Belated Happy Christmas and New Year

Hi anyone,

Just wanted to wish you all (a belated) Christmas and New Year wishes for 2009. Here's the now traditional Aimee Xmas shot:

Happy 2009....bye bye 2008

Well, 2009. Yikes, were all getting older! (mind blowing insight I know!)

Anyway, hi anyone,

Here's what's happened since Xmas. We started by taking Aimee to the beach. It was our 5th wedding anniversary (27/12), so we went for an early breakfast at Neilson Park cafe, then took Aimee for a swim. Aimee is funny girl, wants to build sandcastles but doesn't want the sand on her hands - big dilemma for a 3yr old. :)

For New Years eve, Rose's office was opened up for the 9pm (kids) fireworks, so we ventured out - and surprisingly, we all enjoyed it. Back home by 10.15. Rose and I stayed up to watch the midnight fireworks, initially on TV. But outside around the corner was a great view, so we took turns to go watch the fireworks. They have several firework barges up and down Sydney harbour, so from our locale, we could see three barges and the top of the bridge - not bad at all. There was also a huge crowd around - surprising to see how many people were there by the bay walk and at the parks. Next year we'll just stay home to see the fireworks :) (photo: NYE sunset from Rose's work)

On New Years day, we went to the farm for 4 days. Hot up there, but we had a restful time. Aimee's cousin Kurtis was there, so she had a playmate. Check out the bum crack photo to the right.

My webhosting mob have moved servers again, so have been sorting out some issues - the photo album (gallery2) is broken, so in the mean time, have posted a temporary album with link with the photos from these 'adventures'. Enjoy

Hope you all have a great year

Happy 2008 everyone!

Hi again,

Made it to 2008...my 42nd year :). Gee time flies.

We had a great Xmas, tonnes of food of course as well as family do's to attend. It was nice to see Aimee getting into the Xmas spirit. Even though she "don't like santa", she did very well. You can see from her photos in the gallery - she is a lucky girl. Renato also took some more photos which I've added as well.

We went to Craig and Thao's for New Years - had a great night out. Watched the Sydney fireworks on their 52in. plasma. You know you're getting old when you rather watch the fireworks on 'tele' (and you use the word 'tele'). :)

We've sold he car, so ignore the previous blog entry saying it's for sale (just in case you were interested)...and we've also snuck away to Port Stephens for a few days, staying at Peppers Anchorage. Nice, I'm experimenting with my new camera and tripod, so we'll see what photos end up in the gallery.

anyway, enough for now....good night.
