Okay, I'm sorry but I didn't get around to writing up about what the pics were in the previous post. I'll make up for it (I hope) by filling you in a little with what has gone on, is going on, and post two more pics from the wedding.
It's been a busy couple of weeks as we prepare to move (yet again) this Saturday (4/12). We will be moving to Lindfield which will make it a shorter trip for Kristin into the city when she starts work in January, but it will ad about 15 mins to my trip... oh well, we all love getting up at 5am for work!!
We had a few of Kristin's friend over on Saturday night to celebrate her birthday that was a week ago. It was a nice night with Gerard & Briar joining in the fun as well. Our last guest didn't leave 'til 2:30am so I got my second wind and watched the Wallabies beat the English for the second time since losing to them in the World Cup final.
This photo will give you a better view of the Brides dress as she walks down the isle with her mother who gave her away.
Everyone together now "Awwww..."
At the reception, we all danced up a storm. It did seem that the 'oldies' were showing us a thing or two though. Seen here, Mel's Pop rips up the dance floor with Mal's (and my) Granny.

It's a small world after all...
Of all the times I could have gone into the plate making room, I happened to go in this afternoon. And of all the rag bags in Australia, of all the rag bags in Pemara, of all the rags in one rag bag, a plate maker at my work picked this one:
What is it? I know a few of you who know what it is!!
To find out, just look in the comments, hopefully someone will have pick it ;)
POST NOTE: It was a T-shirt for Nathan Tasker's local tour of Sydney in 1997

Well, as I had said in the previous post, today is Thursday because I have Friday off making tomorrow Friday for me and not Thursday like it is for everyone else... this train of thought has made things a little confusing. I keep forgetting what day it is!!!
The only thing that is important is that I remember it's the 17th today!!
Happy Birthday Timbo F5

A nice day today. We took a stroll down to a local reserve. It did end up being a little too breezy for our liking but we still managed to take a pic or two
We decided that a trip to the shops to window shop for Kristin's birthday and get a spot of Chrissy shopping done. While there, there was a photo stand that gives you a portrait for $7, with your best photo going into a competition to receive some free portraits. I took this 'behind the scenes' photo.
Inspired by this sitting, we took it upon ourselves to capture our own Glamour Shots

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Totally Trivial:
# A camera lens worth $540,000, wasn't properly secured when trying to get a shot of a vat of chocolate. As a result, the camera fell into the vat which destroyed it.
# Screenwriter John August had never even seen Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) when asked by Tim Burton to write the script. After finishing the screenplay, he finally watched the 1971 version, only to be surprised at how much darker the "family film" was to his own.

Charlotte has been making little chomping/chewing motions with her mouth, without anything in it. We thought, seeing as it's been four months, that we would give her some Farex. As you can see by her expression, she wasn't quite too sure what to make of it.
