Introducing Samuel Luke Browne

Here's the new bub. He's in special care following a few breathing issues (cord around the neck twice on delivery) but he's fine. Probably be out by tomorrow. Born on the 12th, the day after little Josiah Gadsby.

Something for the Ellie Gell

These are Catherine's new puppies, born to Scout. There were only 3, 2 black and one white but you can see which one I thought was the cutest! Look at their funny squishy faces and fat little bellies! Only one had a name...I think it was Squidge or Splat or something like that. Hope you like them, oh and by the way, they're 2 weeks old.

Nanna and the big prawn!

Nanna and Bob Bob came down for a visit and we went out for dinner at Sydney rowers with Emma and her parents. As you can see Nanna was well fed!

3rd year Houseparty

We had a great time at Deer Park on our weekend away. As you can see watersliding (have you guys been on this one?) and dragon boating! Good fun!

My Birthday

They've been saying at MAC that we ought to phase out door decorating this year, and after this effort, I think I agree!! Nah, it was lovely...very heartfelt!


I had a great day. A surprise lunch with a bunch of girls from college, I seriously had no idea. It was lovely. Complete with birthday cake and all. Then dinner with another cake at Emma's. I was very well taken care of. I even got a pressie from Jacko and Adele with a handmade card! Very swish.


Life in these parts has been a bit dramatic lately. Last week the Nando's chicken joint over the road from Barney's was blown up. Not sure of the circumstances but apparently there was a robbery earlier in the day. Then yesterday there was a fire at Broadway Shopping Centre next to Harris Farm. I don't know what it is about that area!

Today's big news is that Kevin Rudd officially apologised to the Stolen Generation. I thought it was a great speech, no excuses, just a plain sorry. I guess you probably read about it online.
Anyway, better be off. Thanks so much for the pressie and cards, love the bugs El!!!
Toodles!
Love Iss Iss xoxoxoxo

Found a new handyman wandering the corridors...

Noonaweena with EM

As you can see it's a tough life being in full time ministry! It was so lovely there, it's about 45 minutes up the F3. The weather was pretty awful but, as you can see, it didn't stop the boys getting into the spa! This little guy on the left hung on to the glass door for quite a long time. Kinda cute don't you think?
