Twas the night before Christmas

And a lovely night it is too....
The Christmas tree has everything it needs....
everyone is tucked up in bed (except me obviously).

It is a beautiful night outside...  A gentle summer storm, a bit of lightning and thunder, but nothing scary.  Just enough to keep it cool.

To everyone who I care about - have a great Christmas!

On vacation at Caloundra.... Awesome stuff!

Been a good school year.

Last night we had Zak's graduation from Primary School.

He managed to get the Arts award (tied with a very worthy "opponent"), and the Dux for the year.

That combined with his sports award for.... wait for it..... Chess(!), and his winning of his year in the Drama competition, all adds up to being a good result for the efforts he put in this year.

Between that and Xan getting an academic award along with his swimming age champion...  I think we can chalk up the 2014 school year as a good one!

Well done boys.  We are proud of you.
