...well its been awhile...

12 September 2008

...since I wrote a family update.... so here's one today...dot point fashion...

*We are in full swing organising a baby shower for Alex tomorrow.... I don't think I had been to one on over ten years.....or possibly longer...so I was a little 'dumb' about what to do....but after calling in ideas from friends...a little Internet research...we now have it all under control...
I'm sure it will be lots of fun....and something for Alex to always remember.... especially with a few of the games we have in the pipeline..

*Alex is now 36 weeks .....and feeling well.. we are at the very exciting stages now... I'm half expecting a phone call any time from now on....
*Mitch is loving his job.... he has even adjusted to getting up so early and being 'at work' so long... a big improvement on the first week where he was almost falling asleep at the table during tea.
I'm getting used of checking his pockets before I wash....and I'm getting a collection of little screws... plugs and laminate samples.... pretty handy stuff..lol

*Briony was so excited today....she left home at 5.15am for a trip to the Adelaide show..... I don't think Ive seen her so excited about anything in a long time...I cant wait to hear all about it tonight when she arrives home.

*Ian is still madly gardening.....the front is finished and now he has shifted his focus to the side yard.... we are thrilled that our pergola plans are now at council....hopefully they will be approved quickly and the pergola can go up... and Ian can finally finish the garden layout... its so nice to see the parts we have finished are beginning to shoot and grow in this warmer weather.

*No news on me.... same old...same old...

Ok got to run...I have a big day planned....
