An Archie photo update has occurred! Two weeks from today until Archie’s first birthday. Better get the picnic invitations organised!
My brother Sam was on telly tonight in NZ, receiving his band’s award for Best Unreleased Single. Maybe the prize is a record deal! It would make sense wouldn’t it? Go the Phoenix Foundation!

Hello from MetroLand! Me and Jan still have the flu, but Archie seems to be fine, so I guess that’s a step up. He did such good waving yesterday at his Uncle Anthony! We are trying to decide whether to get health insurance, I suppose it’s a good idea but it would be about $120 [...]

Back from the dentist with new heights of numb face reached. I am numb all the way over to my ear and all the way up to my eyebrow! Can your eye go numb? But at least it didn’t hurt, not one little bit!

No idea what the prize is but I believe you can catch Sammy’s acceptance speech on NZ television next week. So congrats Sam and the [...]

Just got a lovely package from my mum, with some photos of me as a baby in it - for purposes of Archie comparison of course! I have added a selection for your viewing pleasure in the Photos/People section. He definitely has my nose!

More Archie pics added, including documentation of his first meeting with his loving Tasmanian aunt, Larnie. Plus an indication of how messy dinnertime can get!
Jan is headed back to work part time at the end of the month but luckily due to shift work we will not have to get any childcare. We should [...]
