No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Life has finally settled down a bit (only to be now in the run up to Christmas!!!).
I have finished my project that I have been working on for around 8 months and I was glad to finally hand it over. Now I can get in an get some scrapping done. I have sorted some photos and papers ready to go and I have about 6 layouts sitting ready to go.
On Thursday, Brendan and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Hard to believe how quickly that time has gone. I feel so truely blessed to be in such a wonderful, happy marriage and to have the life that I do - sigh! We went away for the weekend up the coast to a new resort called Rumba - very nice. It was great to relax by the pool and have a cocktail and we also went for a drive to Montville and had a look around and then a picnic lunch. Went to Moo Char for dinner - beautiful. Was too hard to come home and really great to spend some time together without the children.
The kids have been busy with birthday parties and the usual cricket and music. Chelsea had another performance for strings where they played really well for only having learned for part of the year. She has to hand back her hire violin which means that we are up for buying another one in the next few weeks. She does really enjoy it so I don't mind spending the money.
We had a lovely afternoon at the park two Sundays ago and I took my camera and took candid shots of lots of the kids playing, just mucking around with my camera which is good for a change.
A couple of weeks ago I went to see Bjorn Again - the ABBA tribute band at QPAC in Brisbane. It was so much fun - I can't remember the last time I enjoyed myself with friends that much. The girls I went with were friends I have known my whole life and we have all grown up with ABBA. We also had a wonderful dinner together.
Amazingly, I don't feel too stressed about Christmas this year. I have started buying a few presents. We are having at least one family party at our house this year but it means that I will have to get in and give the house a huge clean - not really a bad thing.
The uniform shop is going to be sooo busy in the next few weeks. I have some lovely ladies to help me out though.
Stay tuned for some layouts shortly.
