been a while...

I kind of forgot about my blog for a while, it's been a crazy few months. Christmas was great spending time with family. Naomi took her first few steps at 9 months, and now at 10 months she is doing more walking than crawling.
Megan has had a couple of swimming lessons and is not too afraid of the water, but hopefully she will gain confidence with each lesson.
Lauren had her first day at kindy this year, which will be 5 day fortnights now. She loves it, and wasnt upset at all when i left her on her first day. She goes the same days as her cousin Jack, so it's good for them to have eachother there.

Its been a hot few months, and i cant wait until some wintery weather hits us. I would like to use my doona at night one of these days... Although with the floods, bushfires and extreme heat conditions in other areas of Australia, we are feeling pretty grateful.

Duncan is still in YM, serving as 1st councellor which keeps him busy, but he enjoys it.

We recently enjoyed a visit from the Reads, it was lovely to see them again, and they finally got to meet Naomi. We had a great day of pool and bbq at mums house last weekend with mums extended family. So nice to be able to do all that without getting on a plane!

We have big hopes for 2009, despite the financial crisis over the world we are doing our best to come out of ahead and better off than the year started, and wish everyone the same. These are hard times, but the Lord has always blessed our family with everything we need and we are so greateful.

May you all enjoy a happy, healthy and safe year.
