right under him but the water was very shallow. Just couple of rolls and tumbles and a mouthful of sea water and sand, but all was ok.


Then off to Newport for fish and chips in nothing but a nappy, much to the delight of surfers and surfer chicks who loved his jumping tricks, laughter and Buzz Lightyear impersonations.

Tuesday20March 2007

OK, time to get cracking. Need to sort out photo's and videos of the kids, sift through all those memory sticks and post em! Hopefully we'll try and update this once a week so family and friends in USA, Ireland, UK, and locally down in Melbourne will be able to visit from time to time.

Last Saturday was St Patrick's Day and of course we had our own little slice of Ireland at home. Guinness, Cashel Blue Irish Cheese and a hot humid Sydney Day - sounds awful doesn't it? Well actually the Guinness was icy cold, the Cashel Blue just perfect and even though the barbie caught on fire and we almost had a visit from Elvis above, it was great.

Friends Isobel and Paul and Mick and Emma joined us and the wee snappers to have a BBQ and a good laugh. Gone are the days of wild and debauched celebrations in those hot sweaty bars in Paddington with a few thousand other backpacking Irish. Brad, Dillon, Erin, Liam and Kaila had a great time and much to their delight managed to squeeze in a ten minute rain dance out the front much to the dismay of older neighbours.
