The week that was.




Hi all,


Not to much to report this week, we received heaps of welcome rain over the last week, although it has made the grass grow very quickly.


Chris has been visiting doctors all week and has finally got the okay to resume his umpire training, he ended up a bit sore from umpiring two games yesterday but as his fitness improves that will become less of a problem.


Caitlyn and Rosie are busy with their studies, Caitlyn goes on a Biology trip on Wednesday with school. Rosie has an Indigenous Cultural Awareness day on Tuesday, so we will be heading off to her school again then. She is looking forward to seeing her classmates again and learning more about our Indigenous history.


Athalie's Mum went home on Tuesday and she is being missed. Rosie is missing her the most because they spend so much time together when she is here.


Well thats all the news this week. Oh Jessica and Abby Sunderland are just about on opposite sides of the world as the both try and make history.


Take care everyone


Tim

Back to school and Pebbles' Puppies




With Chris starting Uni on Tuesday, It's official everyone is back at school!!!!! Here is a photo of Rosina doing a phone lesson with her teacher.

Everything is back to normal in the O'Sullivan household, Athalie's recovery is going well and all scans remain clear. Chris also is recovering well after spending nearly a week in hospital in Ayr with pancreatitis . He started Uni life this week and seems to be really enjoying it and can't wait to get his license. I don't think it's very cool for Dad to be dropping him off. LOL

Caitlyn is doing Year 12 this year and has a heavy work load of study. She is off to Stradbroke Island in a couple of weeks for Biology Camp. She seems to be settling back into school life again.

Rosie is doing really well, we spent the last couple of days in at her school meeting her teacher and fellow class mates. Her little dog Pebbles has just given birth to three little puppies and she is soooooo excited.

Well that leaves me, all is going well Athalie's mum has been down for the past six weeks helping get the kids back to school. She heads home next week and we will all miss her. Aussie Rules starts up in a couple of weeks and my weekends will be busy doing grading for the juniors. I feel more confident leaving Athalie alone for a few hours while i'm out. She always seems to get visits from friends while i am away (only takes a quick call but all her friends are only to happy to spend time with her). Ssshhh :-)
Anyway must go it's starting to get late, oh Jessica Watson is on the way home, she just passed under South Africa and is now in the Indian Ocean heading for Australia. If you havn't already you can catch up with this amazing young lady at http://jessicawatson.com.au/ . It is really worth going back to the begining of her adventure and see how much sailing and planning went into this trip.
Ok bye for now
