Krazy Kayakers

Some of this summer has been spent kayaking up Indian Arm from Deep Cove.

More from the Sunshine Coast

A couple more pics from our time in Gibsons. Lily, Gilly-Ann & Gage enjoying the beautiful weather.

Getting Around In Style

Lily's new mode of transport....a bike seat on the back of Dad's bike. And of course a cool helmet too.

Friends...

Lily had a fabulous weekend in Gibsons, playing with Gilly-Ann on the beach....and sleeping in the tent in the backyard!
Also a cute photo of Lily & friend Leah curled up on the couch during a play-date.

Father's Day

A slightly belated tribute to Fathers Day. At Lily's request, a picnic in the park...followed by planting flower with Dad.

Beach Bash

Video Hosting - Upload Video - Video SharingFinally worked out how to add some video to my blog. This is from March.....Lily playing on Glenelg Beach, in Adelaide, South Australia. (see archives for other postings from our Feb/March trip)

World Cup Fever

Friday morning I sat Lily in front of some World Cup soccer and tried explaining the rules in basic 'toddler' language. That the red team were kicking one way, the yellow team the other...and that every now and again they stopped the game because someone was 'naughty'. She was yelling "go equador", while I yelled "go Poland"....we were both giggling pretty hard....

4 years ago, during the last World Cup, Jason & I were backpacking around Spain. I remember being in a little town, in the middle of nowhere, called Teruel....and watching the local police car drive very slowly down the main street in the evening....with one of the games blaring loudly from the speaker on the top of the car....for the benefit of those sitting on the patios!

Australia won their first game this morning! Their last appearance in a World Cup....32 years ago! GO SOCCEROOS!!!!

Photos are of Teruel & surrounding area (Albaraccin, Cuenca).

My Little Canuck

...is learning to skate at the Kitsilano Community Centre. It won't be long before she's better than mum...which quite frankly wouldn't take much at all!!!!

Back Blogging

My mum wanted to show someone some old photographs of Lily's surgery...so posting them on my blog seemed to be the most effective way to do that. An interesting use of a blog!
For those that don't know, this surgery was in February '04, to correct Sagittal Synostosis: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/6751/

Mums' Day

This Princess....

...tends to be a little melodramatic.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

A fantastic birthday at Grandma & Grandpa's home. Six friends, plus four little siblings....many great gifts...a Garfield ice-cream cake...and when it all gets a little overwhelming, a little rest in the cat-basket under the kitchen table to get away from things for a while!

Port Fairy

Hanging out, and relaxing with Nana in Port Fairy, Victoria.

Glenelg Sunset

A beautiful sunset (also a photo posted on March 11th), down at Glenelg Beach in Adelaide. It was such a relief after a 37 degree day.

The Three Of Us

Pics of just the 3 of us. Coping with the heat in Adelaide & Port Fairy. Not a bad way to spend March!

Hanging Out....

With cousins in Canberra!
