A New Year

Wow, it has been two months since I have been here. Sorry to any family and friends who might use this as an update centre for Isla!

2009, it is going to be a GREAT year. So much planned, so much happening, so much to achieve.

Today is the first day of Year 3 at school for Isla. She is up and dressed already, and only 7am. All jobs done, tidying done, now sitting reading a book. I am nervous for her, she isn't at all nervous - just excited :) Lovely to see.

We have had a wonderful Summer break - incredibly hot but action packed. Some of the things we have done include:

Visit to State Library for "31 Circus Acts in 30 Minutes".
Lots of lunches out with friends and family.
Playovers with friends.
New Years on Stradbroke Island.
Christmas Eve with friends.
Christmas Day and more in Ballina with family.
Isla learnt to surf on a full sized surf board.
Visits to the local library.
Lots of reading.
Lots of swimming.
Cooking (and of course eating).
Seafood on the back deck.
Another visit to Stradbroke Island.

Not a lot of structured activities this time, but lots of friend and family time.

John has had a sore back since about 30th December, today is only his second day back at work, he tried about 12th January but his back caused him agony. After trying the Chiropractor he then tried a Physiotherapist. The Physio seems to have given results, taped his shoulder and back also. So today everyone goes back to school and work, which means I will have to get into my study and tidy it ready for a big week back at work myself!

Have a great week everyone.
