and the good news… second take with more details this time!

We now have a house to move into!  And we should be there by approximately the 10th December!  Hooray!
Better let the removalist people know now…
So. Marc is starting his new job on Monday. With Sanofi-Aventis.
He’s doing 2 weeks down here as handover and then is having a week off to get to Brisbane [...]

And the good news……

The Harvey’s are vacating Rouse Hill and moving back to Brisbane!!!  Details are sketchy at best for now, but we will keep you all posted.  We are all SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

The Thomas Experience

On Saturday, together with Laura, Brett and Isabelle we took the boys to A Day Out with Thomas, in Thirlmere (which is about an hour drive from our house).
We had a 50 minute steam train ride, with Percy pulling the carriages.

Owen got to ‘meet’ Thomas and have a look inside.

There were two small trains for [...]

The baby and his Dad…

Hardly ever do I take a semi decent photo of Marc with either of the boys.  When I stopped to take this photo this is what was happening at our house:

Marc had pretty much walked in the door
I was trying to make dinner
Owen was trying to “help”
Reuben was being very needy – even after a [...]

We like visiting hospitals…

Yesterday we spent four and a half hours at Westmead Hospital, mainly waiting for Owen to see the plastics surgeon and then to see a physio for his new hand mould thingy.  Our appointment was for 1:30pm and we didn’t walk in the door (at home) until 6:37pm.  Needless to say it was a very, [...]

Randomness while we sit inside, not riding skateboards, scooters and bikes.

Firstly, an update on Owen and his hand.  Our hospital visit was good this morning.  The surgeon had already had a look at the x-rays from Saturday and had a look at O’s hand today and was happy to leave it as is, in the same half cast until next Thursday.  If the cast hadn’t [...]

Mum, I need you’re picker-upper-er thingy!

This morning I was reading part four in Simple Mom’s series about How to be Disorganized & Unproductive.  Part four is entitled, Don’t Plan Your Time.
While reading her article, knowing full well that I should have been vacuuming, a job I have been postponing again and again because I really just don’t want to do [...]

Rinse and repeat

Yesterday was much the same as Monday for Owen and me.
Take Owen to pre school (he wanted to go an hour before we needed to), and then I was planning on spending the day getting the boring stuff done that I didn’t do on Monday.
My first job was grocery shopping, this was only going to [...]

Maybe we could…

live in our tent?  We are already using our esky as our fridge while we wait to move before purchasing a newie…
It wouldn’t be that much of a stretch… Would it?
We have been thrown quite literally in the deep end of the rental market that is Sydney.  It’s not an uncommon site to see over [...]

There’s a hint on this page

This week we’ve been given some work related news.  We could just tell you, but what would be the fun in that!
Those of you who we’ve already had the opportunity to tell please don’t post, but everyone else see if you can see the clue.  What’s the prize for guessing first you ask.  Well, actually, [...]
