Just filling you all in on our life

hello everyone! I know I know its been TOO LONG. We have been slightly busy over the past few weeks. Brad is loving his work, enjoying being in the thick of it all as a Business Analyst and doing great. During the last year of University he along with 4 other friends developed a computer program (don't ask me the details but it has something to do with scanning things) anyway it was such a great program that their Lecturer not only gave them top grade but nominated them for a National award - which they won two days ago!! It is a very prestigious award, so the guys were all thrilled - they now go onto the international awards having won the Australian division.

This is what happens if you leave a baby for longer than 3 seconds! I thought he would just tap the chip packet to make some noise - but Jackson had other ideas. Cheeky cheeky!
Loving some play time with me on a day off I took. Jackson and I spent the day together and at this age he is happy to cling a bit to his ma ma.
Both my boys looking clean and pretty on our way to Mahind's for Saturday night dinner. Mahind invited us around to share in some traditional Persian food which was AMAZING. i am learning to cook the same way as both Brad and I loved the meals she made. We spend a lovely evening all together with the family, talking about their past in Iran, and the terrible persecution they suffered for their religious beliefs. They are not Muslim and as such were excluded from higher education such as university and even high school.

Congratulations Brad, you have the IT set in Australia sitting up and taking notice. I remember when I told Carm of your nomination last year she was most impressed.
I'm sure being married to that wonderful, caring, exciting and intelligent woman , my daughter, had something to do with it.
love Lollie
