Sunday Night

Well,

The weekend is once again almost over. Work is still keeping Tim & Deb both pretty. Especially since Deb is doing her favourite thing & attempting to write a paper at the moment (insert sarcasm here).

Amazingly this week Tim decided to do something about his expanding waistline & start training with Deb & Heather on Wednesday mornings. At least Tim achieved his goal for the first session - complete the session without passing out or throwing up. Softball season kicked off this weekend & Tim's team had a fairly easy win against the bye this week :)

While Deb & Heather went to the beach this morning, Tim had the house to himself to watch the big Texas vs Mizzou football game. There may have even been some beer consumed. After all, it's important to stay hydrated in this warm weather.

Seven week's today & we'll be on a plane to Texas to visit Jane, Jerad, Amy & our newest niece Caitlyn.

The Long Weekend

Hi Again,

Well it's been almost a fortnight since we started our blog & we've been pretty busy. Summer is definitely on the way & the last couple of weekends Tim & Deb have made the most of the great weather by going for walks along the foreshore & breakwall on a Sunday afternoon. For Tim, baseball season is over & softball season is just about to start. For Deb, getting some papers submitted for publication before the end of the academic year is keeping her busy. Deb is getting back into the swing of her training again since returning from Europe & seems to have roped Heather into waking up at un-godly hours in the morning to go training & swimming.

Deb is spending the Saturday of the long weekend shopping with Kate, Julia & Lindsay for Julia's wedding in December. Tim is happily & wisely staying well away from all aforementioned activities. Tomorrow Tim & Deb are venturing down to Sydney with Dave & Jen to the NRL grand final. It's such a pity that it's Melbourne & Manly. Cheering for Manly will be the lesser of two evils & losing a grand final will be the best way to rub salt into the wounds of those whinging babies south of the border.

We'd like to wish our mate Ant in Manchester a very happy birthday for earlier this week. Tim's Mum flies out for Texas today to be with Tim's sister Jane while she has her new baby, a little brother or sister for Amy. Well, no sense in wasting any more of this gorgeous long weekend in front of the laptop.

Talk to you all soon.
