Imogen’s 1st Day at School

Today was Imogen’s first day at big school. She had alot of fun & got to meet new friends (and old ones), and starts full time tomorrow. She loves her uniform (and looks great in it), and Mum & Dad are very proud (and still dumbstruck how quickly 5 years flew).

If you want to see the photos – check them out at our Flickr site.

New Photos – Christmas and the building of our New House

Christmas 2006 was lots of fun… we started out at home finding Santa had eaten most of the biscuit we left and drank all of the glass of milk. Lots of presents later we headed to Nanna & Nono’s house where more presents appeared. Later that evening we got to Gran & Grandad’s where, you guessed it… more presents appeared. Lots of fun!

We’re also building a new house… the first photos of the bare block are also available to see… I’ll post more as the building progresses.

See the house photos in the Photo Album, and the Kids Photos at our Flickr Site.

Thanks,
Shane.

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to take the opportunity and say Merry Christmas from my family to you and yours. I hope you get to spend some stress-free and relaxing times with your family and friends, and that 2007 is better and brighter than 2006.

Take care,
Shane (and Samantha, Imogen & Bianca).

Happy Birthday Imogen

My eldest daughter Imogen turned 5 today.

Whilst her party will be this weekend with her friends (she’s chosen to go to Putt Putt Golf), she did wake up a happy girl to find a brand new bike waiting for her downstairs.

Fathers Day at the Zoo

Well today we headed out to Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

Imogen and Bianca loved it and got to see alot of animals that were never awake on previous visits, like the Snow Leopard and Tigers. Even though it is alot of walking, they walked (and ran) the entire way and never complained (except for a slight scraped knee for Imogen when she was fooling around). It was a great day, great weather and something we should do more often.

There are some photos on our Flickr site.

A Great Man Passes

Today is a very sad day for my family – my grandfather Stanley, (Pud to us – pronounced like “Pud”ding) passed away.

Out of every person older than myself, Pud always and without fail was a testament to the belief that you are only as young as your mind. For the majority of his life he had an energy and exuberance of a much younger man that infected those around him.

Pud was a man that had experienced enough of his own personal tragedy in life, yet found the courage always to move onwards, never letting the “downs” be the end of his story.

You will be missed Pud; by me, my family, your wife Pat and every person you have ever touched.

Love Always,
Shane.
