Home & lots of things to tell you.

We are tonight staying in our own home. The young couple who look after our house for us have gone away for a week (to Fraser Island) so Dave & I are housesitting for them!!! ;) We are very happy with how they have looked after the house, it's looking really nice (maybe some pics tomorrow!)

We had a lovely afternoon. My little sister kearbear22 come down

Oh WOW! Shelley...so much great news in this post. I can only imagine how nice it must be to catch up with family again after all this time away. Even though you are in contact with them it doesn't beat that physical aspect. I'm sure you would have had more than one glass of champagne!

Having a new car will be wonderful. I'm a bit like you when it gets technical...as long as it gets me from A to B; but a new car is so great and I'm sure that you will love it. Oh, and belated Happy Birthday to Dave!

WOW! A nice new ipod as well. I have never had one and am thinking I'd love one for downloading audio books for when we travel. I might have to ask you more about doing this as I am technically stupid!

And finally a new family member. Congratulations, great Aunty Shelley! Olivia is a beautiful name. Are we going to manage to catch up this time you are home?

Congrats! I would have been as skeptical as Dave, and would have joined you for the happy dance when the mail arrived. I lurve me some ipods too. Well done!

It must be nice to be in your own home, even for a short while. Your house sitters must be very good. What wonderful timing to be there when the little one was born - or was this planned?

Wow, that is one very special birthday present for Dave! No wonder he is a happy man!

Lucky you to have won the iPod. What were the chances of that? You deserve it, Shelley, enjoy it :)

I hope Dave and your son enjoy their charter boat expedition, too :)
