An update......

I know, I know.....It's been ages.....We are so sorry we have been so lazy (lets be honest, I'm the lazy one!) I'll tell you what stopped me from being so organised-LIFE!!!!! Things are bloody frantic here!!! Let's begin....

Jai started 4 year old kinder this year at Mooroolbark Early Childhood Education Centre (MECEC) and he just loves it! Yes, this means he starts school next year!!! OMG!!! He is already telling everyone what colour his uniform is etc!! He will hopefull be attending SPJ and most of his kinder frineds will be going there too, so he'll be in good company!!

Leithy is on the go more than ever and I'm in the process of trying to find him more activities!!! He does swimming lessons and has great fun, but he just needs more. When we do kinder duty, he just loves being there and participates in all the activities, as though he is 4 years old and part of the class! He is a funny little chap and talks so well for his age-sometimes too much (don't know where he gets that from!!) Bryce is in his last year at primary school and is off to Mt Lilydale Mercy College next year!!! He is playing football for Mt Evelyn and plays every Sunday morning. He is doing well and plays positions all over the ground! He just had his 12th birthday and most of the clothes he got had to be changed-he is getting so tall!!! He still loves school and he is doing incredibly well-his teachers are very happy with him!! Here he is holding a model of himself that Jai made at kinder for him!!!

Stuart is still working 6 days a week! He tries to get in a game of indoor cricket with his mates once a week too but it doesn't always happen! He has been promising himself (& me!) that he would be getting back on his bike too, but with winter now upon us, I can see that fading away!!! He is so good though-he obviously holds down the fort(& the kids!) when I'm at work and unlike me (!) , never complains! He organised a fantastic dinner for me and my friends for my birthday a few weeks ago at a beautiful Thai restaurant and it was just gorgeous!!! He spoils me rotten and I just love him to bits!!!


I've taken on a new job too! I'm now a swimming teacher down at Kings in Chirnside Park and I love it! While I don't have any permanent shifts yet (lots of fill ins though!) I'm keeping my shifts at the York too, so Im fairly busy. Like most mums, I do the kids/family stuff all day, then go off to work for anywhere between 4-8 hours at night!! Much to my disgust, I'm not playing any sport at the moment and feel awful for it! I simply don't have the time-though I could make it, it would just mean dragging the kids around all day and I don't think thats fair on them (or me having to put up with all the whinging!!!) I'm also doing a philosophy course on Thursday nights at Wyreena in Croydon and I just love it!!! It's so interesting and I am finding I'm starting to look at life, and my role in it, a little differently! On a Monday night I've been trying to get a regular meditation session in with my good friend Carla. Her daughter Kaeli goes to kinder with Jai and since meeting her, I have found a wonderful new friendship! The meditation has been fantastic and I find it a great way to unwind and relax!

So, life has been flat out and that's the reason you havn't heard from us!!! I hope to keep this blogspot up to date more often and will let you all know of new postings!! Until then, take care of yourselves and eachother.....xxxxx
