We took our first family holiday as a foursome this weekend – our first time away just the four of us. We stayed in Healesville and went to the Sanctuary. It was only an overnight trip, but we had a wonderful day in and enjoyed the break together.

I’ve been spending a lot of my commuting time lately thinking about the amount of time I spend with my kids, and how best to balance that against my requirement to provide for them, through making a success of my career and my personal self.

We’ve had a tough week with Leo. Our son lost the use of his left leg, without explanation.

It’s time for a confession – I am quite behind on content for this little website and no matter how much I keep putting sticky notes around my desk, I won’t ever find a full day where I can write solidly and catch up on everything.

So here’s my plan at restoring things to up-to-date goodness…

Our boy was born 6 months ago today. What an amazing time it has been.

6 months… it’s gone so quick, and in other ways, feel like it’s been a long time coming. When I think back to the experiences and challenges we’ve faced, it seems a little implausible that they’re all crammed into a 6 month period. But they are, and here we are.
