Well it's been a busy month since my last post. Jack celebrated his 13th month yesterday by standing up all on his on and thinking about taking a step - but still did not. I am guessing Christmas Day for the first steps.
After a week that involved me being out on work related social activities every night...I was ready for a quiet weekend but no, we've had a hectic weekend.
Saturday:
James had to be at cricket at 7:30am, which Emma told me about at 7:32am. She claims she told me earlier and that my hangover was so severe I just did not hear her....well maybe. After cricket it was off to Bondi for the Sculptures By The Sea exhibition - great fun in the heat/humidity.
In the evening we wandered down to Manly for dinner in the Manly Wharf Hotel and then watched as lots of candles were lit and floated across the sea as part of a Thai full moon ceremony.
Sunday:
Bliss - no kid woke us up until about 8:30am...even Jack. After breakfast I decided it was time to update my golf clubs - clearly they are the cause of my inconsistent swing. I had watched Tiger Woods play on Friday and reckon that he is not that good - I could give him a good game...if I had new clubs.
A quick trip to Drummond Gold, 1 hour on the computer thing they have and I now have a new set of Mizuno irons. Have not told Emma yet.....don't think she reads the blog.....
A bit of painting (poolside bathrrom) then an hour or so on the beach...followed by golf for James and I (me still with old clubs - new ones getting made in the factory to my specifications - Emma they were cheap, a bargain).
On the 1st hole at Manly, James outdrove me. In my defence I hit a four iron - badly. James creamed his drive down the middle and got a cheer from the group behind us. That kinda set the tone...James driving well, me a little eractic. We only played 9 holes. James won 3 - without any handicap or allowance! My challenge is that he can now drive the Par 3's. If I miss he is often on the green....
He is only 9.....God help me in a few years. I hope the new clubs work!!
I've posted a few snaps to update you on everyone....you may not recognise James...he got a haircut.
Jack had his own mini ice cream - and LOVED it. Biggest smile and giggle.
James is looking very grown up with his new hair cut.
Olivia...serious as ever. Olivia got the results of her Ballet Exam this week - passed with Honours. She also had her blow test for band - and as a result will be playing the flute next year, which is what she wanted.
