Birthdays, Strollers, Operations and Photos!

Just over a month ago our little man had his birthday (yeah) and being the mum and dad that we are we decided that the week after his birthday he would have a small operation… I know mean aren’t we…

Since the operation though he has come along in leaps and bounds! Brad and I have to really watch what we are saying around him now (more so then before) cause he is such a little parrot! He has grown a little and has put on weight to (something that the doctors warned us he would do) so I am not complaining about that, even though we are still having the potty training issue…
Katherine is trying to do more and say more now to. I think she feels left behind a little with Johnathan jumping so far ahead all of a sudden. A friend of mine went garage sailing over the weekend and found a little stroller for our little miss… oh lord the screams of joy from her! She loves it! Although 3 babies in one little stroller…

Wanted to do photos of the children a few weeks ago and found a local mummy who has started her own photography studio, so off to the park and an hour later we had a few new photos to treasure. Some of them are set up but most are just snaps when the kids think something else is going on. The kids had a blast, while Brad and I got to watch someone else run after them for an hour.

Brad has been working hard (or so he thinks) but was a little down a few weeks ago after applying for a new position he was knocked back. Not the first time he has applied for the position and I don’t think it will be the last.
I have been applying for jobs too, though I wonder if it will be worth me working and having the children in full time day care. I know that it is good for them to go for the few days a week that they do cause I have seen how much they are learning (even if there are a few bad habits coming home) and doing.

Well that is about it for now… cannot wait to see what Friday brings for me! Birthday number 28 here I come!

Here we go...

So after many talks with friends from different parts of the world I have finally decided (with a little push) to start a blog of my own about my little life that I live. Between a husband and two children (2 in 2 years) I don’t get much time to do the things that I think I would like to do…

Trying to decide what to do about Johnathan’s birthday next Thursday. Not sure if I am ready to try and entertain a bunch kids… I have enough to do trying to entertain my pair! I would love to have a party for him but if just seems like so much work (and we all know that it would be me doing the work) even though I know that he would love it.

Katherine has decided that she now wants to be a little girl and play with her dolls. After months of her running after Johnathan with his trucks, she decided that the dolls Marga (my mum) and Nanny (Brads mum) have given her are really a lot more fun. She now has my little dolls cot (the one I played with when I was growing up so it is over 25 years old now) and all four of her babies sleep in there. Just need to let her know that babies don’t like being carried by the legs!
