Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary! To celebrate, Megan and I left Grace with Nan and Pop, and went out for a pizza at Centerpoint Pizza in Kiama. They’re always fantastic. We had intended to then see Serendipity at the Shellharbour Cinema, but we got there late and had to be content with The One.… Continue reading 3rd Wedding Anniversary

Kiama Show 2002
I entered four photos in the Kiama Show this year, and won a Highly Commended award for one of them. I’m hoping to have enough photos by next year to enter something in each category. Megan and I went down to the show tonight to have a look around. The pavilion exhibits were pretty good… Continue reading Kiama Show 2002
Lord Of The Rings
Wow! Getting mentioned on the front page of Joel On Software really kicks your hits! I got 3,300 pageviews that day, and several thousand more over the next couple of days. Thanks, Joel! Megan and I left Grace with Nan and Pop for a few hours this afternoon, and went to see Lord Of The… Continue reading Lord Of The Rings
Grace Gaining Weight
Grace got weighed at the clinic today – she’s put on 375 grams this week. Chubber!
Garden Visitors
Birds Cockatoos descend upon the sunflower patch most days around dusk to gorge on the seeds.

The kookaburra usually visits in the morning, eats a few worms or a… Continue reading Garden Visitors
Meeting Great-Grandma
On her third attempt, Joyce finally made it through the bushfires to Kiama to meet her first great-grandchild. At the end of a thoroughly enjoyable day, Joyce still couldn’t believe she’s now the mother of a grandmother! Joyce’s first cuddle with Grace: Four generations together for the first time: Of course, everyone else wants a… Continue reading Meeting Great-Grandma
Grace Meets Great Grandma
Joyce, my grandmother, travelled up from Malua Bay (near Batemans Bay) today with Mum, Dad and Todd. Grace is her first great-grandchild, so she was understandably anxious to meet her. Only the bushfires down south have been able to keep her away this long! Joyce still can’t believe she’s the mother of a grandmother.
Grace’s Welcome Home Party
On the Friday after Megan and Grace were discharged from hospital, we invited our neighbours, family and some local friends over for drinks. It was a great opportunity to catch up, have a chat, and introduce Grace to the people she’ll be terrorising over the next few decades. The number of kids at these get-togethers… Continue reading Grace’s Welcome Home Party
Grace Discharged
The midwife told us we were likely to be allowed to leave today! After a seemingly endless procession of doctors, nurses, counsellors, etc came to see Grace and Megan and sign off on our discharge papers, we were finally allowed to check out at about 2pm. It was a long hot drive home, and fortunately… Continue reading Grace Discharged
