Family

 

When I went to Albury over Christmas as well as seeing mum, Amanda, Zarlie and Cooper, I got to catch up with my dad, brother and sister who I have not seen for about 3 years (we talk often on the phone). It was really great to spend a few days with them. All the kids got on famously. This is a picture of them - Maisie (yellow shirt), Keenan (red shirt), Cooper my nephew (orange shirt), Zarlie my niece (in pink), Grace my sister (black and white dress) and Jason my brother (hoodie).

Keenan thought it was hilarious calling Grace Auntie all the time because there is only about 18 months between them. We all went out for tea and I commented to dad that there would be no way that someone could guess the connection between all of us.

  This my dad with all the kids.

Back later with some photos of when we went to Kugiong to visit mum.

Hope everyone is surviving this hot weather. It is the hottest it has ever been here on King Island with the mercury hitting 38 yesterday. Not that hot compared to other parts of Australia but hot for this little island.

Bye for now

Finally back

I went through a stage of being not sure of whether I wanted to continue with the whole blog thing and if you have not already guessed I have decided that I will stick with it. It has been a really useful tool for communicating with family and friends.

I can't believe how quickly we are back into the swing of 2009. I took Maisie and Keenan to Albury and Jugiong for Christmas. Anthony stayed behind to build his shed. I stayed off the Island for 2 weeks and left the kids with my mum for some time. They won't be back till Sunday 1st February. I think from looking at the weather that they will be glad to get back to the cooler weather of King Island.

Anthony has finally got the shed of his dreams. George, all the shed phots are for you!!

  Farewell to the old shed!!!!

  The shed waiting to go up. (doesn't look much in this pile)

  Getting ready for the concrete.

  Up goes the frame!

  Walls waiting for the roof.

All but done!!!

 

This is the view from the back of the shed. I have mentioned we have been fencing as well. We have a sheep and a ram coming in the next few days so we have divided our block so we have a one acre block that will be for the pony and the sheep.

Last shot of the shed with a few of our fruit trees.

We also have been redoing the kids rooms. We swapped them around, pulled up the carpet, discovered lovely floor boards, gave them a polish, painted the walls. Phew I am so looking forward to a holiday!!!!

See you tomorrow!!!
