Chicken Pox
Georgia and Matthew have the chicken pox. Although we have been and will be seeing some friends this Easter, we are pretty much keeping low key. I was planning to go to church, but we won’t now. Georgia has probably already infected her entire class without us even knowing she had the darn thing. I […]
Filling in time (before I ring mum)
Georgia and Matthew are trying to settle for bed. They both have runny noses. Monte is feeling crappy too. Our friends’ children have the chicken pox, and because we saw them recently, I think my children might be getting it too. Despite immunisation (which Georgia has had), I know of plenty of children who are […]
Devils and swings
A few nights ago I heard an awful, menacing noise coming from under the front ‘porch’ (really a few pallets set up like so). At first I thought it was Naigee growling, but as I woke from a groggy sleep, I realised it could not be the cat… it must be a devil*! What on […]
Time for a Bed
Matthew is in the bottom bunk now. He is very cute because he tends to sleep on his belly, with his bottom in the air, curled up in just one corner of the full-sized bed. This evening Monte and I walked up the hill to the proposed house site. When we came back inside, we […]

The forest was very pretty, although it was terribly windy (and cold, and wet) and the trees croaked and groaned all night. […]
Swimming and Stuff
Today was quite warm – hot even! With temperatures reaching 30 degrees, we all went to the local pool and had a lovely swim! We’re thinking about getting a season pass, so we can go whenever we want to. Georgia had a fabulous time and is a natural in the water. She “swam” at least […]
Georgia starts school!!!
a grown up Georgia in her school uniform Right, so, my firstborn Georgia Rebecca May has grown up and wears a school uniform and goes to school and learns stuff… I can deal with this! It’s only two days a week. It’s only for a few hours. It’s nice to have some time just with […]
Wedding Anniversary
Yesterday Monte and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. Here’s us when we were married – aged just 21 and 22! We celebrated with a scenic drive followed by a family picnic at Margate playground aka Du Pont Bicentennial Park, where we ‘fed’ (under duress) ducks that made Matty cry; watched boats on the water; […]
