How many sleeps to Christmas?

I can't believe that November is almost over! What an amazing year of firsts 2009 has been.

We've been busy since I last blogged too.

The landscaping is finished (yeehaa). We had turf laid on Friday and we have been frantically watering for the last 3 days.

A few days after the landscaping was finished we had some torrential rain that washed most of our top soil into our pool. Our oasis was turned into a swamp! It took 3 visits by the pool professionals for it to look right again.

We had a big swim this afternoon. The weather has really warmed up now so I'm sure we'll be in it heaps more.

So what's been happening?

Isabella lost her 2nd tooth and I'm happy to report the replacement teeth which had come up behind the wobbly ones have 'fallen' forward and are looking great. Isabella has only a week and a half left of Prep. Grade 1 next year....

Tahlia - well neve a dull moment is true - a few weeks back we had some real constipation problems with her which necessitated the use of enemas - which was just awful for her. She is all better now, she has even taken to using the toilet for her "number 2's" - which all parents will relate to this milestone!

Michael has been very busy with work and is right back to doing heaps of travel. He has a work car now so at least he can organise his trips around us and our needs rather than having to travel with his boss when it suited him.

I think Michael is getting pretty excited about being able to get stuck into the gardens soon. Now the grass is laid we only need to have the pool fence panels installed and some concreting off the patio done.

We have dreams of a bali hut off the side of the pool in the not too distant future and the "resort" will be complete!

Tahlia's kindy have professional photo's each year and it has been a few years since we had some done. The photos turned out lovely. Look out family you'll probably receive some in the mail in the near future!





Michael and I had a night out the other weekend for his work Christmas party. The theme was 'Pirates' and we ended up winning best dressed for the night. The party was on a boat that 'drove' around the islands off our marina. It was a great night!



Until next time....
