That’s a My Boys

I have a few pictures that I have taken since I have been home.

Here is Riley having some toast, watching the TV.

Here is the boys fighting to get into the car.

Riley again having toast…

Riley and I (taken from my webcam the other day)

Riley on the trampoline the other day.

The ol' album's had a face lift

I finally changed this blog over to the beta format.

If it ain't broke - dont fix it!

Oh well, looks ok :)

First Day at School

Lewis had his first day at school today!

My big boy was cool, calm and collected this morning - no big deal really.

He had a fun day buy hasnt really told me any details.

Back @ Work

Hi, sorry I have not put pictures on here! I will put some more on when I return home again.

Happy 1st Birthday Riley!

Ok, ok

Pre-School Christmas Concert

Lewis had his Christmas concert on Tuesday night - his group sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer (Lewis did not open his mouth or do any movements - apparently too shy)

This is all of the Pre-School'ers (Lewis is on the left with the red shirt on)

This is Lewis collecting his 'Pre-School Diploma'

I will post some more pics later.

Family Photos

We had family pics taken today - here is one of the boys.

Home Sweet Home

Hi, I am home! Got home on Wednesday. Ben and the kids picked me up from Dubbo at about 9:30am and we went and spent some 'Birthday Eve' time with Jen. My birthday was yesterday and I had a lovely time at home with the boys. I will put a pic of the kids on soon - Jen, have you got a scanner? If you do, can you scan the Pre-School pic of Lewis and email it to me?

Nifty

This is a recent arial of the mine. You can see the village on the right-hand-side and i work on the far-left-hand-side of the mine.

Some Photos

This is the dining room (not too shabby)

This is the gym (not used it yet)

This is the village area (see pool in background)

Here is an arial photo of the village. This is an old photo - the village is much bigger. My room is up in the top right hand corner.

Here I am....click to enlarge

Hello From.....Somewhere in W.A

Hi, I am doing fine. The mine site is ok, the village is pretty cool - it has a gym, tennis court, bar, swimming pool, bistro (which looks like a sizzlers) pretty nice spot - real bush-like.

I work 12 hour days (up at 4:30am) go for breakfast, catch the bus to work at 5:30am, catch the bus home at 5:30pm, have dinner, ring ben from a pay phone, then head back to my room and generally asleep by 7-8pm.

2 weeks to go, I will be flying home on Thursday 30th November (great birthday hu?) but I get to see my boys, so that is a good trade off.

Lack of communication up until now. My mobile is with Optus and wouldnt you know...Telstra mobiles work out here! I havent been set up with a computer yet, so no email etc. My boss left today to go to Perth, so I jumped on his computer and here I am.

I have been busting to go to the gym, but dont have enough hours in the day! I wake at 4:30am, which is 7:30am NSW time and finish work at 5:30pm, which is 8:30pm NSW time, so by the time i have dinner and head back to my room, it is so late and my eyes are hanging out of my head.

Food is good, weather is hot, missing everyone.

Take care now
