Andrew and Karla's Place

It all happens to quickly, week one of three is already gone. Karla and I both had Monday and Tuesday together and managed to get out and have a child free lunch yumcha on Tuesday at the Tingha Palace at the Parramatta leagues club on Tuesday. It was nice and quiet and civilized without us having to tell the kids to be good. Wednesday we had the house air conditioning serviced before our warranty runs out in April, the clean and inspection came back all good with no leaks this time.

On Thursday it was getting the car rego done, this wasn’t so great with an $838.00 bill at the end due to a list of items that needed fixing, plus a check on the oil leak on Monday and having that fixed if the leak is to bad. I did go and see a movie at Parramatta in the VMax cinema, it was Battlefield: Los Angeles. It was ok, very good special effects, a bit grusome in some parts and the story so very typical these days. Story was a mish mash of War of the Worlds, Independence Day and various others and you have the story line.

Also had to get my license redone as my wallet loves to eat and split any cards in it’s care. They did replace it for free as it split on the magnetic strip. I also look very much the crime in the photo.

Friday was just somethings around the house and some grocery shopping.

Today, Karla and Jessie are out at Jessie’s dancing classes, Ballet, Tap and Jazz. Miss J loves all three and does nothing but talk about when her next lessons are. Sophie and I have some us time, while Karla and Jessie are out and about.

Tomorrow will be swiming and off around the shops.

Hope everyone is good and taking care of themselves.

Finally managed to get some holidays from work. I’ve been telling my boss that I am going to take two weeks in March and he kepts asking me when. So when I told him he said. “That’s short notice”. Only been mentioning it since before Christmas.

Anyway, Karla is now also working part time in her job, so she is home on Mondays and Tuesday now, so over the next two weeks we are sorting out the house and getting those things done, which are hard to do with the kids under foot.

Then we will be spending 5 nights in resort up the coast with the kids. Should be good, I know we all need a break.

We all wish you a happy and safe New Year for 2011, from all of us.

It all seems to go so quick these days, but we’ve made it to and past another Christmas.

Hope everyone had a great and safe Christmas.

Best wishes to all from all of us.

Andrew, Karla,
Jessica & Sophie

Finally put up the pictures from our Brisbane trip on the site.

You can find these on the Brisbane trip page.

It was good to catch up with everyone, while we were doing the rounds.

We stayed with my Mum and Sally (the dog), Dad was travelling up from Adelaide in a truck while being followed by a crane. He made it home on the Monday afternoon and Jessie got to see him for a short while.

We also stayed with Jim and Sheelagh and the girls for two nights. Jessie was pretty excited to play with the girls again. Sophie also had heaps of fun with everyone.

We also say Darren and Carmel, Scott and Tammy along with all of the other kids as well.
