January Catchup

I can't believe that I have somehow missed blogging the month of January. I will try and do a recap of the month. First off we travelled to Melbourne for my niece's wedding. It was beautiful, as weddings usually are! Here are the happy bride and groom!


Hannah also scored herself a job delivering catalogues. Her normal round is 500 houses in a nearby suburb, once a week. The catalogues are delivered Sunday morning, folded in the afternoon and delivered Tuesday. As well as her 'normal' round, she also delivered for several others while they took a holiday. One week she delivered to 1500 houses on the Tuesday and then 1000 on the Saturday. All three children help fold the pamphlets, then Hannah and Michelle deliver on bicycle. On the big rounds, everyone has been involved in folding and delivering. All the children appreciate the extra "pocket money" and we believe that they will gain a lot from doing the round - perseverance being the main one in this hot weather.

As it has been the summer holidays here, the children have enjoyed time with their cousins and friends. This involved trips to the beach and swimming pool and simply spending time with each other. All good things come to an end however and it is now back to school for the younger two and off to TAFE (further education) for Hannh, although she doesn't start for a couple of weeks.

I enjoyed the holidays but as is usually the case, it is good to get back into a routine and settle in to "life" as we know it!
