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...

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...

Intrepid Vietnam Family Holiday - The Good, The Bad and the Itchy (plus 3 days in Singapore)

By
On 14th December, 2015 our family of 4 embarked on an adventure in Vietnam.  We were excited but nervous as taking two kids to a country where EVERYTHING is different was bound to be challenging.  Reid had just turned 11 and Megan is about to turn 14.  Following is my travel diary.  Some parts are gross, some are embarrassing, but I figured that if someone else is contemplating a trip, now they will know the good, the bad, and the itchy. Vietnam day 1 - Ha Noi First impressions. The airport was large and modern and clean. Clearing customs was way easier with less paperwork than at home, although the officer that processed us wanted to see us one at a time, despite the fact that other lines were taking couples through together. I tried to go through with both kids and she said "one ba by" so I went through with Reid and Megan had to go through with Dallas. I think the fact that we had pre-done our visas made the process much faster than it could have otherwise bee...
