Whats Happening

Hey well I guess its about time to update you on all thats happening with Jeff and I. We can't let the kids take all the limelight.
Well Jeff is enjoying his job, it is starting to become very busy as we are leaving summer behind us. This weekend he has left me to join 15 other men, to embrace freedom and enjoy some time away fishing. Something Jeff has never done in an Ocean or maybe even on a boat. So he is quite excited, they headed somewhere up the coromandel coast and to be honest I have no idea when they are returning.
I'm left at home to experience being a single mum, and so far so good. Jeff couldn't have picked a better weekend to go away as Hayley is cutting her eye teeth and is unconsoluable. Thank goodness for pain relief.

I was a bridesmaid for a friends wedding a couple of weeks back which was fun, and the duathlon didn't fall on the same weekend. I was unable to do the duathlon as it was kinda expensive to enter and I also got a wonderful virus thing from my adorable children.
But I am still going to the gym and biking alot which I really enjoy.
I am still undecided what this year will hold for me. I have applied for a job at the local hospital as a Nurse aid in the paediatric ward, and have been shortlisted for the position. If I got the job then I would look at studying to be a nurse also.
At this point I don't know if I'm ready to go back to work, or if I actually want to. We are undecided if we are going to have another child. And then there is the fact I have Gall stones which requires surgery. I am on the urgent list but I could be waiting up till 8 months for this to be done. So at the moment its just one day at a time and seeing what it brings forth.
So yeah pray that God will give us clear direction in the road he wants us to pursue.

The birthday continues

Caleb seems to think that every day should be his birthday. He was greatly dissapointed when he couldn't find anymore Happy to you cake. And even more so when I said he only gets one cake and I would not be making him another one till his next birthday.



The dissapointment was soon gone as we presented him with his new playground. Caleb and hayley are getting loads of enjoyment out of it, but it has become something that needs constant supervision. Hayley is quite the climber, while I was making dinner, I could hear Hayley squealing with excitement and Caleb laughing. I looked out the window to see Hayley standing quite proudly at the top of the slide about to go down. She has no fear of anything, reminding me constanlty that she cannot be let out of my sight for even a second.

Calebs birthday is celebrated at Mainly music

My little boy has turned 3, wow its crazy how time flys. It was so cool to see Caleb understand all that was happening and that he was going to have a day that was all about him. And of upmost importance to a 3 year old he was going to have a Happy to you cake ( as he called it).
We celebrated with a family dinner and of course his birthday cake which he made sure everyone knew about and admired the minute they arrived.
