Festive Season

Well the Christmas tree is away for another year and the "festive season" is winding up, for our family that not only means Christmas and New Years, but also Joshua's birthday on January 1st.


Below are family photos of the kids; Josh's birthday, Christmas day and sitting on Santa's knee.

Gippsland break

We recently spent a few days in Gippsland for the school holidays, staying in Metung and visiting places like the Buchan Caves.

Cape Schanck and the Zoo

With Simon on holidays this week, we've had a couple of family outings; the first was to the Lighthouse at Cape Schanck, on the Mornington Peninsula, and on Australia Day we visited the Melbourne Zoo.

It's that time of year again, here's this Christmas Santa photo.

Bradley meets Nathan Lovett-Murray

Last weekend was Bradley's 7th birthday.  He requested to go the Essendon V Richmand AFL game at the MCG, and he wanted to sit on the fence.

We went early to secure our good seats on the fence, just around from the city-end goals.  Before the game, Essendon player Nathan Lovett-Murray wondered over to chat with someone sitting on the other side of the isle to us.  Not wanting to waste an opportunity, Mandy asked if he would mind having a photo with Bradley for his birthday.  The Essendon star (wearing a suit because he wasn't playing that week) was happy to oblige.  Shortly afterwards, he was inundated by other fans wanting photos and autographs.
