The Family's Journey in Queensland: We're Back

Well time has been flying by. Since my last blog, our computer has been cactus. Trend virus is spastic to say the least. I know, i know, i was warned against getting Trent - it will slow your computer, not good at all...... but still we got it. Works great on David's machine, but mine has been really bad. Firewall this, download problems that, help desk people must be sick of me. i'm going to invest in new software as soon as i can and be rid of this Trend crap immediately!!!!!!

Anyway, back to Qld and our adventures.

We've been laying low and i've been laying very low this last 14wks. Morning Sickness is not a good thing. I've also renamed it - all day and night sickness.

We had a great mother's day. i cooked my own pancakes which didn't last long, went to Big W to buy Kirrily some clothes as her pants are now shorts, then David took me to Aldi at Noosa to buy nappies (for Kirrily, not me). ahh romantic mother's day. :-) We did however, have a delicious Organic vegetarian lunch which was gladly accepted by my tummy, walked across to Noosaville along the River and had the best coffee eclair thingy i've ever eaten. It was almost standing room only along the river. Great day eventually even if i did cook dinner as well.

Kirrily is growing like a champion - finally. she is getting taller but as she runs everywhere flat chat, she isn't putting on much weight. still a little 10kg girl. Dr's don't seem worried. She has found the mop and loves cleaning and mopping the floors, using the vacuum and especially loves hosing the gardens (and me when she can catch me). The tears and screams can be heard for kilometres when the hose is turned off. she just loves it so much. i did come off second best the other day with all my pants wet and shirt too. However, this was histerical to kirrily so i couldn't help but laugh too. She chased me and mum and dad today and hosed everything and then got the paintbrush and was happily painting with 'special paint' or as i like to call it, water.

We've been to Manly too. Believe it or not we have a Manly in Qld as well. not quite as busy as in sydney though or as pricy. Best fish and chips ever at Manly. The photo dosen't come out very well but it was a spectacular spot. Anyone wanting to visit here soon, i recommend it highly. It looks out across the Bay towards Morton Island and Nth Straddie. I think there is also an island call Cutchie Mudlow or something like that too. what a crazy name.

and then there is this photo - no reason to add it other than i think it's cute. Kirrily loves the "wee wee's" or the swings in English. Wee wee's because i guess she goes weee weee weee on them. this was one of our 1/2 hr rides we had at Golden Beach. There's just not stopping her.
