OFF TO SHEPPARTON
Tomorrow (Saturday) Max and I are off to Shepparton a 3 hour drive from home. On the Sunday Max is competing in a Half Ironman event (1.9km (1.2 mile) swim, 90km (56mile) bike ride 21.1(13mile) km run. No rests in between just straight out of the water – wetsuit off and bike gear on and out they go. Then off the bike and running shoes on and out they run. It should take him about 5 and a half hours. It starts at 7.00am and the temperature is meant to be about 34 degrees (93 degrees to our American friends) so I hope he isn’t out there much longer than that. Once he completes this race he will be qualified for the Australian Ironman Competition at Port Macquarie NSW in April 2008. This event is double all of the distances he will do on Sunday. If you have ever seen the Hawaiian Ironman event on TV this event is the same distance. He is one fit man – my Mad Max.
I couldn’t ‘not glitter’ – so I just used black and a light green and it didn’t turn out ‘girly at all. I hope they like them – Lachlan’s favourite colour is blue so he should like it.
As for Riley at one month old only his Mum has to like it – so I think I am safe.
Here is a photo I took of Riley on Wednesday. I think he's cute but I may be biased!

Hi Alison,
You did a lovely job of the boys collages - they should be thrilled.
Riley is very cute and I'm sure he will love looking at all the bright colours.

Hi Alison
(I'm home now!)
Love the collages you did, they are fantastic! the colours are so great and of course you can glitter for boys, they don't know what they are talking about do they!
Riley is such a cutie~ I love those Bonds stripy clothes, Leroy had them all too and they were my favourite pieces of clothing to put on him!
Riley is just adorable!!
love the collages you did, they are wonderful and you are so right it is much harder to do crafty things for boys...not much out there to work with...and i firmly believe glitter is for everyone:)
The collages for the boys are wondeful. Cute picture of Riley
Hugs Karen

Good luck to you and yours on the iron man qualification. I have always found it interesting what people are capable of.
Also great name collages! You've been busy!
Riley is adorable and those signs turned out "just right". My sons cringe when they see the glitter bottles.
