Daylight saving over!

I guess autumn is truly here now - clocks went back last night - and we are all struggling today as Oliver woke up his normal time (was this morning 5 am....). But we managed to keep him up til 8.30 pm and hopefully he will sleep past 7 tomorrow morning.

Saturday was great summer weather, up to 31 c, sunny and humid, and we spent the morning on the beach and the afternoon at a friends pool. Fredrik and Oliver enjoyed all the swimming. Oliver has now taken to "running" (holding our hands) straight into the sea - laughing.
In the evening the southerly winds arrived and the temperature dropped til 21 and this morning it was only 17 - and today has been very rainy.

Oliver is now walking!

Oliver has this week started walking properly - more walking than crawling - and today walked next to me, holding my hand, when we where at the mall. He enjoys his little sandals.
Otherwise what he likes most is anything in the kitchen, brooms, balls and tennisrackets.

Jessica has joined the aircadets, has had her first weekend away - visting the RAAF base closest to us here in Sydney - to get her uniforms and she also had the opportunity to fly in a glider. She loves it, next weekend she is off on her first bivack - something she is mostly concerned about among everything they get to try at the cadets. She is worried about the spiders at night....but parachuting, flying single engine planes, gliding, abseiling etc doesnt concern har much, she is looking forward to all this.

Fredrik is playing playstation, gameboy and reading lots - other then the tennis both he and Jessica plays twice weekly.

I was looking forward to start playing squash and tennis again after the birth of Oliver, but just as I had recovered from that I injured my right elbow - its not working properly and I have to go and see the Doctor next week and see what he says can be done to sort it out.

Otherwise we try to do as much swimming and beaching as we can before the winter sets in. Oliver loves the water and the sand - on the pitcure in a friends pool.

Finally Internet - broadband is back!

We have now got internet back - after two weeks without broadband - wonder what we did before ??

This week has been great - rainy to start with and things got done at home - but it has been warm. Today has been great weather - sunny and 28 - and Oliver and I have been to playgroup with the Swedish mums and visited a friend with a pool. Oliver loves being in the water.

In the afternoon me and the kids went down to our local beach - just 5 mins away by car - and we had a great time. Oliver loves playing in the sand and tried the waves today too.
He is just about to start walking - he practices alot now - soon he will be off. He is careful as his older brother.

Jessica is now an aircadet with uniform and all - she went gliding last weekend - and loved it - and cant wait to fly small aircraft.
