Big day coming soon

Another post this evening as I haven't written in a while....

I am looking forward to this month, even though is it going to be a very busy one as per usual....how I used to work full time and be a mum and keep on top of everything I don't know as I find it extrememly hard to just get enough time to do day-to-day stuff now!

Anyway enough of that.

I am looking forward to this month as our Baby Boy is being Christened on the 21st Feb and it is going to be a celebration of him. He is such a delight to have as he makes me smile. Yesterday he clapped his hands for the first time, on 20th December he said his first word....typically it was 'Dada'!

He is growing up so quick, but that is lovely to see all the new stuff he does on a daily basis, he has now just woken up for a feed so I am going to sign off now

Life is too short

Wow I have just watched both the season premiere's of 2 of my favourite shows Brothers & Sisters and Grey's Anatomy....

In Grey's George O'Malley dies from injuries caused by saving a woman and being run over by a bus, so as you can imagine I blubbed like a baby as it was horrific and the storyline of the other characters was brilliant, then to my shock Kitty in Brothers & Sisters is diagnosed with Cancer! What a start to the series for both.

It has however made me think about my own life and what would happen. I know that it would devastate me is something like Cancer was to happen and to be honest with you is one of my worst fears. However I also realise that life is too short to sit by the sidelines and wonder 'What if'. My plan this year is to succeed in life with the house, the family and the other challenges that get thrown at you. Life is a roll-a-coaster of emotions, but the main thing in all of it is Family, Friends and you!

I am looking forward to this year and am hoping that the start of it is just a small bump as has not got off to a good start, but the rest of the year will be of satisfaction in making the garden go from a bog to a picture out of a magazine and the family will work together as a unit again after a couple of rough years of dis-connection. It is going to be a challenge and probably a hard one at that, but I hope a good one.

SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!!!!

Wow, we have sooooo much snow!

We have been making an igloo outside on our driveway with just the snow from our drive as it is at least 8 inches deep!

Tim our 3rd son had the snow up to his bottom!!

We are apparently expecting more snow and also more cold weather for at least the next week.

I will post some photos once I have downloaded them of all the snow and also our magnificent igloo that we are hoping to finish tomorrow hopefully

Happy New Year

Wow, I still can't believe that we are in 2010! the past decade has just flown by.

Happy New Year to everyone

The new year has started off as most do with me & a cold! I have been struggling for the past few days with glands being up :( Also my brain is tick tick ticking at night so sleep is proving difficult.

However, I am feeling optimistic about this year as everything negative happens for a reason and I am feeling that we are learning everyday with challenges that come about.

The first challenge of the year is to get back on top of the house!! Springclean & De-clutter is the words of the day
