Hmmmm....
This picture of Alfie at day care was sent to my phone last week and provoked some household discussion....

Hornets Humbled ...
On another warm night in Newcastle the curtain came down on another Netball season and so to the hope of back to back championships. In a season littered with bitter rivalries between umpires and players repeating last seasons first place was always going to be a challenge. In the final the Hornets played out a game against last seasons finalists and friends. However it was not to be and the Hornets went down by ten.
The Hornets look to take next season off and take stock, although rumours that the GS and GD have hung up their bibs for the final time to concentrate on "proper sports" can not be confirmed nor denied.

Bathtime Fun...
As I mentioned earlier we've had Liam and Joel over the last two weekends and they did a great job entertaining Alfie. He thought bathtime was much more fun with two nephews to share the tub and toys.
Breakfast with Buddies...
It seems like ages ago now that the old crowd got together for a breakfast one Sunday morning. Its great that the kids are starting to interact with each other and enjoy each others company (... in the most part, Alfie is happy to share most things unless wheels are attached!) Ross and Sara ventured out and found plenty of willing volunteers to hold those new babies...
... Ben in the ball pool.
... Noah takes it easy or is he stuck!
... Alfie looks on!
... Come ere often?
... on the inside looking out!
... Who us???

The Hillsborough Hornets...
It's finals time again for the Hillsborough Hornets, with our Semi and Final on Thursday. We've had a fairly good season only giving up points for a forfeited game we were unable to make and the game the other week when we walked off after half time when things got too rough ... I kid you not! Don't be fooled by the pink bibs! This week looks like we'll play that team again so expect fireworks!
It's pretty much the same faces as last seasons Championship winning team with fine stand in performances from Josh, Mel, Rosco (Former Australian Mixed Netballer!) and Julie. Wish us luck... this looks like our last season for a while so we hope to go out on a high.
What's doing down under?
What's doing down under? you may ask, well the obvious answer is quite a bit, so much so that finding the time, inspiration or motivation to write about it has been a challenge. Here are my list of excuses...
Excuse One: Beth has been pretty much been working full time with me at school and this has meant some very early mornings and late nights. We were often carrying a very sleepy Alfie to the car at 6:45am to get him to childcare for 7am, before doing an about turn to get to school before 8am. School is a good thirty five minutes away and so it's something of a mission, to get everyone up and out of the door, fully dressed with everything they need for the day. having said all that the money is very useful...
Excuse Two: The blogging has also taken a backseat after our camera expired on us. We were lucky to have been loaned Amy and Mitchell's but having seen at first hand the abuse that ours is subjected to we were hesitant to make too much use of it! We found out today that our camera will be resurrected soon and so something like normal service will resume. In short pictures tell a thousand words or so we are told, and with little time and my slower than slow typing speed factored in blogging has become non existent.
Excuse Three: Weekends have also become something of a blur with all the stuff that Beth does during the week (... pretty much everything around the home!) being left until the Saturday. Football training has started and we've had a couple of great house guests in the shape of Liam and Joel for the last weekends. Busy, busy, busy...
Excuse Four: Ross River Fever. Its back and as bad as before, which is about par for the course, it hangs around like glandular fever. Not much fun and without a conventional cure or treatment, so I'm going to try and get some herbal medicines that I've been recommended. I'm constantly tired, lethargic, lack patience and sleepy.... some would say these symptoms are hard to spot in my case!
Having heard all the woes of the Ivey World that here are some much needed updates and a promise to post more often....
