Me again.. today's photo is brought to you by the late hour, and the sudden realisation I had forgotten to take today's photo!
He Skype'd us… it was so good to see his face <3
Watching hockey is never boring with this lot…
Darci's long awaited computer has arrived… and it is huge!! I had to lay the back seat down in my car, just to fit it in!
Getting as many photos as I can before she has to leave again…
Zoe and Darci… I think they're actually vampires!
Our first photo from my deployed soldier-boy… only 186 days to go <3

We got the whole band back together… off to get our family photos taken!
Emmett loves to join me for a cuddle, but never stays long…
This is it… this is the only thing we photographed today – some Star Wars bags we saw on sale (for Darci) … pretty slack effort really – but a photo is a photo, right!

A rare day off work with my ranga today… so we went and watched Willow play in a school hockey tournament… her team made it the way to the grand final, but couldn't quite seal the deal… it was a great game to watch!
The last of Willow's robo-teeth finally fell out today… she had them capped at four years old and they lasted eight years! Good job dentist!
Missed one… move along…
Today we celebrated the 80th birthday Russell's beautiful Aunt Valerie.
So, apparently the sudden onset of a big storm was pretty interesting to this lot…
Willow is back at the dentist for a few repairs…
Jaimi was excited to meet this little fella at the movie theater today… we were there for the opening day of 'Jurassic World'… she loved the movie so much she is counting down the days until the DVD is released!
Xanthia was super-excited to be heading off, in the middle of winter no less, to her camping-out-sleeping-in-tents Sport & Rec camp… she had been trying to talk me into letting her skip it for weeks… sucks to be her! lol!
I can't remember the last time there were only two of us in the house for dinner… with my ranga overseas, Zoe in Queensland, Darci at work and Xan and Willow on holidays in Bendigo… it was just Jaimi and I left! … and because I don't remember how to cook for just two people, I let Jaimi choose whatever takeaways she wants… it was Maccas, of course!
Today we traveled to Sydney to visit family and celebrate the achievements of my amazingly awesome cousin, Rhonda… The Queen's Birthday 2015 Honours List – awarded the MEMBER (AM) IN THE GENERAL DIVISION OF THE ORDER OF AUSTRALIA – 'For significant service to higher education through governance and leadership roles, and as an advocate for social justice and gender equity.'

Good-byes are hard… good-byes for a super long time are super hard… only 198 days to go.
I got a new studio light!! … and I love my new light <3
This weekend we traveled to Bendigo to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Royal Australian Survey Corp… my grandfather, my father and myself all served with Survey so it was an amazing chance to catch up with many generations of old friends <3
It all started (for me) with this civil reception at the Old Bendigo Town Hall, hosted by the Mayor of Bendigo, Peter Cox.
