Where does the time go?! It's been many weeks now since my last blog post and to be honest, it's been a whirlwind these last few weeks. Having 2 boys has certainly kept us busy, leaving us with less "free" time, though I'm now learning to make the most of any time I have while the boys are sleeping or otherwise occupied, to get things done and sneak time on the net. It is a bit of a juggling act, but we are getting used to the busyness and I'm hoping this will help me lose those last few kilos, running around and being busy.
The silly season is aptly named... this time of year is always so busy - what with kids parties and Christmas parties of sorts, we have had more than a month now of busy weekends which have been lots of fun, but somewhat exhausting, leaving us feeling rather lack lustre on a monday. Fortunately things look to be a little bit quieter this next week, before Christmas, giving us time to catch our breath before the festivities start again. We can hardly complain, as being busy is pretty much self-inflicted, but it's all part of celebrating the holiday season. I have to say, having interrupted sleep makes one feel a bit zombi-ish as it catches up with us eventually when we are on the go, but again, it's all part and parcel of having a baby.
Kyle is such a treasure - a content baby who sleeps and feeds well, and who is also quite a sociable baby, not wanting to miss out on anything so we are having to keep him entertained quite often, but it's also so rewarding as he's coo-ing and smiling so much now - a little person who knows what he wants in life, already! Jordy just loves his brother, which is so precious, and Kyle responds with a smile every time he sees Jordy. So cute! I've managed to get a few cute pics of the boys together, but wanting to capture the essence of a 'happy family, we decided to have some photos taken professionally, which I am posting on the blog now. These photos were taken 3 weeks ago.
Jordy is well and loving being on holiday and enjoying it even more when it's not raining as we've had such wet and damp weather, punctuated maybe once a week with a hot sunny day, until just recently when we started having really hot weather more regularly which has been great. Let's hope we have more warm and sunny days from hereon.
We will be home for Christmas, spending time with my folks, as well as Kirsty, Jason and Anna which will be nice, since the Springetts leave for Langebaan on 5 January '09 to spend 2 years there which is sad, but also a great opportunity for them.
We know many friends are away for Christmas, so it goes without saying that we hope you have safe travels and a great holiday, with special time enjoyed with those nearest and dearest. We will post an entry again before Christmas, but for those who won't be online, have a blessed Christmas and may the new year be all you wish for!
God Bless
Lots of love
The Biddles
