Perryn Samuel!

1.5 days old!!

Hooray, My new nephew has arrived...finally.

Name: Perryn Samuel
Weight: 7 pound 8 (3440kg)
Length: 52cm
Born on: Thursday 24th November - 2:40pm.

He's is looking a little angry in this photo - but I think I would be too knowning from just where I had been and had now come to - via 'that' way!! EEwwww.

Anyway, we have just had a great weekend.

Lucy stayed at her Granny and Grandpa's overnight and all day today while Jon and I went up to Clare and had dinner at Neagles Rock with the Gringo and other great mates.

And Whew! what a meal it was. Makes me feel full just thinking of it. Absolutely delish.

There was also some great wine and some great JOKES, and dont let me forget the great amount of snoring (with 8 of us in the Gringo's two bedroomed unit) and the great amount of AGB's done the next day! What a fun night tho.

Well Im off to bed, and its only 10pm. Just shows you what a GREAT weekend does to a 30 year old body!!!!

Why are we waiting? We are suffocating...

Well my last post was on November 7th and I was saying that my future little nephew still hadn't poked his head out (eeewww that's gross!), and now its November 21st
and he still hasn't arrived!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats keeping you Perryn (his name when he is FINALLY born)?????

I think Adrienne is being induced on Wed this week, so by Thursday it should be definite.

Anyway life here in the Hogan household is all good.
Jon has just finished a mammoth month of working, spending most Friday nights and full weekends at the uni. I know that all the funtions went off without a hitch and everyone attending were most impressed with the food - I didn't expect much different really - as we all know what a great chef he is...

Our beach night last week was good and this time we were joined by kaz, james and will.
And by the way if you are looking for a council BBQ (either free or 20c) along the beach front - don't bother looking - just go to the ONLY one- which is at the West Beach sailing club (its a free one too).

After much searching up and down looking for the one Jon and I had bbq'ed at some time ago -
In jons memory it was only a short while ago and it was a council one- in my memory it was 9 years ago and we had bought our own!!!!!- we finally sat down to eat delish "McMummies" hamburgers.
We then walked to glenelg and back, partaking in Mc Sundaes. Yum.

Lucy and I also attended the TTG Christmas pageant, which was good fun. We caught heaps of lollies and waved at the strange people sitting in their tinsel covered trailers...it was just like being at the city one...
I am really excited about xmas this year - Lucy saw a lit up christmas tree the other day and was fascinated, Hooray only 33 more days to go....

Waiting...

Oh yeah,

Forgot to say that the Humphries family are all eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new little son, brother, grandson, great-grandson, nephew and cousin.

Hurry up bump... we want to meet you.

And mummy is sick of the tummy pains and false alarms....

Under Pressure

Am feeling the pressure to blog... only from myself though.
You know- your own worst enemy yah yah yah...

I feel like I have nothing of interest to put out to the big wide world but I'm sure that when I begin it will be good/ok.

We have decided that one night a fortnight will be beach night. We never spend enough time there and every year when summer ends we complain about it again.
So this year is pro-active year...

Last weeks jaunt was great. I had severe PMT so it was good to walk in the wind and have it blow all your anger away.
Could have done without all the flies though. Jons back looked like one of those yellow t-shirts from the nineties with all the flies on it- slogan reading "No flies on me mate!"

We had a home made pie and hot chips for tea (the salad I was making was almost thrown at the wall - refer to paragraph 4 - word no 9!).

We then walked from one jetty to the next - which was great - after hot chips. Walked off the guilt.
Then we had 'Heaven' ice-creams - return of the guilt... oh well, it was a great night anyway.

Stay tuned for the next enthralling installment of "Hogan's Hit the Beach".
