Lovely Autumn

The weather has been good - nice, sunny and warm. Apparentely the water is around 22 still, but we havent been at the beach for a while. The kids are on Easterholidays and they are very happy just staying at home doing different things in their rooms, or by the computers - just relaxing and enjoying not having to go th school.
Still 8 days left of the holidays - and then they are only at school for 2 days until it is a bankholiday.


Oliver is now climbing all over the place - preferably onto tables - a little scary as we have tiles under all our tables, and he gets very angry when we remove him.

Easter we spent away - Niclas was sailing in the IC nationals on the central coast, about 2 hours drive north, and we camped there. All five of us in one big tent. It would have been great had the weather been favourable - but it RAINED - for two days - was only dry on the last day. It didnt help that Oliver had over 40 c in fever for most parts of the trip too.....
But now we are all recovered from this trip. Photos on flicr.

Otherwise planning the future here in Sydney - should we buy a house, land to build on or stay put?
House in London is going out on the market soon.

Some thoughts

Autumn is here and it is a little cooler, especially the winds, the sun has been shining this weekend but chillier and we have worn jeans and shoes for the first time in a while (feels a little odd).

Otherwise baby Oliver grows quickly - it is amazing how much babies learn in their first 12 months. Seems as if he was just a little helpless baby and now he is almost running. He is just such a little person - but with so much to learn - and it must be very frustrating not to be able to communicate properly - as Jess said - what if you dont want what people try to stuff into your mouth at mealtimes - what do you do?? Well Oliver has a nack for that too - just spit it out if you even let i pass you lips....

Yesterday we saw a (for us) new spider - it looked like a twig had got stuck inbetween the screendoor and the door - but when I looked closer - it was too symmetrical for being a twig - then I thought it might be a stickinsect, though smallish, it had 4 legs, but when Jess went to help free it she said it was "stuck" in spiderwebb - and then it had 8 legs suddenly.
Fredrik went onto the internet and found it was a stickspider - luckily not dangerous to humans. But it looked cool.
