In July we took a couple of weeks long service leave and went on a holiday to Queensland and New South Wales. Liam really enjoyed most of the holiday but it was a little taxing at time. The major project for this year was to complete the beach house in Prevelly. We were very pleased with the way in which […]
2003 February – Family Update
We started the holidays off by getting Rosco (our handyman) to finish Liam’s play area by building a cubby onto of the slide stand. As usual, we went a little overboard but the insulation in the roof really keeps the lcubby quite cool in the afternoon when it is in full sun. Liam loves his […]
2003 January – Family Update
We have had a very progressive and productive year in 2002. Liam has really started to develop his own wilful personality and is starting to display character traits that must have come from his mother. For Father’s Day this year Liam bought me a Dinosaur Dig Kit and we sat there for hours chipping away […]
2002 January – Family Update
It has been a busy time, as you would expect at the end of the year. Daen has completed High School and we went to his graduation ceremony at the end of November. Betty came down from Geraldton to see her grandson graduate and was very impressed by the whole ceremony. We know how to […]
2001 September – Day to Day life resumes
It has been nearly a year since I last updated this page. This is the problem when you go back to work, you just can’t find the time to do the important things. After a year off, I returned to work and it seemed like I had never been away. Everyone kept asking me what […]
2000 December – Birthdays and Xmas
Well it has been the birthday season lately with Daen turning 16 in September, Liam turning 2 in October, Rosie’s birthday in November and Bruce’s birthday in December. As most of you are aware Rosie is much older than Bruce and he likes to remind her of this. We had the usual adults party for […]
2000 October – Family life
Liam has been having a wonderful time at playgroup this term. All the little blond haired, blue eyed boys returned and totally ignored each other again for another 10 weeks. Sarah organised the activities this term and did a wonderful job. As you can see all the mother’s made hats for the children on this […]
2000 June Family News
We took a trip at Easter to visit Phillip, Kathleen and the boys in Kalgoorlie. We started out by going to Joondallup and letting me have a game of golf, which as usual was very enjoyable. I played a reasonable game but not spectacular. At least I didn’t lose the money in the bet, much […]
2000 – March
The fence around the property has now been completed and the new automatic garage door has been installed. This means that Liam can now be contained within the immediate confines of the house and we can relax a lot more when he goes out the back door. He has taken it quite well and as […]
2000 February – Rosie’s Diary
Bruce has started his holidays now, this is the holiday that he is having while everyone else is at work, not the holiday that he just had while everyone else was on holiday. Many people are conspiring to disrupt his poorly laid plans for his year off. It started with Grandma Darby having to go […]
