BIG NEWSFLASH!!!!

I'm going to be an aunty! Yes, my little sis is a momma to be and is 12 and a half weeks pregnant. This is such happy news. What has made me laugh though is a story I-Lin told me. She went through half a dozen or so pregnancy test to be sure and made Graeme do one too just to check the tests worked and what a negative result looked like!

Anyway this truly exciting news and I've already bagsied taking the kid to Disneyland!

One of my favourite Christmas presents this year was this great poster from my beloved cousins and little sis.

They posted me three big packages filled with goodies and I was so touched by this gesture. There was even a home made card with pictures of their cute little faces on it.

Anyway I finally got round to putting the print in a frame and I think it looks pretty good.

I'm really excited because my sis (and her bump) and my parents will be visiting at the end of March - whoop whoop. So I've been busy trying to plan things for the visit. We'll be spending a few days in Sorrento in what looks to be like a pretty cool house with a pool and jacuzzi.

Between now and their arrival then we have a whole heap of stuff to look forward to. It's Melbourne Food and Wine Festival soon and Steve and I have a few tickets to things including the Gala dinner. There's also the Grand Prix coming up and our friends Tim and Lorraine will be visiting us during this time.

I also spent this weekend finalising an Easter break for Steve and I. We'll be off to Rutherglen which is on the NSW and Victoria border and is a region famed for its muscats, port and dessert wine.

Back to the present though and Friday evening was a fun night. Stefanie and I met for cocktails and dinner at PM 24. What I anticipated would be a relatively early finish wasn't quite that. Our table was at 6:30pm and we didn't leave till about 4 hours later! Anyway we thoroughly enjoyed getting our eating and drinking boots on.
Saturday was a breakfast at Cumulus affair and Steve and I enjoyed it very much. We then spent the rest of the day in Mordialloc where we enjoyed Lynn and Steve's company over drinks and dinner.

Sunday was not such a good day for me as I was hit by a tummy bug and have been pretty ill since. Turned a corner this afternoon though and feel heaps better so back to work tomorrow.

Before I sign off - happy Valentine's day! Steve and I exchanged cards as gesture and acknowledgement to the day. I'm all for occasions to say "I love you" as well as the other 364 days in the year!

Anyway I received flowers so if the commercialism of this day brings me flowers then here's to next year's Valentine's Day!

    We are Steve and Minda and we've been given the opportunity to move to Melbourne for two years. We arrived November 2010 and passed that two year milestone and are now Australian citizens! This is a blog of our experiences as we move to this new country, settle in and have fun!
