Our new home

We've just heard today that we have a place to live in Perth... We're only about 1 km from our old house in Floreat. Heaps of room for visitors, so start booking those flights.

Next week the removalists come, so it's goodbye to Victor Street. We're both looking forward to a couple of weeks travelling around Qld to Carnarvon Gorge and Fraser Island - before we leave sunny Qld.

House and Garden

We've had a flurry of activity on the house. Gone is the fabulous palm tree wallpaper in the loo. Now the whole house is freshly painted and looking lovely. Our front yard is also finally the picturesque paradise we've been hoping for. It's hard to believe we've finally got it all looking nice, and now we're going to leave it.

Simon is in Perth for a few days looking for our new house. We've spent a week with VJ since our house was a bit smelly from the painting. She's been a trojan - molly coddling me (I have pneumonia), cooking for us, and being the best aunty in the world to Harrison. He gets so excited to see her. Harrison took his first un-aided steps this week. But he thinks it's a game and much more fun if it ends with him free-falling into someone's arms.

That's all from us.

Harrison during a visit from VJ

We had a lovely day in Toowoomba today, visiting both sets of grandparents.

VJ came up a few weeks ago to give Harrison his first birthday present. Here's one of the snaps she took...
