Well what a fantastic weekend. We had our very best friends from Melbourne join us last weekend and it was an amazing time. Boys, friends, kids and sun sets - beautiful beautiful times. Kath and Craig it was just so good to see you and to show you around our fair city here! I love the Amy photo Dani, who's ordering what there - you or Amy???? Amazing Mario and Lucca one week and you guys the next - just amazing! We really cannot thank you enough for coming to see us all. Let's hope we can and will return the visit favour soon. Love you guys Bri, Amy and Ollie xxxx

Now I thought Ollie was early with PC's and phones and stuff, well here comes the competition - yep they get younger and younger ha ha! Ni you would be proud - check out Amy and her older brother "helping" with lap-top etiquette, bless him.

I'm not sure if she'd get a job at IBM if she treats the lap-tops like that, but hey she's having fun.

Watch out Bill Gates, Amy is after you!!!!

And also poor little Ollie Skywalker, after a busy day battling in the Clone Wars every Jedi needs a rest. I did actually tell Oliver that Darth Vadar knew what he had for Christmas, Ollie asked how did he know - so I said "HE FELT YOUR PRESENCE!!!!" Ha Ha. Hope you like that one Ollie! Rest well Anickan!

Love Daddy

Some classic Oliver updates - a very proud Dad one and a very funny one too. Enjoy.

In his Homework diary, Miss Atima, his school teacher wrote the following today;

"Hi Brian , I had a word with Ollie's Mandarin teacher re his performance. She wants you to know that he is very bright and participates with enthusiasm in her classes. She said that he is at the "top end of his Mandarin class". Hope you're happy! Cheers from Atima"

Well done Ollie - Daddy is very very proud of you mate! See you are being a very good student.

Now to the funny. This is a Mary story that she sent me via SMS today, I just had to share it. So it goes like this, I was working late last night so Mary put him to bed and read him his book. Once she finished the book, they had a little play and then when she said good night he asked if Mary had a husband. She said no. He then said if I was as big as you I can recommend myself as your husband. But since I am still young I will recommend you somebody else but I won't tell you for now.

Classic Ollie, you are so so funny. mary said you made her laugh a lot and she asked how this 7 year old boy thinks like this. You are a star Mr Kennett. You make us smile all the time.

Love you Mister - Daddy 

Mary just sent me this, and I thought it was so nice I would share it; 

"A mother has strengths that amaze us. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid. Her love is unconditional. There's only one thing wrong with her - she sometimes forgets what she's worth. "

Happy Mother's Day beautiful.

With love from your kids Ollie and Amy xxxxxxx

Happy Birthday to me

Well it happened, the wee one became one! 17 kids later, a sweaty Go Go Bambinis experience and some adult enjoyment at Harry's across the road and hey presto we were done! Beautiful day. Great friends came along and I think Amy really enjoyed it, laughing and giggling most of the day and presents - my goodness presents! I am now about to try to upload 17 pictures of her mates that turned up on the day. Here they all are. Love you Amy, and happy happy birthday xxxxxx
