More of a lowlight than a highlight given the drubbing England received, but seeing a day's play of The Ashes at the SCG is always a bit special.
Erecting Pete's deck in the summer holidays- a big job in hot conditions. Beer, power tools and small children - what could possibly go wrong?
Gill's 30th birthday celebration in the Hunter Valley with Angelique, Dono, Anna and Sarah
Floating down the Colo River hunting bass in the autumn: "it's not about the fishing"
Lunching out at Catalina's in Rose Bay - the best restaurant in the world (maybe). Always a bit extravagant, but always a bit awesome.
After four years, I finally completed my Graduate Diploma in Education in July, qualifying me to teach in NSW. Gill completed her Masters of Teaching (Primary) - a far bigger effort in shorter time, too.
Winter holiday in tropical Port Douglas in Far North Queensland in July - one of the top highlight's of the year for me.
A day later we were on a winter mini-break in winter with Anna and Matt in Ebor, near Armidale. Frozen waterfalls, roaring fires and the Game of Thrones board game; truly A Song of Fire and Ice.
One of several days out at the rugby in the winter months - peaking with Waratahs epic win ine Super XV rugby final. On the same day we discovered we were having one of these:

Christmas at the Burke's is a wonderful finale to the year
2014 was always going to be 'the year of consolidation', after our wedding last year. With our little girl due in 3 months time, 2015 will be a big year!

\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 What a great year!* I feel a bit exhausted just reading about how much you fit in! And I'm sure 2015 will be even more exciting. :-) x}
And we thought it was a quiet year! 2015 will be exciting with a big change on the way.... I expect there will be fewer pictures featuring beer, wine and mini-breaks and more of little people! x
