Close Call

My sister gave me an IM the other day telling me that they got into a car crash. I immediately called them up thinking it was maybe a fender bender of some sort. How wrong I was. I heard first hand how bad it really was. I felt so bad for my siblings, so sorry that they had to experience such an horrific accident but at the same time I'm glad that they walked out of that alive. I haven't seen anything but hearing my sister and brother talk about it and reading her account of the accident just made me feel like I was there experiencing it with them. I just felt so helpless being this far away from them.

Hope you're doing ok now guys. The kids and your manang and I are just happy you're OK.

Yes, It's Cold!

I think this is the coldest I've ever seen in Adelaide!

EDIT: Actually I have a short memory, last year we had Adelaide's coldest day in 24 years. Might be broken soon as we're in for a sub-zero night!

Air Guitar!

We Just had a fun time with the kids tonight. Sometimes, we'd put on music while we put the kids to sleep. Normally, it would be some slow and light kids music or classical music. Just soft enough for them ( and us ) to get drowsy to. This time, they were still in a playful mood ( which is often the case ) and I decided to put on The Police's greatest hits. Wouldn't you know it, they actually liked the music and they to listened and sang along to "Every Breath You Take" and "Do Do Do Da Da Da". The boy liked it so much that he did the impromptu air guitar! He even did the high spin jumps off the bed. I even taught him to do the 3 finger rock salute! It was really fun to watch the kids just strumming their air guitars and shouting out the Do Do Do chorus.

It really reminded me of when I was growing up and my brothers and I had the pretend air guitars and air drums! Now, if only I could remember what we actually 'sang'. :)
