Happy New Year!

Well here we are the last day of 2008. Amazing how the year has gone by. We have moved and moved again and in the new year we will move one more time.

I am looking foward to many great days in 2009. There will be shopping and dinners and movies and other great things to look forward to. I am looking foward to hanging out with great friends and making more memories that we can laugh about in 2010.

Well I wish you all a happy and healty 2009.

Love,

Balmoral Beach

I hope you all had a great Christmas and are enjoying some much needed time off. Today we went to Balmoral Beach and what a great day we had. The children played for 4 straight hours and had the best time. This is a great beach because there are no great waves for the littlies. They loved the sand and we had a great time because we were able to sit under the big tree and relax. If you ever venture to this beach bring your own lunch. They have very nice fish and chips but a large chips cost 15.00$ It was very expensive and next time we go we will bring our own lunch. Mind you we packed enough food for 5 days.

Love,
Helene

24 December 2008

Well here we are the last shopping day until Christmas. The parking lots are filling up and the fish market is standing room only. The stockings are filled and the hidden away. The gifts are wrapped. I just wanted to say a very Merry Christmas to all my friends out there and thanks for keeping in touch with me this past year.

Be safe and happy and know that you are always in my thoughts.

Merry Christmas
Love,
Helene

Shopping

Shopping should be considered for the 2012 Olympics. Really you need a lot of stamina and you use a lot of energy to get through a whole day of it. Well four hours. I mean the training is always being done and you are constantly trying to achieve better so why shouldn't it be a sport.
Today was a great day out. I do love my sport and with a good friend it makes the whole day better. Thomas survived and is now passed out cold. What a trooper and thankfully we had the stroller so we didn't have to carry everything.

Cheers to all you future Olympians out there.

Thomas's 3rd birthday

What a day. Thomas turned 3 on Friday and today we had a little party with the family. The kids had a great day but Thomas still needs an afternoon nap and today he didn't get one so he is already in the bed. He was so exhausted. I decorated him a Thomas the Tank Engine cake. He does love his Thomas trains. Well I thought it came out OK. We hung some doughnuts from the washing line and they tried their best to get them off. The little ones did really well and used their hands through most of it.

Friends

Friends are wonderful things to have. I thankfully have some great ones. Today being Thomas's 3rd birthday I was in a bit of a spot. I need to make a cake for a Sunday lunch with the family and the fact that I am not home near my friends made this a dilemma. I always borrow a cake tin from a friend and because I am no where near home I can not. Well when she happen to call before I told her my dilemma and she has very kindly offered to bake the cake. I will pick it up tomorrow and start decorating. I am so thankful for friends. Where would we all be without friends.

Boys in the pool

Well this is the best photo I have taken of the three boys in forever. This was before WWIII broke out and they had to get out.

Under the hose.

Well the boys are just loving the warmer weather. Thomas loves to have his shower outside. It saves me so much time in the afternoon when they play under the hose and then get straight into there pjs.
