we have had a lovely few days with Lisa coming to stay.

she flew into sydney on wednesday and left on saturday. we went shopping, stayed at home and met up with some lovely ladies in sydney.. And went to ikea...

here is a photo at the airport as we were saying good bye :(

First day of School :)

The kids all started school together.. Mel yr5, Nat yr4, Kaitlyn & Rachel & Benjamin all went to preschool.... ahhh perfect.. 830 i loaded everyone in the car, and oops battery is flat.. sigh. Everyone around had already just left. so called NRMA with up to 60mins to wait.. they came in 15.. Kids were only 5 mins late to school which wasn't bad. twins & Benjamin to preschool.

Came home for only a few mins before i had to leave for the airport.

kids had a good day. Benjamin didn't cry too much. and settled quickly.

New Years Resolutions..

Ok who makes them? we all do!!!
And how many times do we not stick to them? me? almost never!
so this year I have made a goal, of improvement... not a change.
* get ahead financially. . I have made steps already, Then I can start saving.. And all of this is done on no major income from my hubby.

* be healthier.. Eat better, exercise more. (wouldn't be hard) and hopefully I will lose some weight. I am not setting an end goal.. Any is better than nothing.

* be a better mum.. Learn more patience. Teach the girls more about the house hold and how to take care of it.

* improve my marriage any way possible. I want to find my dh appealing. And want him physically.. And ATM I don't at all.. I know this is with in me.. Not him.

* and then FLY better :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

WELCOME IN 2008!!!!!

not really alot to say, we stayed home.. there were 8 kids here. so mayhem all around LOL
the little ones went to sleep, and the big ones had sparklers, and glow sticks in which they threw them in the air, and looked pretty cool..

unfortunately, being hormonal/emotional didn't help to make it an enjoyable night.. but today,
A special friend was in Sydney, and I went down and met Inger. have talked to her for awhile now, and it was lovely to finally meet her :)

I have very tired kids today.. so hopefully an early night all around. I was up most of the night tending to each of the kids.. thats what also happens when there are 8 in the house LOL

have a great 1st day :)

xoxoxox

Benjamin is 2!!!!!!!!!

13/12 my baby turned 2.
he opened pressies, had papa & grandele come over for dinner. then friday we had a bbq, that the weather cleared nicely for at the park, with friends and family. then Birthday in sabbath school and down to grandma's for more pressies. except that included xmas too.

Our kitty cat

ok so if you look back, you will see when Kirah became a mummy... i swore I wasn't going to keep one of those adorable kittens... ha yeah i fell for the fluffy one.. bear.

he came to live with us at 4wks old. yes that is early. but his mummy was getting sick feeding them, so they left as soon as they found homes.

Bear settled in just fine. not too much whinging which was great!

he is so much bigger now. he is a gorgeous nature.. and gets along so well with our other cat Misty. they curl up together and sleep.. she washes him.. its all too sweet..

coming or going... i don't know

alot has happened in the area of moving.
G found out that work is harder to come by when you aren't a local.. so, with finding that out, he drove home. on the way home, someone had contacted his brother about work, and wasn't happy that g had left. well not much else you can do when you miss your family and work isn't going the way it was planned. so we weren't moving anywhere.
the following sunday, we get a call from our landlords. we need to do an inspection. next sunday, we have new tenants moving in.. we are like oh crap... we are moving, but where to?
we get packing and cleaning.
today, the llandlords come, inspection went great. they are really impressed how we have taken care of the house, esp with so many bodies in it. we then discuss what was happening regarding our move. and they don't want to get us to move IF we have no where to move to! fantastic!!!!
We are staying put for now. when the work picks up and g is needed back up there, he will go, earn money, find a house for us and then we can follow.. until then we are here... phew its a huge relief for me.

thats all folks :)

Kirah is a mummy....

Ok, so kirah isn't our cat.. but i have known her since she was a tiny kitten..
she had her kittens the other day, and I got to see one (#4) be born.. she had 6 kittens.. one ended up dying.. :( but they rest are SO cute
here they are:

Benjamins 2nd hair cut.. so cute

Just before i was meeting a few friends for coffee, i thought I would stop and get Benjamin's hair cut... they fit him straight in, and he sat perfectly.. at the end, she asked if I wanted a mohawk.. so i did.. (out of my comfort zone there) and he looked adorable :)

Our Big News...

After many hours of thinking, discussions & research.....

We have decided to pack up home and move 1900kms north to Townsville.
there is heaps of work up there for Glenn.. and its about time we have a change.
So at the end of December we are off.. around here long enough for xmas with the family.

Alot of work ahead of us../me... but i think its the change we need in our lives right now. a new start.. and I haven't seen Glenn this happy in awhile. it has to be right :)

wish us luck with the new adventure
