Grant is learning the piano. Mum is teaching him for now, but next year he will be taking lessons at School. He really wants to play and is really starting to pick it up.

Maggie singing solo at School ANZAC ceremony. You can see Grant just in front of the camera with his blonde top. Mags has just been picked with 4 other children out of 32 Schools to sing Solo at the West Coast Song festival in Novemeber. We are very proud of her. More pics to follow.

April 2008. Grant decided to give blonde streaks a go. Was a bit like pulling teeth but we got there in the end. He insists now on having 2 eyebrows !!!!!

The family grows

Lu-Lu Belle came to live with us in March 2008. She was abandoned and we rescued her from the pound. What a VERY lucky dog . She joins the 3 cats, 3 fish, 2 lovebirds.

York stay

March 2008. We took a drive an hour east to York for a swim meet. Kids had a great weekend at this little farm stay. we stayed in the original barn over 100 years old. Was wonderful inside. Very modern and a nice break in the country.

Wedge Island

This pic was taken in March 2008. We took a drive a few hours North of Perth to Wedge Island for a little bit of "see how the city cars do out in the wild". The kids had a great day as our friends had Quad bikes and jet skis. Was a little windy for the water unfortunatly, but a great day was had and the Pathfinder did all that it was meant to do when tackling the sand dunes.

First Day of School

Harry began High School last week. Grant and Mags are now in Year 7.

A Day At The Beach

What's the weather like where you live? :)
We took a drive about 60 kilometers up the coast just for something to do and ended up at Yanchep lagoon.
