Funky Swing

We saw a new swing whilst we were up there - they built it the day before. We tried it out.

The kids loved it!

As Predicted

Ponting has come round to my view of a few months ago. Maybe I should be the Captain.

Turner bub #3

Today we had our first Ultra-sound for Turner child #3. It was a very long appointment, over an hour and close to an hour and a half. We had to go for a walk for a while to move the baby and settle him/her down.

We had great pictures of the spine, feet, fingers, face, arms, internal organs and the profile. We didn’t find out the sex, although it was tempting.

Praise God, we believe the baby to be fully healthy.

We are still alive

The Turner family are still alive. We’ve been a little snowed under with morning sickness, scarlet fever, collar bones, life, work and kids. And we have not even reached winter. But things seems to be improving. The kids are past the worst of it. Ness is improving. I seem to be getting a handle at work.

We had a great day on Friday as a family - we all went to Putney Park. Photos to follow, because the camera was dusted off and it still works !

Scary !

A couple of scary articles today in The Australian.

The first, about Sunspots, concludes by saying: there is a 1 in 500 chance we are beginning an ice age!!!!

The second, about human rights, and how they actually remove rights. As I’ve long said, a bill of rights is all wrong.

Read them both, and remember God is sovereign.

Unrecognisable

The Test team for the West Indies was announced today. It’s unrecognizable to the team of a few short years ago.

Here it is: Test squad Matthew Hayden, Phil Jaques, Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Simon Katich, Brad Haddin (wk), Ashley Noffke, Beau Casson, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Stuart Clark, Stuart MacGill, Ben Hilfenhaus.

No Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist, Martyn, Langer, amongst others. Sadly, world domination will no longer be possible. I predict in the next decade, India will rule the roost. And they will own the roost for a very long time.

All day sickness

Ness is very sick with morning (read: all day) sickness. She vomits most mornings, and nearly after all meals. Pregnancy doesnt agree with her one bit.

Please pray for us as a family. It’s causing stress on us, our marriage, on the kids and on our work. We’re coping, but only by the grace of God.

Joel & Zoe

Zoe continues to come out with some funny sayings: My little toe is really really really really sore a little bit.

Joel continues to remain silent. He just wont say a word. Maybe by the time he goes to school !

Another baby Joel

The Turner family have decided it is time to add to our numbers (or actually to be outnumbered by our children).

I am nearly 10 weeks pregnant and we are expecting another precious bundle sometime in October.

Zoe has informed me a number of times she would like another baby Joel and we are to call him Joel. I don’t know how Joel feels about that one. She has also told me that she would like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7 ,8, 9, 10 babies. Indeed!

At the moment I am in a world of morning sickness and would really prefer to fast forward the next couple of months.

We eagerly anticipate meeting and are thankful for this precious gift from God.

Sleeping Problems

Zoe came into our room last night at 1:30am. Someone is calling me from outside. Someone is saying my name, she said. She was very scared.

I’m not sure what it was, but it had her rattled. It might have been a bird, or the garbage truck, or maybe someone was outside calling her. I was up for the next hour trying to settle her. Eventually, she wanted to go and sleep in the same room as Joel. Tired Dad today though.

Zoe’s Head

Zoe fell of her bike today, and hit her head on the corner of the path. Blood everywhere. Took me a minute or so to find where the blood was coming from. Answer: her head.

We rushed her to the hospital, and they patched her up (yah the health system!). She’s fine. A little bald & bloody on the back of her head, but on the mend.

We now have to go to the Chippy Shop - bribery when the Doctor was doing his thing, which Zoe didnt like at all.

Chippy Shop

Today’s our day off. We dont like to get up to too much otherwise it feels too busy. I just said to Zoe: I think we should go to the Chippy Shop for lunch. In case it wasnt painfully clear, Zoe loves the Chippy Shop.

Much to my surprise, Zoe said: I dont want to go to the Chippy Shop for lunch.

Me: Do you want to go to the Chippy Shop for some Chippies.

Zoe: Yes!
