Freshly wrapped and weighed at 9 pound
Staying true to theme - a little sleep
Maeve Ann Elizabeth Kirk. Born 2nd January 2010
posted bystavThis post is under duress. Duress only because I have to get some photo’s up. Maeve was born about just over a week ago, and while we had plenty of time to take photo’s, life at home is pretty hectic with Wilson as well.
That said, it’s all going pretty well. TK is well and Maeve is ticking all the right boxes as far she can at just over a week old.
Meave - any fresher and she would be tomorrow's
adieu 2009 - 2010 is a whole new game at chez ESSR!

It’s hot in Melbourne. Last night the mercury struggled to dip below 26 degrees which, under normal circumstances, makes sleep difficult.
But it wasn’t the heat that kept me awake last night. It was an adrenalin fueled nervousness and the strong aroma of excitement that I haven’t felt since the few days before I got married. Not even the effect of a six pack of IPA could relieve last night’s “head miles”.
After a visit to the obstetrician yesterday afternoon the reality of what our new year will involve registered. It was like a thick slap to the back of the head.
2009 was a challenging year on the business front and at home, raising Wilson, was equally hard work. But the rewards are paying off and we are the proud parents of an amazing son. Our gift for the New Year will be another child and whole new set of challenges.
2010 – roll on and break out the cigars!

posted bystavI’d like to think that Wilson is showing a bit of talent in the Kitchen. As TK and I are both from a food and hospitality background, we’re not sure it’s a good thing. But he loves nothing more than getting up on a step ladder and having a crack.
Sorry about the break in transmission
posted bystavIt’s been a while. Sorry about that! The only excuse for not posting more often is because we’ve been so bloody busy.
My excuse? Yet another website to manage and maintain. This one was from a scratch start and has pretty much consumed the last 4 months.
TK has been working and still doing some personal training, which, considering her “delicate” state is no mean feat in itself.
Wilson has been developing which also keeps us from posting more regularly. We’ve also had the family over for the US.
As TK has eluded in the post below, Wilson fractured his leg recently as well. Not sure how it happened but it did. Didn’t stop him or slow him down though.
There’s a heap of photos and stories to tell but right now I have to tend to my farrow. Be right back!

posted bystavIt was Wilson’s first birthday last Friday. Shannon was good enough to take some photos and send them through before I have even opened up my laptop to start editing any. Anyway, Thanks Shan.
More pics coming (about 200 that need to be edited - must be the most photographed kid in Melbourne)

posted bystavMy day to day job, among other things, requires me to research and write little snippets about new products and food industry things from time to time for publishing on the web.
While I was chasing information about bacon, I came across this.
And from their Bacon store, I found this t shirt - they even have my size.
Oink - Oink!
Please TK - for my Christmas stocking?
Backslider
posted bystavAccording to the dictionary - back·slide (bksld)
intr.v. back·slid (-sld), back·slid·ing, back·slides
To revert to sin or wrongdoing, especially in religious practice.
Since Wilson has been on solid food - a religion in our family - I’ve got another definition for backslider…….. yuk
