In celebration of the end of Mae's soccer season which she got a medal for completing . We decided to go to the Sydney FC soccer match with some friends of ours.

Mae was so excited that I could barely keep her in her seat! it was really fun. Here are a bunch of pics from our adventures.

Ok, having some minor technical difficulties here. I'll get back to you on that.

Other than some "minor" IT issues (destroyed my hard drive, my mail database has decided to go bananas . . . ) things are great. One more week and the Uni course that I'm doing will be done. I think I'll do alright. Good fun.

Anyway. I've got to do some work, I'll get back after.

Well we had quite the surprise this weekend, Mom and Dad Hobs came to visit! When they pulled in the driveway with their new explorer we had no idea who it was, once we figured it out we had tears of joy! We were very happy. We had a fun weekend, Hal gave them a tour of the firehall (if you can look close enough, his firehat says Hobenshield). We toured around the lumber mills, went up to Marten "Mountain", a mountain for around here anyways... Mom and dad took us out for dinner for me graduating from nursing, it was really good..., we went boating, got to talk to Ryan, Meli and Mae and see them over the computer, a treat for mom and dad ( and us too). We just had a really nice time, mom helped Hal plan our new deck which was nice because I am not good at that sort of stuff, and Mikey and Briela got to do lots of squirrel chasing! lots of fun, as always we look forward to our next visit...

lots of love to everyone, Hugs and kisses, Hal & Lisa
