Update and Sewing

We've been away for a couple of weeks, here's the report and some other tidbits:
  • we went on a fantastic Lake Dinner Cruise for my dad's 60th
  • we took the boys up the 'rocket' tower in Canberra (Telstra Tower). Isaac was a bit worried it was going to take off.
  • we bought a Dyson vaacuum cleaner (I've been coveting one for a while so this is exciting news)
  • four out of six of us got sick. It could have been the swine flu?!?!
  • we scraped and then painted the ceiling of a bedroom, whilst sick
  • the boys spent hours collecting snails
  • we were able to meet up with 2 friends who live far far away, seeing both for a very brief period of time (but definately worth it!)
  • Isaac has learnt to write his name
  • Caleb is learning to run and is becoming book-obsessed
  • Jem is probably going to end up in the Guiness Book of Records for building then breaking up then building the same Lego Kit over and over again
  • Jacob has begun adding numbers in the down-the-page format, which takes me back to my childhood.
  • PVT is building the steps up to the verandah at our new house

The boys made some cards for my dad for his 60th birthday, using basic sewing. They turned out pretty cool:
