Our House


In August 2005 we moved from Melba to Jerrabomberrra..... yup - to the Southside.... We love it ! We are in a great street - with really nice neightbours - with lots of kids ! Its a dead end - so the boys can safely ride their bikes out the front...I have a nice big office and work from home. The grass is not quite this green anymore - now that we all have water restrictions. The views from the front of the house are spectacular... we can see the city, black mountain, the fountain / captain cook jet - the mountains and planes (they come really close)....

OCTOBER 2006 - FAMILY PHOTO


2006 was a tough year for us after mums big operation on 23 December 2005 ! Lots of down time spent recovering.... In October, after she felt a lot better we had family photos taken... here is one of the three of us....

Mum Shopped at Hayman


Mum loved the shopping at Hayman Island ! She even splurged and bought herself TWO Collette Dinnigan dresses... Here she is in one of them - out to dinner with Tania ... They had a girls night out at The Chefs Table... eating in the kitchen before getting a tour of the kitchens and THE CHOCOLATE ROOM and wine cellars ! YUM

View from my room at Hayman !


Hayman is a beautiful location... my room was poolside - on the ground floor - so I could step into the pool from my balcony - It rained heaps when I was there -but that didn't spoil the great time I had !
Checked out kids club / school holiday activities.... will definately be heading back there with the boys !

Mum and friends on Hayman Island Jan 2007


Mum went to Hayman Island in Jan 2007 for a work conference (ANZ Mortgage Solutions)... adding on a couple of recreation days either side of the trip.... sheer luxury !!!!!
She spent many many hours at Spa Chakra recieving "treatments" .... lovely.
Here she is with two of her friends from Adelaide.. Jill and Andrew.

ROWANS 6th Birthday New Years Eve 2006


As usual we were down the coast for Rowans birthday... (New Years Eve). We spent the morning at the Mollymook markets and then had a little party for the kids at Nan Nan & Poppys - afterwards we headed down to the Ulladulla Harbour with Pete and his friends for the new years eve mini carnival and fireworks.... Rowan spent the day dressed as the devil... very appropriate !

Christmas Morning 2006




On Christmas Day morning 2006 we went to The BOM - a nice quiet beach just South of Ulladulla.It was nice, we walked around on the rocks, and climbed up the cliffs (well the boys did anyway)... Daddy stayed over at Nan Nan and Poppys with us on Christmas Eve - so the four of us went to the beach together as a family - that was nice......We had lunch at Nan Nan and Poppys with everyone. Santa brought the boys (and Daddy) tools. Mum got a NavMan.
