Megan's new lisp

By
Well we woke up this morning and Megan has a lisp :) She came running up to me completely upset because her OTHER front tooth had fallen out and she couldn't find it. She hasn't lost a tooth in ages and now she's lost 2 in one week. We eventually found it in her bed, so the tooth fairy can visit tonight. She has announced that she knows that I am the tooth fairy but doesn't seem to think that should preclude the tooth fairy actually visiting.

I am trying hard not to giggle when she says words that contain "s". Luckily she thinks it's kind of amusing too!


You can see the packing box in the background. The big day is one week from tomorrow.

    OH MY WORD! Maile has lost 10 teeth. I can't believe they are the same age. Losing and growing teeth is the one theing Maile does faster than most children!

The day that both broke and warmed my heart – 15 Jan 2011

By
Yesterday I cried all the way home from Fairfield to Windaroo. My home was well away from the floods. I hadn’t lost anything except my naïve assumptions about the damage a flood can do. But I couldn’t hold back the emotion. As the flood waters receded, we knew that we had to do something to help those affected by the Brisbane floods. Thousands of homes had been inundated by flood waters and they were saying on TV and on the internet that an army of volunteers was needed. I arranged for my Mum to come and watch the kids for the day, packed the car with brooms, shovels, mops, buckets, water and other cleaning supplies, and set off to try to “do some good”. My brother in law and his wife had friends on a street in Fairfield whose house had been submerged up to just under their roof, so they sent me the address and I headed for Fairfield. I was nervous as I didn’t know what to expect. As I drove under the overpass at Mt Gravatt I saw a huge line of volunteers over the bridg...

Adventure in Bali with Teenagers

By
We just returned from 8 days in Bali with our son (15) and our daughter (18).  It was a challenge for me to hold off planning anything, but we did not book anything besides our flights, accommodation, and a driver.  Normally I have every day planned out so that we can see everything.  We decided we wanted a more relaxing trip this time.  It turned out to be very busy and tiring, but in a good way. Getting there We flew Virgin Airlines.  We chose Virgin because we have Gold status, and have spent the last few years using family pooling to maintain status and accumulate points.  I also had a 10% discount voucher and we booking during a triple point promotion. Our flight to Bali was not too bad, although we were surprised that the plane was essentially a domestic plane.  The configuration was 3-3, and there were no in seat entertainment units.  There were USB charging points between the seats.  Our flight left at 5:15 pm and arrived at 9 pm...

13 night cruise around New Zealand on the Dawn Princess

By
On January 3rd we embarked on our fourth cruise with our friends, the Penney family.  We have known the Penney family since our kids were very young, with our youngest children born only 2 weeks apart. Given some potential medical concerns, we chose a New Zealand cruise as it would have been fairly easy to access high quality health care if needed. This was the first time that the Penneys had cruised. We had previously done two P&O cruises to Vanuatu and New Caledonia, and a Disney cruise from Florida to the Caribbean.  This time we were cruising with Princess on the Dawn Princess. Comparison of Cruise Lines It was interesting to note the differences between the ships.  We found that the P&O ships had a much younger demographic, with a party atmosphere and an emphasis on the nightlife.  The Disney cruise of course had a heavy family focus. We found the ship, the service, the shows and the theming to be exceptional on the Disney cruise but did not...
