Natalie's Party

Hi all. I would have put this up sooner but with all the storms around we have been without internet for most of the weekend (oh my goodness, Stuart and I almost died!!!), but we're back in touch with the world now.

Natalie had her birthday party on Saturday. She has made a vlog about it if you're interested, click here. In the end she had 8 little peeps to swim with her, one friend from school, a couple of other girl friends from church circles and all three Stotts. It was a great party because all we had to do was sit, drink and watch.
After the swim Amber and Hayden came back and made pizzas for lunch (yum) and had birthday cake and a play. Then Hayden went home and Amber stayed over for the night (yes, Natalie's first ever friend to sleep over). Was very cute, Natalie and Calvin went to sleep very quickly, Amber took a little bit longer, but she slept fine after she'd climbed into bed with Natalie!
The wind here was unbelievable Saturday (there is some video of it in Natalie's vlog).
Natalie survived her weekend though I suspect that she is not 100%. She has gone to school today but I foresee an early night (for all of us). Stuart has flown off to Adelaide for a meeting today and we'll pick him up from the plane at 5pm so that he can rush back to school here for a tea and parent thing! He's discovering that being AP makes you very busy, but he's enjoying the work. Calvin and I are still recovering from illness. I think Calvin is almost better, but with the party and leading church Sunday night I'm still a way off from being healthy.
At this stage we're planning to go out for tea on Wednesday (Natalie wants to go to a restaurant). Six years has come around very quickly.

Hope that you are all well.

Hi Honeys All

... not sure what happened there! Anyway, I'm here now! Life's got rather hectic lately, as I'm sure you can all relate to! I've learned this week that I get a lot more done when i leave my computer off occasionally, so I'm trying to just put it on every other day, deal with what's there, and turn it off again! So please forgive me if I don't reply as soon as you think I should!
I've been working a bit, helping Helen with catering at Toc H camp - first shift I made choc self saucing pud - for 70! And last night I made custard ... with a whole packet of custard powder! This week I've been mostly getting breakfasts and preparing rolls for them to take on their walks ... for 25 - just a little group! Helen and I seem to work well together, and of course I like pay day too!
I've also made a quilt to sell on the stall that will be at church on election day, so am pleased to have that done! Hard to believe the Walk is only a week away ... my Talk will be over this time next week! But still plenty for me to do!
Dad's well, and busy - trying to read more of those things he has to read before he goes to Brisbane in a fortnight, as well as everything else!
Hope you're all well, and school, kindy, uni, work, and life in general are all going as smoothly as possible! Love and hugs Mum

Thanks for a great holiday too.

Our Holiday Film

Howdy folks,

just wanted to let you know that Debbie has put together a movie from our trip to Victor this week. Click here to watch it.

(I know I could embed it in the blog, but if you go to Youtube then you can sign in, rate it, favorite it, and subscribe to Debbie's videos.) It's important to rate videos because that gets them onto the first page in the category, which makes them more likely to be viewed by lots of people.

Happy Birthday Uncle Stu!

Hope it was a super day! Sorry we're not cool enough to make you a fancy video but we were certainly thinking of you and send warm wishes and hugs. It will be lovely to see you next week! Love Heth, Al, Jacob and Sam xoxoxox

Happy Birthday Stuart

Today is Stuart's birthday and his sneaky wife organised for John Green to make a video for him (and he actually did!!!). See! Also, the kids and I made a little video for Stuart here.

Not a lot of plans for the day. Rest is high on the agenda, but it should be a good one.

Here are also a couple of pictures from the Noonan wedding on the weekend.







Love and hugs to all.
