Hi Corrine, Paul, & Baby Murphy,

No news must mean you are still in tact Corrine with no sudden weight loss due to baby Murphy's arrival. At least now during the day you have Carolyn with you as being home on your own waiting seems to make the time go so slow. 

Everytime the phone goes now we rush to answer in case its baby news.
The phone rang at 11pm last night and I thought it may be baby news but it was just Gilford to celebrate the soccer result with Kieren. Kieren, Frank, Jess & Hayden werent back at that time but were absolutely elated with results and on a high when they returned.  

A couple of weeks ago we took the boat out and cruised upto Brisbane Waters and stopped at Woy Woy for fish & Chips for lunch. It was a bit breezy and was taking a bit of time for us to come alongside the jetty. We couldnt get in along side other boats as were been blown around so had to manouvre further up along an elevated jetty where two lovers were smooching. Of the 30 foot jetty we happened to come crashing in nearly crushing their legs. It was so embarrassing, I was driving so Kieren could grab jetty and the lovers ended up moving on as we so rudely ruined the mood. 

The Fishing Competition weekend at Nelson Bay was a great success with the boys catching in total 18 fish. Kieren won the biggest flounder and scored a new Fishing rod, reel and large esky. We had a BBQ Fish dinner on the Saturday night which was yum. 

Last weekend we spent working in the garden at Castle Hill which hadnt had any attention for 4 mths. We weeded, mowed, cleaned the pool, swept and then Kieren and the kids played games in the pool and I watched on from the sideline with a relaxing barcadi & coke after the strenous work in the garden that morning. Water still too cold for me, not bath tempature !!

This weekend Hayden is on on Discovery Camp with local church (same one Jess goes to), then for 3 weeks each Friday night he is invited to Crossfire youth group which Jess goes to but she will be moving on in new year to senior group. Hayden will attend 6 - 8 and Jess 8:30 - 10:30 so it will be dropping one off, picking one up, dropping off other and back again, so our Friday night's will be fun playing taxi !!

On Saturday Jess and I are on our annual ladies shopping day with the females in my family, Mother, sister, Aunt, cousin, daughters, neices etc. at Birkendhead point where we shop til  we drop with lunch in between. Its a nice day out, Jess loves it as she and Sarah go off together with some money to shop and show us all the bargains when we meet up for coffee breaks.

Anyway thats all our November news,

Love to all
