We miss you

Last Wednesday we farewelled Maz, Vince, Vince and Darcy. The cousins are off to Bangalore, India for a few years. Simon, Ben and Ella loved spending time with their cousins.

We had a good old lamb BBQ to send them off in style.

Next time Mazzie visits, Ella may even give her a hug

Latest movie release

The latest gadget purchase after the bike was a new video camera. So now we can start making home movies. Simon is planning a Lego Star Wars movie. production should start sometime in 2009 when he finishes building all of the ships.

Willoughby Beach

Sarah recently bought herself a new bike. It arrived partially assembled in a box. The biggest attraction for the kids was not the bike but the box. Simon decided that we needed a beach in the backyard. Ella who seems to love taking sand out the sandpit was more than happy to oblige.

Thank you grandpa.

Hi my name is Ben Harris. I am 3 and 2/3 and my parents are letting me write this post because I am very advanced for my age. Yesterday my grandparents took me shopping for my first lunch box since I am starting preschool next year. I had a great time.

While we were shopping Granny left us alone for a few minutes and Grandpa and I went off by ourselves. My Dad tells me that when he was younger Grandpa wasn't allowed to go shopping by himself because he can't help buying stuff. Luckily I was accompanying him and we headed off to look at the toy trains. Under my careful supervision Grandpa bought us each a toy train.

Thank you very much Grandpa you are so generous and despite what I say sometimes, I do love you.
