Recently while Jay has been away I have found myself trying to wade through the many tasks of getting through a 1st birthday party, Xmas gift making, wrapping,decorating and cooking. I have never been more busy yet found myself completely lonely and feeling disheveled.
Then Xmas happened! Wow what a beautiful time we had on the two days we celebrated. Xmas eve with my folks and family and Xmas day with Jay's family. It was great fun for us and the kids. Needless to say my house now resembles a toy warehouse! I am glad a lot of gift givers asked what to get the kids and we didn't end up with too many plastic things. However I will be throwing around the names of some Steiner inspired shops come Jaxon's birthday in a month or so.
Great things have been happening. things that make me want to reach up to the sky and embrace the sunshine that is summertime. My close friends V and Dame just had a wonderful reception in Wangaratta to celebrate their wedding they had in Thailand. We stayed over the weekend in Wangaratta, kid free and footloose and fancy free. What a great time we had. They are a truly gorgeous couple who are expecting a bubby in April.....Oh I can wait! And V is probably the cutest pregnant lady I have seen!
My close friend Ellen just had a beautiful boy Baby Saxon River. Gorgeous baby! I was anticipating this birth for a while and had made several cute things for bubs. Some of which I forgot to take photos of but are still fresh in my mind!We have just come back from a 5 day stint in Echuca where we camped on the banks of the Murray with some great friend.We spent new years here and had a ball. I myself was sceptical how I would manage with 2 kids, my partner and the heat, but it was great fun. We even had a wading pool for the kids to play in. Fun was had by all and we got to spend some great time with friends and spoil ourselves by going out for tea and going for cruises on the boat. Cant wait till next time!
(The down fall of the great time was I ended up with gastro which I am still feeling seedy from....I will recover though!)
Well Jay goes away again Monday and I am facing that whole "single mumdom" thing again. I am planning on throwing myself into a book I am waiting to get. It is a book on making toys and dolls so no doubt you will see the creations soon. Oh I have so much to keep me occupied. 2 boys, lots of sewing and the occasional glass of red. Hey I may just enjoy myself yet!!!!
