Catch up... #1

Well it's been quite a few months since I last posted to my blog. I guess I just got busy over the Christmas/New Year period that I didn't get the chance to sit and write. And then I kept putting it off because I knew it would be such a hard and long task to update everything.

Each time something happened over that time I though "I'll have to add this to my blog" but I couldn't add it until I'd updated everything else that happened before it. Then I just decided not to do it.

Karen and Locky flew over on Boxing Day for a little visit. Monique hadn't seen Locky since August, and it had affected Monique. They had been almost inseparable since they were born. 3 years is a long time to have a friend and then they're suddenly whisked away to the other side of the country. After seeing each other at least 2-3 times per week and then nothing... Well the main thing I noticed with Monique was that she didn't like me leaving her at Day Care. Prior to Locky moving she was fine.

We went to Hogs Breath for Karen's birthday. Very nice meal followed by a bit of a play at Time Zone. The kids had a ball.

While Karen was here we organised a get-together with another friend (Marc) who we had only just realised was living 10 minutes away from us, and had been for 3 years! Ben and Marc first met when they worked and lived together in Mount Isa, Qld. And he'd also lived in the same unit complex as Nigel & Karen in Mt Isa too. Such a small world. It's a pity we hadn't found him 2-3 years beforehand as we could've had a heap of great times while N&K were still together.

We're now catching up with Marc pretty much every 2 weeks when he flies home from his fly-in/fly-out job. It's good, he's such a great down to earth bloke and him and Ben take off for a bike ride every so often... The down side is Marc LOVES to ride his way too fast!!!! His girlfriend Sarah is really  nice too. They're trying to talk me into getting a motorbike so I can ride with them all... Hmmm, I don't see that happening anytime in the near future!

Well that's it for Catch Up #1.... Stay tuned for #2 which will include Feb/March and Monique starting kindy and gymnastics :)
