LOVE FRIDAYS!

This snap is about 5 months old - think Christmas - but I love having a good snuggle up on a Friday afternoon. School's over for the week, Princess Bon finished all the NAPLAN tests, Eric's had most of the week of with a bad cold (he sounds like he's been smoking a pack a day), D is on his way home from a conference in the Hunter Valley & the TV is on, it's cold so some lovely snuggles & book reading is in store. Tea is in the slow cooker.
The computer is working.
Hooray for Friday.
Hello weekend...here's to enjoying you!!!

Mothers Day :-)

What a lovely day...bacon & eggs, flowers at church, fresh coffee, some time with my family, a BBQ lunch & lots of cute handmade cards & of course my favourite Lindt chocolate...mmmm...
Bon went to visit sick mums' at Sutherland Hospital with her Sunday School class & hand out flowers & cards. So sweet...
The boys had some "secret mens business" at the shops & now Mum has a great new iron!!! (My other one was pathetic - $10 at Coles & it swung between scalding & burning to luke warm!)  The new one is AWESOME...

Happy 10th Birthday Dear Ones...

Can't believe you both would be turning TEN!
What precious little ones you were...
I am so sad as I remember you this weekend. I'm so sad that you never got to be a living part of our family. I'm so sad for all the memories we didn't get to make together. I'm so sad that my body wasn't a safe place for you to grow bigger. I'm so sorry that I didn't get to spend more time with you both.

Remembering you tomorrow on your birthday & on Sunday - Mothers' Day. A bittersweet day when your children aren't in your arms like they should be...

~Max & Lucy~
Remembering you forever...
I love you both.

Happy Happy

Dad is home. Lovely happy weekend...

Tomorrow is church - hooray. I'm leading prayers which is always so exciting. We're meeting people who serve others around the world & thinking about how we can make a different further than our own little suburb - which is a great thing to think about...then we're having a BBQ, meeting a new friend, gardening, taking up trousers for a little boy who wears a new winter uniform Monday.

Now, if I can just stop getting people to leave porn messages on my comments page, I'll be really happy. (Not you Melanie!)

Daddy is away...

Mr Dad is away this week at a school camp.

The kids missed him last night so we phoned him so they could say goodnight. Eric just crumpled into my arms & sobbed like it was the end of the world. Such a sensitive little boy. I wonder if subconsciously he was sobbing for all the nights he missed saying goodnight when D was in hospital?

I miss him too...& I worry about him...praying that he can get through these few days & those senior boys will be well behaved...

no internet

have had no internet for a short time & have been so disappointed...we have come to rely on it so much - for work, for fast information, for leisure, for community, for letter writing...I have been TOTALLY RIPPING MY HAIR OUT FOR TWO WEEKS. D brought home a new one this afternoon...

...very happy tonight...

Happy Easter

Hope you all have a peaceful Easter...

Much love from all here!

P.S. This is not a recent photo...since this was taken the kids have lost teeth, Bon has turned into a shark with lots of big teeth, D has grown a beard & my hair is RED...well, faded red...

I found this simple explanation about Christianity if anyone wants to read more. It's probably not the best one out there, but it sums it all up I think? Check it out this Easter?

Experimenting with a new website & some snaps of early music lessons this term...
