Long time no Post

It's been a while since my last post, things were busy and seem to now be slowing down a little. The kids finished school early June and we were so ready for it.

A major part of our days are spent in the pool or in the comfort of the a/c

We spent most of May and early June at Liam's baseball tournaments, l think we had like 3 weekends in a row doing tournaments. The boys have done so well and have come home with 2nd place trophies a few times.

I'll try to catch up on some of the things that happend during my blog absence.

For Mothers day: We went to Chicago for a weekend trip. Darren's favourite band Crowded House was playing there and so we decided to take a trip to the Windy City since we had never been. What an amazing place, absolutley loved it. It reminded us so much of Melbourne, with it's grid planed streets and full of so many great architectural buildings, not to mention the flowers that were on display and all the cool street art.

I was also busy planting some colour in our garden and getting it ready for Summer .

On Fathers day, we had a nice relaxing day at home, Darren wanted to watch the Golf, and get some fruit trees to plant in our yard. So we now have an Apricot, Nectarine and Apple tree and the kids are already asking when the fruit will come in.

Next week Darren and I are off on a 4 day trip to Napa Valley with our good friends, the Fentons and the Oakleys. This trip has been planned since early last year when we realised that we were all about to turn 40 by the end of September 2008. Thanks to our friend Matt who is in the wine business we are getting to stay on a winery, and be wined and dined. So looking forward to this.

l'm still going strong on my Photo a Day, and l have uploaded some more photos on the side bar slide show, feel free to take a look. I promise to be better with the up keep of the blog. For now, l'll be off it's getting late and my bed is calling me.
