Hi everyone, It's Casey news time........ We have been back a couple of times to see "Kylin's band" Jock sets up a mic stand for him now and the guys are allways happy to see him.
Kylin n Brodie snuggling up to watch the night garden.
The mummies got to go out for dinner for Filiz's 40th birthday.
First time some of us had been out for ages, it was fab!
(Filiz has had her hair straightened if you're wondering why she looks so different.)
Whenever daddy comes home, we make him some yummy bread, Kylin loves to "keep an eye on it" as it mixes and proves.
I have started making our own wine, first batch was from a kit and although it is quite dark, it is a great success. Am getting adventurous now and making another batch from fruit, will see how that goes...........
Last Sunday Kylin and I went to the lagoon with Bindi, Dan and the boys, it was gorgeous. Poor Brodie got sick tho and we all went home, he has been very ill and lost a lot of weight poor thing, he is feeling a little better today so hopefully it'll all be uphill from here.

Here is the wench with Brodie n Kylin.
When Damian was home last time, we went on a spur of the moment fishing adventure. Kylin LOVED it and almost bounced, tigger like off the pier several times through pure excitement. Thankfully we had discussed catch and release on the way there because he thought we would keep the fish we caught as pets. He also thought the bait was a fish he'd caught so we didn't have to take the smelly bait home for a pet.
He flailed the "too big for him" fishing rod around madly causing daddy some angst, but no one got hurt. We stayed until it was dark and were getting ravaged by mosquitoes, who blatently ignored the "tropical strength" repelent we bathed in. It was great fun even tho we didn't catch anything.
Another band photo - Kylin just adores Jock.
Halloween dress up day at pre-school, and although mummy had visions of a little pirate, Kylin had other plans and insisted on going as a bee........just too cute!
Hmmmm didn't have time to race out the front for this shot. Amazing - it was like the end of the world or something. Day turned to night very quickly.
In other exciting news, I have been contacted by the bone marrow registry because I have come up as a preliminary match for someone needing a transplant. It's early days yet, I will need to do further tests to determine how closely I match the recipient. I have everything crossed that I am a good match and can donate. It's such an incredible feeling to think that I might be able to help someone like this.
