got sidetracked there….

516 We went to Carols by Candlelight last Friday at the War Memorial. It was so nice to sit under the stars on a blanket all wrapped up in our winter Woolies because it was freezing cold – about 8 degrees. Why is this happening in the middle of Summer??? Anyway, this is Lisa and Meg singing it up.
519AMy and I having a snuggle at the Carols.

522This is me. Notice any grey hairs from the trouble my children are causing me??

525Amy and I in front of our Christmas tree. Last Christmas, as I was putting up the tree at the old house, it never would have crossed my mind that this year we’d have another baby, a new house, 3 more cousins, 2 new employees and a partridge in a pear tree (I was going to say a new puppy, but thankfully we got out of accepting Rusty into the fold!).

That’s it for now. Can’t wait for Christmas Day and the 23 people here for lunch. I’ve made Baileys Irish Creme (but at the rate Jus and I are going through it I’ll have to make some more) and can’t wait to have Kate and Rohan sleeping over for a few nights. Yippeee – it is nearly here.

Mery Christmas everyone :0)

Time for an update of some photos of what we have been up to n the last few weeks.

501Amy having a bit of a giggle. She is going along so well despite the bulky and horrible harness. When she smiles it just makes my heart melt and I can’t help but laugh with her. She is the light of my life at the moment!
504The four of them – Hard to get a good photo with everyone smiling at the same time, but this is not too bad! They are good girls and most of the time are great buddies. If only Jessica would be less of a bully…… 🙂
507I love this photo. Amy was so sound asleep and Jus just couldn’t move an inch. Isn’t my hubby gorgeous!!
510This is Amy all bright and sitting up so well….untill she flops over. She is about 11 weeks here.
513Holly was an angel in the Kinder Nativity Play. She rehearsed her lines for 2 weeks, writing them down over and over on pieces of paper. She finishes school today and I can’t really believe that a year ago she could hardly write, couldn’t read at all and now she can read beautifully, write neatly and write everything, and do sums etc. I’m so proud of her.

Gotta take her to school now, but I’ve got a few more photos to put up later.
