Sunrise at Cronulla

During the school holidays, we promised the kids we would go down to Cronulla to watch the sun rise over the water.

This provided Jess with lots of opportunities to take some nice photos:

There was some cloud on the horizon, but it was still pretty spectacular:

We had a beautiful breakfast at a sunrise cafe, then we went for a walk to Bass & Flinders point, overlooking Port Hacking to Bundeena:

The water looked so pretty at that time of the morning; we could have been anywhere in the world!

Granny & Poppa Return

After spending Christmas on Norfolk Island, Granny and Poppa returned home late last night.

So we invited them over for Dinner, to see us settled into the new house for the first time.

Jacob waiting in the "Lobby Bar" for them to arrive. Multiple Lasagnas (or is that Lasagnii?) cooking in the new oven Desert at the Table, with our new Knife Block in the background (Thanks Tina!) Day out at Bundeena Today, we decided to go for a ferry ride to Bundeena, and discovered that you don't have to go far from home to see beautiful places:

Jake and Mike were treated with some "boy toys" on the beach:

And the trip back was just as good - it was a lovely day out together!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Last night, Jess had some friends over, and we watched the fantastic fireworks displays in Sydney on the Tele, accompanied by sounds of locals setting off flares along our river out the front.

Kate had unpacked some sparklers (that have probably come from this site 10 years ago), and to our amazement they worked: So we cheered in the New Year with sparkle and colour.

Lets hope this is a good one for everyone.
