Well my “babies” are starting Year 12 and Year 7 – how the heck did that happen? Here’s some photos of today, and a comparison with 2006, the last time they were first and last years of school. I can’t seem to find Ash’s Year 7 shots on dig, so will have to try and [...]

I know this will be out of order, but thought you might all be waiting to see how Connor has gone with his lego.

We almost forgot to tell about our awesome trip to Sovereign Hill the other week with the Snells. The kids had no idea that we were going, just that we were having an Adventure – until of course we got to the V-line station, Ash saw the destination was Ballarat and said “are we going [...]
