A quick hello

Where does the time go?!?! It's been 3 weeks since our last blog entry and I don't seem to be getting any better at keeping in touch via email, or keeping a regular blog going, but I'm not going to make excuses except to say that as it is for everybody else, this time of the year is once again busy... and it will be until Christmas I'm sure.

Just thought I'd share some pics with you taken these last 2 weeks, of Jordy and also Anna - posing as always. There's not much news to report - work continues to keep me busy (yawn!) but we're also trying to complete a project on the house every week... although the days run into weeks sometimes, and it's hard to do anything constructive with a toddler running around, being destructive, so I don't know how much we'll get done by Christmas which is our goal, but we'll persist.

Jordy is well, though he was sick with Tonsilitis this week, so I was so glad to be home with him, though it does impact on one's work with the result I've had a rather busy week but we'll get there in the end. Family comes first!

Kirsty and Anna have spent the weekend with us, since Jason is away for a week, and Kirsty was feeling so ill on friday, she couldnt even lift her head or get out of bed, so we fetched them both and packed bags for them to spend time here and allow Flea to recuperate. It just so happens she's run down and has tonsilitis in a bad way, so she has felt rather rotten, but hopefully she's on the mend now. Today was a rather busy day, looking after 2 lil ones while Kirsty did work to catch up, but it was all in the name of fun. Anna's at that age now where she's battling a bit with separation anxiety, and Jordy is running around like an energiser bunny, so I've definitely got my exercise for the day - or week rather! Phew, I am not sure we are ready for baby number 2 just yet... we thought we were, but 3 years is a nice gap... think we'll stick to that!

Well, without further ado, we'll leave you to look at the pics and we will be in touch again when we have more news!

Our animal farm excursion...

It's been a while since our last blog entry, but unfortunately it's been a busy two weeks and there've not been too many photos to share until today, when we took Jordy to the animal farm, and which he thoroughly enjoyed. Our first visit to the animal farm, some 6 months ago, was somewhat uneventful and was a rather fleeting visit since Jordy wasn't overly impressed with the noises and smells the first time around, but today he was very enchanted by all the sights and sounds and we had quite a job keeping up with him. He especially liked the sheep, which although it gave him one hell of a fright the first time it bellowed "Maaaa", he kept going back for more, walking around the pen where the sheep was kept, and pretending to give it food, which he eventually did, but he figured the sheep had to earn it. It was actually quite funny watching Jordy jump when the Maa sounded, only to laugh at it and so it went on. He wasn't impressed with the pigs who were sleeping... we got the 'bored' look but he really liked the roosters. The goats weren't particularly special for Jordy... but he did love the ducks and swans. He went on his first pony ride which he really enjoyed which surprised us because we thought he may be too young to appreciate the experience, but he was really keen on the ponies. So, I guess it will be back to the animal farm again soon - hopefully next time we will have better weather as it started drizzling while we were walking around the farmyard, but it was none-the-less a great time, had by Jordy and I guess you could say Mom & Dad enjoyed it too. We visited the Springetts for tea afterwards which is always nice - they really have a lovely home at Clifton Hill and have done so much to it already to make it a home.

Well, here we are, another weekend behind us and another week looming. Fortunately I can look forward to an easier week, though still busy. I've had wedding orders and freelance work all happening at once these last 2 weeks, so my evenings and to some degree, weekends have been spent working, sometimes until 2am, but that's hopefully not going to happen again anytime soon. It was just bad timing that it all came through at once. I've managed to enjoy some quality time with Jordy, despite the chaos, so that's been good. Anyway, at least tomorrow night we have the next episode of greys anatomy to look forward to... it's been a long week waiting to see what will happen... for those who follow it.

It's now way past my bedtime and since there's not much else to report for now I will head for bed and sign off for the week, but will post another entry soon, so watch this space for more!

Have a good week all of you!

Oh, and please hold thumbs for the bokke! Jordy was shouting for them today in their match against Fuji but he was shouting "Go Bokkie". It must have worked!
