Not exactly daily updates...

It's been a long time since we posted anything. For that I am sorry.

In the middle of August we went and bothered the Lyons' for a couple of weeks and to get away from Canberra. We had an enjoyable time and it was nice to catch up and enjoy a little warmer weather. Krys and the kids flew up and I took the car (dropping them off in Sydney on the way up and picking them up the day after I got back which worked out well.

MJ has Chicken Pox. The poor little guy came down with a few spots on Friday and today (Sunday) it's in full swing. It hasn't affected him much during the day, but Saturday night he woke up crying his eyes out cause he was so itchy. He had a very restless sleep, but has been great again today. Hopefully tonight will be a little better for him. He seems quite proud of his spots, and looks quite weird wandering round covered in Calamine lotion looking like he has the plague.

Jessica is doing well. She isn't sleeping so great, but Krysti has started a new diet in the hope that there is some additive that we can cut out that might be affecting Jessica in some way. Fingers crossed. Jess is very fast crawling around now. She can also stand unaided from sitting and has her two bottom pegs. Check out the pics on Flickr (right).

We are trying to decide whether Krysti should go back to work since her Maternity leave is drying up. She would only go back part time and given the cost of childcare for 2 children for 3 days a week each, as well as the hassle of getting them up and ready, fed, watered and packaged up means it wouldn't be all that worthwhile. Krys has asked for unpaid leave for a while longer, hopefully until MJ goes to preschool. We'll see.

I have a new project: Easy PC Tips. The goal is to offer info and advice to the less tech savvy user, given them a few basic tips and advice on how to get the most out of their computers as well as introducing a few applications that people mightn't be aware of that they may find interesting.

I've seen a reasonable number of visitors to the site, but its early days yet. Anyone needing PC tips and advice, should take a look. Tell your friends!

This was just a quick update to ease my guilty conscience... Sorry again for the delays in posting. Check out the new website and if you need to reach us, you can now leave me voicemail messages in Skype

May not quite be daily updates, but we'll aim for at least once a month! ;-)
