Hello from Adelaide! A few weeks ago, I sort of ‘spur of the moment’ decided that I needed something to change up my life a bit, and that I would do so by completing my ultimate Australian Outback adventure goal – to drive across the Nullarbor. Not only would I do that, but I’d drive … More Hello from Adelaide!
Saturday 8th December The breakfast at Comfort Inn was really, really good. They had waffles, “biscuits” and gravy, bagels, cereal, hot chocolate, boiled eggs, danishes and muffins. Jeremy had some work he had to do and needed the free wifi for, so we didn’t leave Evanston until about 10:30am. We weren’t sure how the roads … More RTW 2007 installment #16 (Dec 8-Dec 11)
Monday 3rd December Doyle fared better still in bed last night. I managed to get him to sleep in his cot until 5:30am, with only one feed at 3am. In our room this morning, I got Doyle to copy me saying ‘Mama” a couple times. Jeremy’s jealous because he hasn’t learnt any d sounds yet … More RTW 2007 installment #14 (Dec 3-Dec 4)
Friday 30th November I got up at 6am in order to pack all our things so we could get to the airport in time, But Jeremy decided on sleeping in instead, so after I packed a couple things, I wrote and updated my blog until Jeremy got up at around 6:45am. We’d finished packing everything … More RTW 2007 installment #13 (Nov 30-Dec 2)
We’re just a few days short of Doyle’s nine-month mark and he’s currently going through some rapid development. I’m very impressed with how capable he’s becoming at standing. Over the past couple of weeks, Doyle has been learning to lift himself up from a sitting position to a standing one while holding onto my fingers. … More Nine Months Strong
I’ve got a short film to edit at the moment, which means I’ve dragged my iMac out of son’s room (I’m glad it’s more portable than a PC box!) and set it up on the dining table. This in turn means I’ve been able to attach the digital camera and upload some of the latest … More Gratuitous Photo Entry
Doyle is still six days off being a whole six months old, but he has officially reached his sitting stage. He much prefers it from laying, and can sit for quite extended periods of time on his own now. At least a couple minutes! He can hold himself up, reach out for toys, pick them … More The magical six months
Doyle will be 6 months already in just over two weeks. It’s absolutely amazing how time flies now, and to see how Doyle is developing so quickly. Last night I watched Doyle roll from his back to his front – a harder task than front to back – and it was the first time I’d … More Growing Up
When I was a kid, my mum used to fly my siblings and I to the US quite regularly (as in every 3-4 years), to visit family. Now I’m following her tradition by taking Doyle and Jeremy overseas, not just to the States but to other parts of the world. By which I mean most … More What a family holiday can cost/Flight itinerary
Contrary to what it might’ve seemed like I believe in my previous entry, I have absolutely the best husband in the world. There is nothing he wouldn’t do for me if I asked him to, except maybe kill someone, but that’s not something I’d ever expect to ask of another human being 😉 My husband … More My husband
