day SIXTY FIVE | year THREE… 2012
spunky dexter… he is so photogenic… and the only one accommodating at this time of night! lol!
day SIXTY TWO | year THREE… 2012
Tonight, Xan (#11) and Darci (goalie) had their first hockey try-outs… all players aged between 11-17 played for positions in one of the three junior teams… they both did an awesome job – despite the heat… and the mosquitos! Hockey is supposed to be a winter sport – but I don't think we will be seeing much 'winter' weather up here!
day FIFTY NINE | year THREE… 2012
Tonight we attended the 'Opening of Parliament' at Xan's school… I can't believe she is in her last year of primary school!

Zoe and Russ, watching tv and hoping that the fairies will come and unpack all those boxes!

Another shot of Dexter today… coz he is just so damn cute!
day FIFTY TWO | year THREE… 2012
The prediction was for thunderstorms and hail… the sky was dark and menacing… but our removalists were fantastic and got all three containers unpacked before the rain started! (container #4 was missing for a while, but has now been found and will be delivered tomorrow!)
day FIFTY ONE | year THREE… 2012
You would think that, after nearly two months in temporary accommodation, that finally getting the keys to our new house would be the most exciting thing that happened today, wouldn't you… but no – today we were also able to collect Zoe's birthday present, Dexter, from the breeder!
Zoe and Dexter spent the night sleeping on a swag in the, still empty, new house!
day FORTY NINE | year THREE… 2012
On the ferry from Kangaroo Point to Southbank… we had a couple of great hours over there, swimming and shopping, then caught the ferry home again… perfect afternoon.
day FORTY EIGHT | year THREE… 2012
This girl is so photogentic… which is lucky, because she is about the only one still willing to be my model, these days!
day FORTY SEVEN | year THREE… 2012
There is not a lot of room in this hotel… but the girls are finding ways to manage! lol!
day FORTY SIX | year THREE… 2012
Ok, I've put this off long enough… here is my birthday photo! (taken by Xan)… holding the awesome picture drawn for me by Willow's friend, Kasey… drinking my Toblerone cocktails from the funky goblet bought for me by my aunt, Sue… at the amazing surprise dinner organised by my very sneaky ranga… I was spoiled!! ♥♥♥
day FORTY FOUR | year THREE… 2012
Back on the laptop… and smiling… so you know that ain't homework she's doing!!
day FORTY THREE | year THREE… 2012
Today we spent an awesome few hours at Lake Dyer (before the weather turned) with the wonderful White/Downing family… thanks for the invite guys… we had a ball!!
day FORTY | year THREE… 2012
Less than three weeks into the new school year and today, Xan came home from her first camp! They kayaked; they rock-climbed; they built rafts; and played beach games… she left as the nervous, new girl… and came home with three new best friends!
day THIRTY NINE | year THREE… 2012
The night view from our balcony… I'm not going to miss the 40min trip to drop the lids at schooll… I'm not going to miss peak hour traffic on the Story Bridge… but i am going to miss this view ♥
day THIRTY EIGHT | year THREE… 2012
A storm's a comin'!… well, we thought it was… 15mins later and the clouds were gone… the storm went right around us! What a fizzer!
day THIRTY SEVEN | year THREE… 2012
I'd like to say that Darci was studying away madly… but she was actually playing Skyrim – again!!
day THIRTY FIVE | year THREE… 2012
Today we went for a drive up the coast… first we stopped at the Eumundi Markets… then took a dip at Dicky Beach… not a bad way to spend a day ♥
day THIRTY THREE | year THREE… 2012
Happy 18th Birthday to my beautiful Zoe… holy crap – 18!!!
Zoe's main pressie is this little guy –
… but because we are still living in a hotel, Dexter is staying with his breeder just a little longer… 🙁
(a huge thank you to the wonderfully talented girls at Cake Star for our custom made cake with the adorable 'Dexter' figurine)
