"Resistance Is Futile. You Will Be Assimilated!"



Platypus (Tracy) has now been invested as a Joey leader. Well, she had escaped the assimilation process for 10+ years but now she 'is Scout' :)




Resistance is Futile.
(This makes for 3 couples in the Cub/Joey leaders.)

In stitches!



Here we go again ... Liam decided to have a fall under the house whilst he and Tracy were getting the "Halloween" box out for Stuart's birthday party. After a visit to the Doctor and a trip to the hospital, Liam is the proud owner of 4 new stitches.

I can hear you!


Just before leaving for work yesterday I picked up a phone call from the RCH saying that they had a couple of cancellations and could we bring Liam in for afternoon surgery (Thursday).




Some quick re-org later and we had him in for day surgery this afternoon to have larger gromets installed. He went a lot better this time, perhaps knowing what to expect. The Dr said that quite a bit of fluid drained from the ears. (It probably also helped that Stuart was in for an Op and Kira also attended so there were 3 trouble makers in all.)



Once again the results are immediately observed. As Tracy says, we even had to turn down "Crash Bandicoot" because it was too loud ... hopefully the larger gromets will have a longer term success.

Kidnapped by the kids








Received a phone call this morning to see if I could take the afternoon off work. The kids had decided that we *needed* to visit the zoo! So just after 1:00pm I was kidnapped by the kids to spend the afternoon at the Melbourne Zoo. Considering the time of year we had great weather and surprisingly, the zoo was not too crowded.
