Courtney missed school today with a little bit of a cold. She came good this afternoon and then, you guessed it, Brooke went down hill. Another sleepless night for mum, listening to coughing.
Not really much to say today.
To those of you facing something new, and you know who you are, We wish you well - Good luck

Goodbye Pa - We'll see you soon
Pa has decided that his leg is now well enough to return home. After three months in Perth, we bet he's glad to get home again. His leg is definitely on the mend, we'll see how much longer it takes to heal totally. The girls are missing you already Pa. Dad is missing your company already. We know we'll see you soon.
Another weekend gone. Mum rolled her ankle playing netball on Friday night, it seems okay just a little purple and a lot sore. Dad went to see the Eagles play on Saturday and then the girls came over for a sleep over. Brooke and Dad were going to take Pa to the airport but Dad's car had a flat battery so he had to catch a taxi.
We all went and watched Courtney play soccer this morning and this afternoon, Courtney and Dad worked on fixing the car battery. Courtney now knows about as much mechanical information as her father. Perhaps we'll leave the lessons up to Grandad from here on.
The girls learnt a new card game today - Fish. We've only played one game - Brooke won. We prefer to play it when you can see everyone else's cards.
A big "HI" to our friend Cassie who won a spelling contest at school this week. Cassie beat a whole lot of other kids from all across the top end of Australia to get into the finals - Good Luck !

Dad goes to school
Today Dad took a day off work and went to Courtney's school as the duty parent. After Dad left a boy punched Courtney in the stomach - we still don't know why and neither does he?
Pa went to the skin specialist, he is just about fully healed now and will be going home within the next week so he won't miss Marcus' birthday.
We all went to Sizzler tonight for dinner.
The girls are not going well sleeping in the same room - time will see if they settle down but Mum is already thinking about changing the rooms back.

Oooops
It looks like Dad has mucked around with the "javascript thingy" too much. Notice how the grey header at the top is all overlapping and impossible to read - Dad did that!
We've all had a good weekend. Courtney had soccer this morning and then we went home and spent the day drawing etc in an attempt to avoid the weather. Mum went to the markets, no doubt the girls got spoilt there.
Dads ongoing attempts to convert Brooke to the West Coast Eagles was helped along by the result of the Western Derby. Poor Courtney is very upset with the Dockers
Hopefully Brooke's sniffles will go away and she'll be able to go swimming tomorrow. Dad is a duty parent at CJ's school on Tuesday morning and then he'll take Pa to the doctor, hopefully for the last time.
Waiting to see what the result of the girls sharing a room is.

Are Netball and Soccer olympic sports?
After an extended period of asking, the girls went to watched mum, Aunty Kirstie and Uncle Peter play netball last night. Although they won, the girls apparently got a bit bored not being a part of the action.
CJ is wildly supporting Australia at the Olympics and preferred to cheer on the double sculls this afternoon rather than watch The Cat in the Hat. Brooke and Dad are looking forward to when the Eagles beat the Dockers tomorrow.
Grandma is in Perth until Monday, looking after Pa and his ever healing leg. Courtney has soccer tomorrow morning and a birthday party in the afternoon - busy day. Mum has been moving furniture and the girls now share a bedroom - Hopefully everyone can start getting a full nights sleep. And, Brooke's face has just about cleared up after that cat attack.
Dad wants you to check out the calendar (if it's working).
Dad has just done some work on Mum's computer. She had four different infections of the W32.mydoom.M@mm virus which might explain why her computer was going so slow. Being that it is a mass mailing virus, Dad suggests everyone makes sure their virus software is up to date or they should download the removal tool (or dad will email it to you - it's only 156KB)

Milly Molly Mandy
The girls have had little cold for the last few days but it looks like they are getting on top of them. Brooke went to daycare today and by all accounts she had fun. She's going two days a week now - lucky girl - maybe she'll paint or make something that can post on the site.
The girls went to Nana and Grandad's house tonight for dinner. CJ finished of Milly Molly Mandy (a book with long tongue twisting names) last night so no doubt Mum has hidden that one away for a while.
Grandma gets to Perth tomorrow. Pa went and saw the Doctor about his leg yesterday and all is healing well now. He's up walking around a little, trimming roses etc.
Sorry if you found the popup Grandma's birthday annoying - The site is still being developed, stay tuned, hopefully there will be a calendar in soon. Four entries in the guestbook! We have no idea who the "Lunchbox Legend" is although there is a list of likely suspects.

Email addresses needed
I forgot to mention.
Last week, we suffered a computer malfunction.
Please send me any email addresses you think I might need to know.

Please send me any email addresses you think I might need to know.
Up and running.
Firstly, if you don't know Courtney, Brooke or their family and friends, you will most likely find this site very boring as it has been created for those people.
Basically, The Crane Girls' Dad wanted to learn how to put a website together and then maintain it - This is the result.
Hopefully it will grow - along with the girls - and soon enough they will be running the site themselves.
Stick around, sign the guestbook (Dad's proud of that part) drop in again soon and see if it's all crashed in a heap
