to try and keep up with the Jones ... well, at least keep up with the blogging on our little piece of webspace here!!  :P

 

hey ya guys!

 

yes, well, not sure if we told you guys, i think we did!?!? anyways, malia got sick last week and then so lovingly passed it on to all of us and so far, we are all still sick! yay! it has been oh so much fun!! oh well thats life. so because of that and then because also of Isabelle's birthday on the 19th and then her party on the sunday after the 19th, things just went from one thing to another, relatively quickly ... indeed ... thats life.

 

as you can see from the photos off to the side there a good time was had by all. ending up with some much needed rest at the end of the afternoon. that was nice!

 

well not much to report as thats been about it this last week;

the kids have been sick and so they have also been cranky and whingy and tired ... all the good things!

i've been working - last week and half coming up now for my IT Tech job.

looks as though we won't have to move real soon now as the contract that was on the house has fallen through, so we should get at least another 4weeks in this place!

and

well, yeah thats about it!

 

so with that, why not go check out our photos, look at the video - thats an awesome one that one is ... if you like ninjas!! and we'll come up with some new and fantastic for next time, well, we'll try  ;)

 

have fun now,

Dan (and the rest of the sickly household)

hey ya folks!

 

ok, well, looks like sorry is in order to start off with. I know its been like 18days since our last post and the reason for that is, well, lets just say our easter didn't go as well as it has in previous years; the "hostiles" were out in force! But that aside now, things are looking up and looking like being back to normal.

 

all the chocolate is gone now (thank heavens) from easter ... i'm back doing my IT Tech contract work (only 2 weeks to go now though) ... Max is ploughing through his school work (he really does love it) ... Malia and Isabelle are still making sure they don't get left out of anything ... and our lovely, beautiful Marcie is holding the fort up just wonderfully!

 

mind you though, don't know how much longer Marcie will be holding this fort up for!?!?!? if you have not heard, we are only renting at the moment and our landlord has decided to sell. the house was put on the market a couple of months ago now and while it doesn't look like being sold any time soon, you never can tell when that SOLD sign will go up! our lease actually runs out on the 12th of May, so we may very well just pack up and head out regardless, meaning, the option to sign another 3mth lease is there if the house is not sold by 12th May, but we both don't want to just keep on hanging on and waiting. we just want to keep on moving forward!

 

so yeah, life keeps on moving and happening ... even though we wouldn't mind a little rest or holiday every now and then!!

 

anyways, shall sign off for now so that i can go and fix up a couple of other things on our webspace here. promise i will try and not leave it so long until next time. so in the mean time, have a look at the new photos i've just uploaded!!

 

enjoy,

Dan + Marcie (Max, Malia + Isabelle)

Evenin' folks!

 

well, here we are ... start of another week and just into yet another month. can you believe it?? a whole quarter of the year is already gone. oh well, that just means my birthday is even closer now!! wether thats a good thing or not - we'll see!!

 

anyhow, yes, friday i went out to stanthorpe like i said earlier. that was good fun. the install only took a few hours like i thought it would, but the drive was nice, especially in the early morning. nothing quite like our aussie landscape! its tops.

 

saturday was working on selection criteria (SC) all day long - yuck! its the first time i've done it. normally i stay away from jobs that require SC. which i suppose is part of the point of SC. i guess the employer only has to worry about those who really want to put in the effort, i suppose. thats not the reason why i don't do them though. its just trying to come up with all the right politically correct words for the SC and to "embelish" the real things. besides, i'm the kind of person who prefers to just get the job and do the job well - even better so, if i can! trying to pull apart a particular job and put that into words just isn't up my alley i guess. oh well, that was saturday.

 

sunday was finishing up that SC, that is, after going to church. my Dad got baptised this sunday just passed and it was also our senior pastor's last sunday before leaving for Townsville to take up a senior pastor role up there. so it was a mixed emotions morning on sunday. sunday afternoon, after we had lunch, i got stuck back into the SC. however, this time, my friend came over to help me with it - the same friend who put me onto the job (Thanks again Rich ... you're a lifesaver!). so that went until about 9ish with lots of catching up in the between times, as well as eating pizza and watching a great show "The IT Crowd" --> if you're a geek / nerd / just love computers, then this show is for you! <-- but we did get it finished. all that was left for me to do by the end of the night was to just re read over it and fix up any spelling and grammatical errors i found.

 

so that brings us up to today, monday. earlier this afternoon i emailed off the SC and my résumé and the application form and so now i just get to wait it out. hopefully it won't take too long, but we shall see - it is a government position afterall! and what other lovely things happened today?? well marcie and i are pretty sure that all 3 kids are crook or are getting crook (that is sick) - so they were all feral today which made life, ahhh, so very very pleasant!! oh well such is life!!

 

and here we are now at 7pm on monday night. time to just kick back and relax now. might watch some IT Crowd now that i've been thinking about it or i might go and save the world for a bit (thats code for play a computer game) or i might upload some new photos that aunty amy and aunty fran took of the kids from sunday!?!?!? what to do, what to do!! well, i think i might try and get them photos up hey! need to be updating the site with more than just more ramblings from me!!

 

so until next time, enjoy the new photos and have fun,

Dan (and the Sick Fam)
