And so are the days of out lives...

Life is busy, busy, busy here. It's just WONDERFUL!! and exhausting too.


I have finished off two layouts. YAY!!!

This first one is from whe Ali was born and lists all her birth stats...






And the I have scraplifted myself and done the same for Ben...



Now I just have to track down a photo of Andrew to do one for him. I have plenty of pics of course but was hoping to find one of him being weighed or measured as well.


I took some snaps of the kiddos the other day that I would like to share. I have actually framed these and two and a half years after painting the walls I am actually going to get some pics up ...well that's the plan.




That's about all for today. Everything is going really well here. Ben continues to be a delight and Andrew & Ali continue to be the little balls of love and energy that they always are. Mark is moving on to new ventures. He has handed in his notice and starts a new job in a couple of weeks as well as working on his own business ventures. It's a very exciting time.

As for me??? My biggest news at the moment is that I am getting good at going to bed early. I was even in bed asleep by 9:35 last night. That has to be some sort of record!!! (Then I was up at 12:30, 4:30 and the 5:45 when Andrew decided it was time to get up!!!)

I don't think that I mentioed in my previous post that Andrew has renamed Ben...

Rocket Spaceship Alien Fire

He just rattles it off whenever he is asked what his brother's name is or when he is talking about him. Sometimes the order changes though. LOL!

Thanks for visiting.

I'm still here!

It's been a little while between posts but I am still here.
Lots going on here. Mostly everyday stuff. Busy with feeds, nappies, cuddles and keeping Andrew & Ali entertained.
Ben is just wonderful. It is amazing how different these first few weeks have been. After having lots of trouble, in the beginning, feeding A & A, Ben has been a breeze. I can't tell you what a difference it has made to getting through each day. It's really hard to actually put into words.
Ben had his first trip to the doctor last week. We discovered that he was tongue tied and could hardly move his tongue at all. With a couple of little snips he is free to move it about now. Mark helped the doctor while I kept Ali & Andrew and myself distracted by looking at the medical posters around the room. I didn't want to see or hear anything but it turned out to be a very easy procedure and after about 5 seconds of crying he was fine.

OK so photo time. (That will stop me babbling!!)

First of all is Ben having a nap the other night and just being cute!

Look at those long fingers...


The proud big brother and sister with Ben at the park.

And a couple more with Andrew & Ali...

On board Puffing Billy...



Andrew & Ali have both been wonderful with Ben. They adore him. They are so gentle and love just sitting and holding him or holding his hand. They love to help pat his back when it's time for burping and there have been lots of arguments about who lays on which side of him when he is lying on the play mat. LOL!

"Where's Ben" is the first thing I hear in the morning.

HOWEVER!!!! They are also testing the boundaries. They are fine when they are busy but turn your back for one second...


Last but not least I have actually done some scrapping. Well technically I just finished off a couple that have been sitting here for a while. It still counts though...



I am being a very good girl and trying not to stay up to late at night so I am going to head off now. I'll be up again in a couple of hours. :)
Take Care
