Christmas, New Year Celebrations and Some Birthdays Too!

Phew! It's only a week into 2014 and it's already been busy! First up I thought I'd post just a couple of pictures from Christmas. It was so fun, and so relaxing!We spent Christmas eating, watching movies and going to the beach. We Skyped with family and friends and saw friends here. It was so good! Little Miss Penelope seemed a little bewildered by the whole concept, but seemed to enjoy it I think!

The looks on their faces opening the new Fairy Floss maker (cotton candy for all you non-Aussies!) OVERJOYED!!






Little Miss Penelope didn't really get all the commotion but I did think it was amusing to see her surrounded by presents in her walker, trying to eat some of hers! No, they aren't all her gifts but rather some of her sisters' as well! 




After the Christmas chaos was done, we had Miss Emily's birthday! Her and her best friend in the entire world, Miss Olivia both turned 12 in the space of a month. So we decided to hold them a joint party at Miss Olivia's house. Therefore it was a pool party, and very much appreciated by the two misses in question!


 Little Miss Siena wanted in to that pool so badly! The girls swam and listened to the oh so lovely (not) One Direction, and squealed like only 12 year old girls can squeal. They ate slushies and fairy floss and had a sausage sizzle lunch followed by cake.



Then my oldest friend in the world (and I mean oldest by how long we've known each other, not age seeing as she is only a couple of weeks' older than me!) came to visit for a week. New Years' Eve is also her birthday, so after she arrived we spent it with friends having a good old time. We may have had a little better time than first thought, seeing as we had to walk home around 2am and pick up the car later on New Years' Day!! Luckily we only live around the corner! Both babies surprisingly (or not...it was kinda noisy!) saw in the new year. Definitely surprising was how relatively un-cranky they were!

This was taken pretty close to the magical midnight mark!

We have also spent a lot of time at the beach in the last couple of weeks; almost every time, this is what Little Miss Penelope ends up doing.

Wrapped in a towel sleeping off all the sunscreen that was meticulously applied....

We've also been up to Perth City and been to Kings' Park as well, but more about that in tomorrow's post. :)

Summer!

Image
I've been seeing all these photos of snow everywhere courtesy of Facebook and Instagram. Can I say I'm kind of jealous at the moment? I always loved summer, the consistency of long, hot, sunny days just made me happy. But as I get older it starts to wear a bit thin when it's ridiculously hot.  According to the news, our summer hasn't been too hot (although it feels like it has been), and we've had a few milder days and colder nights in the last week or so which was awesome. We have had 15 days over 35 celcius (95F), in January, and I know there were a few in December and November too. But today is another one, and according to forecasts we are set for a record breaking heat wave over the next week. It's supposed to get up to 42c (110F), and not go below 39 celcius (103), for at least the next week possibly longer. I got a text message from the girls' high school earlier today advising about the extreme weather for next week which I've never had bef

Time To Say Goodbye

Hey Folks out there in internet land. This year is heading towards a close and it's got me thinking about what I had hoped to achieve this year and what I haven't gotten done.... In the last few years we've been thrown some pretty major shit and each year end I say "good riddance to this  year and here's to next year being better!" And the next year isn't better so it's getting kind of old.  Since 2012 (so five years), we've dealt with 3 miscarriages, an extremely difficult pregnancy that apparently should have resulted in two babies but didn't, a busted back, an ectopic pregnancy that nearly cost me my life and did cost my fertility. That was followed by pneumonia then a Femoral hernia. In addition to that, we've had to deal with me losing the ability to use my right leg and foot for over a year, more damage to my back, more hospital visits than I can count and stress beyond all belief. There has also been stress from teenage kid

2013, A Look Back

Image
Today is a stay at home do nothing kind of day - I don't even plan on getting out of my pj's. And so as I sit here and reflect on the past year it occurs to me that it has been pretty full on! So I thought I'd do a post on what happened, month by month. So much can change in 12 months, it's interesting to look back and remember things.....I wonder what 2014 will bring? January ...saw as it always does, Miss Emily's birthday and mine as well as a big cross country move! On the way Penelope gave us quite the scare before we knew she was Penelope that is, and proved to us that she really is destined to be a superhero!   My Dad and The Awesome One packing our shipping container for the move Driving across the Nullarbor Plain on the way to Western Australia February came and we found out that our Little Lord Nibbler was actually going to be Little Lady Nibbler! The kids started school for the year, The Awesome One set up my art studio and I star
