Strawberries


We're sure the strawberries must be on steriods here, hee hee, there are some super big ones out there, I suppose with the heat, they grow super fast. Cody was pretty impressed with this one.

Bribie Island






















Went and visited friends at Bribie Island today, only just over 30 mins from us, the boys spent the whole afternoon in their heated pool. On the way home had a quick look around, went to the park and the waterfront, and watched the kids jumping off the bridge. Stopped at one of the fruit stalls on the side of the road, and bought lots to juice in our juicer, carrots only 8c kg, bought heaps, we'll all be able to see good in the dark.

Finally moved into our rental on Friday, and had all our stuff arrive, also Patch is finally back with the family again, he arrived on Saturday at Brisbane airport, he was very excited to see us. But coming from 9 degrees in ChCh to the early 30's on the Sunshine Coast was rather hot for him, so he had a haircut first thing on Monday, and is now feeling much better.
Cody went over to the secondary campus for school today to study things under the microscope, some of the things they looked at were hair, an ant, and skin, he found it all quite fascinating.
Here is a pic of our first lizard we have found inside, just a small ones, but the kids thought he was pretty cool.

Cody's first tooth gone


Cody lost his first tooth on the train at the Big Pineapple today, after he first got bit by a pig - ouch. He is very excited that the tooth fairy will be coming tonight. Here is a pic of him just before it came out.

A look around Sunshine Plaza

First day at school







It's the boy's first day at Chancellor State College today, everyone seems really friendly there. Cody is in Year 2 and Olie is in prep, they have been buddied up with other children for the day, and made to feel really welcome. It seems strange having both boys at school now, hopefully I'll have a chance to get over this dreaded flu that I thought was going, just onto another dose of antibiotics.
