Well Christmas is nearly upon us, I've finished work for 3 weeks (have Xmas off this year great) and Ethan's last day at school.

Pam, boys and myself are off to Perth on 18th Dec then down to Bussellton for the Xmas week, joined by all of Pam's family. Cara who is now back living with us but is not coming as she is still looking for work in Sydney and will spend the Christmas with my family at Kangaroo Valley.

Ethan was awarded a school medal this year (1 of 10) for excellence in behaviour and school work. let's hope it lasts. Mason is now crawling around and pulling himself up on everything, as well as getting into all the cupboards and shelving.
Cara had a job in the city up until last week, they asked her to leave due to a personality conflict with her supervisor. Ask me I think the supervisor should have been sacked for harassment, but these new John Howard laws for small business.

We are off to Woy Woy/Umina on 16th Dec to have pre Xmas lunch with my family and Howorths', we won't have time to catch up with everyone so hope to see the others sometime in the New Year when we return from the west.

If I don't see you before hand have a merry Christmas and happy New Year everyone, will post some new photos when I return from holidays.

All the best
Bob.
