A Site Update

Paul — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 11:11:07 +0000

I have updated the WordPress engine to 2.7 today, whilst nursing the twins. Part of this upgrade also required upgrading my theme, Fresh, to 2.0. I still need to fix up the sidebar, but everything else has been set up to display the way I like it. EDIT (20/3/2009): Finally got the sidebar finished – things [...]

Ready or not…. here we come

Paul — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:08:07 +0000

Sorry to disappoint you all – tonight there are no 35 Week photos. That’s because at 4:45am Luci woke me to tell me she thought her waters had broke. So while Luci packed a few items into a bag, I had a shave and shower to be fully ready for the big day. I rang my mum [...]

Setting up the 2008 Christmas Tree

Paul — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 11:59:00 +0000

Today we dragged out the Christmas Tree and set it up. Unlike last year, Lachlan wasn’t bothered so much by the feel of the tree – in fact he took great delight in tickling and trying to annoy us with each of the branches. Thomas was great at hanging the decorations, though some of them [...]

Lachlan and Chopsticks

Paul — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:46:06 +0000
