brunch and other things....

i was lucky enough to get down to wilson's prom twice in the last 6 months though my recent holiday was much less physically strenuous than the last!!  shannon and i took the kids down for a couple of days over school holidays.  while the weather wasn't perfect, we still managed to have a great time!  from my perspective, highlights include hiking to squeaky beach and watching the kids 'accidentally' get soaked in the surf, arriving at the top of mt. oberon in the fog and mist only to have it pass and give us a glimpse of the bays before clouding over again and finally, being interrupted by a wombat whilst playing cards in the tent one evening!  i'm sure everyone else has their own special moments...  i'm confident that one of hannah's was getting to sleep in my cute little tent! 

we also celebrated our first year anniversary (twice)!  we had a very civilised brunch at the windsor hotel, just the two of us.  it was a really nice wedding present from shannon's aunt and uncle!  we also took the kids out for a nice pasta dinner to celebrate.  in case anyone's wondering, with our $10 present limit, i got shannon some fabulous presents!!  a ream of fsc certified, 100% post-consumer recycled office paper, a candy ring as he's lost his wedding ring and some violet crumble which is like crunchie for those unfamiliar ;)  

we've been busy with a variety of other family friendly things such as swimming at a local pool, bike riding and rock climbing.   while with the grown ups, we hosted a night at the comedy with 20 of our closest friends, we've had birthday and housewarming parties and other random nights out with friends. 

we've definitely changed seasons and i've started to notice the temperature in the mornings when i get on the bike is rarely over 10 degrees...  it'll soon be time for an extra layer and gloves!! 

i hope you're all enjoying your own personal seasonal changes!

hugs to all!
