I'm back!

I've been offline for a couple of days with some computer issues and am back online tonight after a visit from the friendly Dell delivery man with a new power cord for my laptop. The old one frayed away from overuse I think!

I have a layout to share and more to come when I get around to photographing them. I am also busy working away at some secretive projects I need to finish and will share them soon.
Monday was Jarred's 14th birthday! My first born is 14 already...amazing!

We took him to the Presets concert on Sunday night as a surprise birthday treat and he had no idea! We took him for a quick dinner and walked on down to the botanical gardens River Stage where the concert was to be held and he was clueless until we handed him his ticket to get in...he freaked! It was so much fun :) Until the next morning that is when I could hardly walk...I am getting old!
Rich was tickled to see his big surprise go off with so much success hehe.

Here is the birthday boy on Monday...



And with his proper birthday present from the whole family...


There was tiramasu torte made by my sister....

And chocolate cheesecake as requested by the birthday boy and made by The Cheesecake Shop....

There were cuddles with cousins......

And there was the passing on of old Ipods to younger siblings.....

Now there's another child in the family who shall be impossible to properly communicate with ...awesome! Like the male deafness genes aren't hard enough to infiltrate.....
