2007 – Greetings!

December 31, 2006

(I’m sick of reading “Happy New Year, I thought I’d try something different in my title) How was everyone’s New Year’s Eve? Mine? Well, as usual, I was in bed at 10pm, but was probably up with Riley at Midnight-ish anyway, so I’m going to count that as ‘seeing it in’. This morning, typically, I [...]

Riley first waving

December 30, 2006

Riley started waving a few days ago. Here’s a sample. Enjoy!

Beach re-cap #2

December 30, 2006

Now for Riley’s turn. This is my uncle with Riley. He’d take my son off to sit in the rockpools while the tide was low, giving me a much required rest; for which I will be eternally grateful. I think Riley is a much more tactile soul than Keira, and so part of his pleasure [...]

Beach re-cap #1

December 29, 2006

Well, as I reneged on writing the actual account of our trip to the beach, here are some sneak peeks back onto our great week there. I will say now that I did not take these pictures. They were taken by my cousin-in-law (is there such a thing?) who was also staying. He is a [...]

When your post title idea runs off

December 28, 2006

I was up every 1.5 hours with Riley last night. At one of these times, I thought of a great title for my next post here; but as what usually happens when I get a writing idea in the wee hours of the morning, I can’t remember it when the time comes to put it [...]

When the air transit system leaves a lot to be desired

December 27, 2006

I forgot to mention yesterday that Adam’s bag was lost en route from Sydney to Melbourne. This hasn’t happened to us before but I now see why people get so frustrated. After waiting in line for ages at the airport, tired and with a wriggly baby, our details were blearily taken and we were told [...]

Home again!

December 27, 2006

Well, here we are. We’ve walked through the door and already I’ve been met with the problems that I was more than happy to forget about for a little while. Like, just how to solve our toy storage situation when we’ve come home armed with tonnes more (enough for my little sister to have to [...]

You know when you’re on holidays when…

December 20, 2006

This morning, Adam and I were walking around for about an hour asking ourselves “Is it Wednesday or Thursday?” and were both surprised and disappointed to find out it was in fact Thursday. I feel like I’ve lost a day or so thanks to Riley’s antics. Now he seems to be better and happier, it’s [...]

Sunny Skies Again

December 18, 2006

Well, the rain has gone (I think). I am pretty sure it has because all of us, to varying degrees, have a bit of sunburn. Keira has taken to the water with gusto; having already fit in three beach visits and a pool swim today before her nap. I am having less of a relaxing [...]
