Our daily lives...

... for not posting that is...

I just plain keep fogetting to post here. Some days I remember and then get called away, some days I just plain can't be bothered, and the rest I just forget.

Hopefully now that I've got a nice design for my blog that I like, it might be enough to keep me coming back, either that or my darling friend Skip will give me a kick up the bum if I don't come in often enough.

So much has happened since July when I last wrote on here. Richard's cousin Jenny came to vistit for a night. She was driving back to QLD from Perth, and decided to come spend a night with us. It was lovely to see her, even if it was only for 10 hours (most of that time spent sleeping.) But we did manage to get out the following morning and quickly show her around before she had to head off again.



September was Father's Day. Mum decided not to go to Adelaide for the day, so the 4 of us and Mum went out for a lovely drive and picnic lunch along the way. We stopped at a lovely park at Strathalbyn, then we went on to Murray Bridge. While we were at Murray Bridge, we went to see the "Bunyip", which is an Aboriginal Dreamtime Story. Both boys were absolutely terrified of this creature.




Then in late September the girls came for 10 days. It was wonderful to see them again. The last time they had been here was January when they went home after the Christmas holidays. So it had been a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time between visits. We made the most of them being here, including a 2nd Father's Day for Richard (Being that the girls arrived 2 weeks after Father's Day, so I made him hold on for his main present), going to Murray Bridge to see the bunyip, again, lots of park trips, a walk over Granite Island, and seeing James at Kindy.




During the winter months, we've also spent a lot of time Whale Watching. That's just ONE of the perks to living in Victor Harbor. Basham's Beach this year was a favourite spot for the whales, and on most of the days they were only about 20-40metres off shore. They were so close you could almost reach out and touch them. Whales are such amazing creatures, Mum and I would spend hours and hours just sitting and watching, waiting for a fin or tail to come up out of the water. Every so often off in the distance you would see one or two jumping in and out of the water.

Life is pretty hectic now as well. I'm in the throws of organizing my 30th Birthday party, which is going to be in Early December, plus the girls arrive on the 12th of December for Christmas this year. Plus James has lots on over the next few weeks with Kindy activities, so life is never boring here in VH
