Wow, it's November already and I haven't updated since August, bad bad blogger here!

Lots has been happening in the home life, racing season is upon us again so we saddle up for another 6 months of traveling around the state with good friends for the occasional squirt in the dirt, and of course the social life that comes along with it!

The kids are in the last term of school for the year, the big one is finalising VCE subjects, (how did that happen!) the middle one is headed into that dreaded Year 9 and trying to decide what she wants to do as a career, and the baby has taken to school life like a duck to water. He has become quite a proficient reader and will read anything and everything! The middle one is 1 year into her orthodontic treatment and the change in her teeth is amazing, the whole shape of her face has changed and we can see the progress. She has handled it well, poor chicken has a mouth full of metal and will have for another 2 years.

I had entered the Centro smile competition at our local centre this year and was lucky enough to be voted the center's winner! I picked up a pretty cool Nikon Coolpix P&S camera, which is great because I don't have to lug around the 50D for some quick snaps now! I haven't had a compact camera for over 4 years! The screen is huge, bigger than the 50's screen. :)

We had a thunderstorm here the other night, it went for nearly 2 hours. So out came the tripod, camera and remote in the hope for that elusive bolt of lightning. I managed to get a couple, this is one of the best I got!
