cucumbers, cheese & something healthy for me too please

last night at dinner, Kai was crazy about eating all the cheese out of the salad and Josh was the same about the cucumber. all i can say is that I'm so glad they like healthy food :)


life with children is an awesome, exhausting, fun, learning, challenging and inexplicably rewarding ride. it helps us mature, reassess priorities and become less selfish. and so much more

aside from still feeling sick, I would not want my life right now to be any different. and i want to always remember to thank God for that. always.

i've been really busy with home and work lately. and altho I've sat many times at the computer to do a new post here, something else has seemed a little more pressing at the time. and that's ok.

there's been some issues at work that have needed a lot of prayer, wisdom and courage. I have found I lacked in at least one area in at least part of the issue at times, and am relieved that it is over, at least my part in it is. i am constantly reminded of how easy it is to do what we think is right in our own eyes...and that following Jesus can be downright uncomfortable at times.

one of my favourite childhood memories was getting to lick the bowl/beaters when mum made a cake. it's really nice to see my own children doing that now too :)

lol...no that's not cake that ella is eating :) she started on solids just yesterday - nearly 5 months old. The boys both started between 5-6 months so she's a little earlier, and doing well.

i've been in bed for the past 4 days with probably the worst flu/throat infection I've ever had :( each time I thought I felt better and got up, I wouldn't last long. After having dinner with the family on friday night I ended up back in bed very quickly and could barely even communicate. Not a nice bug at all. God is good tho, and worked thru Aaron to bless me with lots of TLC and Aaron and mum took great care of the kids so I didn't have to 'worry'. I'm so glad to be feeling heaps better today :)

probably lots of other news, but nothing I can actually remember right now. i really need to come up with some sort of diary system that works for me cause I'm forgetting A LOT. Hoping that things will be a bit easier when I finish up work soon.

hope everyone is well and having a good monday!

What a wonderful description of parenting. That should stay with me until the sun sets. Thanks.
