Big week

A lot has happened since we last blogged, I have now been at work for over a week, Evie has had her 9th birthday and the kids have both started school. Everything is going well at work, all different apart from the teeth, seems Ozzy teeth are the same. Evie convinced us that it was a good idea for them not to go to school until after her birthday, at times we wished we had not agreed but they just about managed to get there in one piece!!

They do get on sometimes!!
In bed opening presents on her birthday.


one very spoilt little girl!



The now nine year old posing at Lorne beach, a lovely little town on the Great Ocean Road which has to be the number one driving experience, if Top Gear is listening.


They are collecting shells, we now have half a beach on the front drive.

At Evie's request we met David and Laura at Werribee open zoo the day before her birthday.


David my cousin leading my son astray, the kangaroos didn't half jump when Archie threw some food at them but not as quick as David and Archie moved!!


Tarzan or so he thought.


Amazing experience, feeding time for the lions but only inches from your face.





Two uniforms for their first day at school, didn't know which was best to wear!!
They had a great time and really enjoyed it.

  2. Hi Ed and family. Just been to see Chris today for the usual check up, was asking your address as I thought you were going to be in Sydney Annie (daughter) is in Adelaide and would have willing come to Sydney for her teeth to be checked by you. So pleased you seem to be settling in. I will be back over next year and who knows Brisbane may be a first stop. Take care Jane Perry
