Spring has sprung

Last weekend we got together with some wonderful friends from our high school years. Peter and Kathy flew up to Brisbane for the weekend and Antony and Anna came over as well to catch up on old times and recent events. We had a great day and could have talked the whole weekend given the chance! It was so nice to see good friendships become even better and we all agreed that we would do it again next year. Something to look forward to. Here is a photo of all of us out to dinner at Bulimba.


Around this time last year, my sister gave me a gorgeous flowering orchid. It flowered for so long I almost wondered if it was a fake but eventually the flowers fell off, the stalk shrivelled and all that was left were two leaves. I looked after it rather badly and didn't expect it to do anything ever again after its below standard treatment throughout the summer but lo and behold out of the blue these gorgeous flowers emerged. Orchids are so beautiful! Thank you again Estelle!

Following last weeks premiership victory E's soccer team played in the semi-final against The Gap where they were expected to win easily. Most unfortunately they lost the game and missed out on a place in the grand final. Ironically the top 2 teams were ousted in these semis and 3rd and 4th place will play next week. E was philosophical though, as were Dragan and Dean (coaches) and the team now is looking forward to the GC Cup at the end of September for their next challenge.

Father's day for us was a beautiful sunny spring day and we celebrated down at the park flying kites and kicking a ball around. (The boys never get tired of that!) Adam was still able to dominate the play but his days may be numbered as champion as all the boys grow up so much every year!

Happy Father's Day to both our Dad's - you are amazing and we love you very much!
