Our Cabin

This cabin was our first home in Hamilton. We spent almost 7 weeks here. It was so small you were forever tripping over something or someone! But we made the most of it and had lots of fun together.

Merry Christmas to All!

Sending you our very Best Wishes for

a very Happy Christmas

With lots of love,hugs and kisses

Yesterday Jarred, Kloe and I made banana cake and little christmas tree's (Jabiru Style - couldn't get any white chocolate or any fancy sprinkles!!) They still taste really yummy!

Mamakula

After heading out to the crossing last night we decided to go down to Mamakula and see how many birds were there. It was very disappointing with only a few. However there were heaps of wallabies feeding. The kids all loved, spotting and watching them. We even got to see a joey....oh so cute! Well worth the drive.

Cahill's Crossing

Last night we went for a drive down to Cahills's crossing - not much action going on, no croc's to be seen! Only a Micaela and Zac seen to be holding hands and getting along - now that's an interesting site!!!!!!!!

On the Move

The logistics of moving a family of six across the country especially around Christmas/New Year proved to be a difficult task!! Many scenarios were thought about and looked into! And this is what they have come up with.

27th December - Transit house is available (All meals supplied)
28th December - House Packed
29th December - Upload (Pack everything on the truck)
- Chris' last day of work
30th December - Drive into Darwin
- Fly Qantas, Darwin to Alice Springs, Alice Springs to Melbourne
- Spend the night at the Hilton Melbourne Airport
31st December - Fly Melbourne to Portland, Portland to Mt Gambier by Regional Air
- Pick up hire Landcruiser and drive 1 1/2 hrs to Hamilton
- 2 bedroom apartment awaits us to celebrate New Years!!!!

We have a 2 bedroom apartment for two months while we find ourselves a house - I think we will be finding a house really quick!!!

We are all excited but also a little sad. Jabiru has certainly been challenging but it does grow on you and we will miss a lot about living a very simple life. But the possibitities of living in a bigger town (approx 10,000 - yes I can hear you all laughing!!!) is exciting. Oh, to be able to grocery shop without having to drive 5 hours to do it, being able to have a letterbox and a real rubbish collection, oh the list goes on..................................

Last Day of School

Last Day of School for 2006 - Goodbye Jabiru Area School and Jabiru Kindy

I am a cruel Mother!!

Jarred not getting his own way!! Kloe and Jarred were playing snap and Kloe was trying very hard to explain the rules to Jarred but he wasn't listening.... he wanted all the turns!

Jarred has been dressing up this week in many clever ways. Tuesday was shopping bags

Um.......A Library Duck????
