A Big Time Catch Up....

Life is certainly hectic at the moment. Swimming season is drawing to a close and with todays weather in Tumut, you would think it would be now!

We have been in Sydney for doctors appointments with Kayley and we travelled back home last night to find alot of places around Tumut flooded. There were 11 people rescued and evacuated from their homes last night.

We were suppose to go to Leeton for the Zone High School Swim Carnival but it has been cancelled as towns cannot get through to compete.

The Tumut Show is suppose to be on this weekend. Everything has been cancelled bar the pavilion. It is a shame cause the girls were so excited and looking forward to going.

So in the coming week we will have both girls going to Leeton and Albury for swimming carnivals and Emma has a trial basketball in Albury too.

You might ask how i have scrapped in all this running around. Well it has been hard but i'm going OK....just what i have to get done and nothing for me though...:(

So i better show and tell some....
