even the cds are slimy

The AAMI guy came this afternoon and couldn’t drive his tow truck down to our garage. He’ll bring another one tomorrow. But he tried – but failed – to start the car, even with a jump start kit – so he reckons its a write-off. Just recovered our CDs from the glove compartment … soaked [...]

flood aftermath

We arrived home last night to find our car wet on the inside (yup, on the inside!) Apparently Anzac Pde was so flooded that it made the news, so needless to say our garage in the basement didn’t stand a chance. No car for a little while … will be tricky …

these legs are made for standing (Micaiah September)

Micaiah made the transition from crawling to assisted standing in no time at all! He can now prop himself up on anything at a suitable height, and use his arm strength to balance.

Rocking it with an Elmo guitar!

Here’s a [...]
