Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

WOW. I just can't believe how time flies.My last blog was back on Dec 1 08 and here i sit at the end of January wondering where the time has gone..So much has happened and never enough time to sit down and add to my blog page.



December was filled with last day at school in grade 5 for Jake and Tayn and Zian were attending kindy two days a week. We had Tayn and Zians xmas concerts in late December and what a treat that was...

Christmas this year was celebrated with Dave's family in Cairns and we visited for 5 days..had a lovely time and kids enjoyed being trully spoilt by them.Thanks to Kim for giving up her unit for us to stay in aorconditiong comfort.

Boxing day:
ZIANS 2nd BIRTHDAY.
We left Cairns in morning and travelled home to Townsville and celebrated with a DORA cake with Nanny and Grandad.
We will always celebrate Zians birthday with a cake within our own family on Boxing day, however she will always celebrate her FOREVER DAY 25th Feb with friends and extended family members. This will celebrate her day as us becoming her family and as she entres school she can then celebrate with school friends her birthday which she otherwise would never have due to christmas and families travelling.

New Years we celebrated at Rollinstone caravan park camping with friends and giving the kids the freedom of which comes with camping....This new year is to be our year.

My new years resolution is for it to be all about me...To make time for me to love me and to care for me.

School holiday just flew by and really diddnt achieve to much...

Last week of holidays my 2 girlfriends and myself took our selves camping without the husbands/partners for 3 nights and had a wonderful time.The husbands and 5 other families joined us on the friday of Australia day weekend..What a wonderful trip we had. We also celebrated Chinese New Year..
I had organised a family treasure hunt and some craft for chinese New year and for Australia day we did a thong throwing ,tug-o-war, played tee ball and did tattoos and hairspraying...We had a great time and kids had a blast.I think we counted 19 adults and 23 children.

Chinese New Year eve we came back to Townsville to Celebrate with ZIans adoption group and had a wonderful dinner at the Sun Doo restuarant. Zian wasnt to excited by chinese music or danging Lion.She gets quite distressed and does like anyone chinese talking to her...This i am unsure of what the issue for her is yet.

Jake and Tayn have started at a new school , Annandale Christian School and are both very happy with the change.Dave and i are so proud of them both for undertaking the change and giving it a really good go in their first week. Jake has already signed up for Chess program.. Zian wanted to stay in Tayns Pre-prep class and i had to pull her out crying...

So my weeks are going to fly past now with school runs and all afterschool activites....

Jake is doing chess tennis and soccer.Tayn is doing little sports stars tennis and soccer and Zian is doing swimming and hopefully dance....
Dave is back at work and busy as usual...

So this year keep posted as i hope to update more regular than end of last year..
