We are here...

and have been for the past 2 weeks and I know I have been bad and not updated at all about our trip.

We arrived to the worst dust storms in Sydney in 70yrs.....check out the photos...

We have spent time in Tamworth with my folks, it was so cold there that I had to go and buy Jumpers and slippers. We then moved on to Toowoomba to my sisters house, where I have been for the past week. We have been busy doing wedding stuff, programs..printing and re printing, and wedding favors.

Today we made it down to Brisbane and are staying with our good friend the Beckers, they have 4 girls. So with 6 girls and Markie the house is busy but they are all getting along really well. Here is a picture of the girls after a swim this afternoon, they had to have a bath because it was so cold...

Ears

Lexy has been asking for ages to have her ears pierced, in our family we have all had our ears done when we were 10... but at 9yr 5mth we gave in and let her get then done so she could were ear rings at Courts wedding in October. My little girls is growing up, there are days that just can't believe i'm a mother to a almost 10yr. I'm so proud of her showing great responsibly in looking after her ears, cleaning them and turning them.

doesn't she look grown up?

Viola

Last night Lexy's string club had a recital....ever heard a hall full of 9-12yr old playing string..viola, violin, and cello. Well not the best sound in the world but boy they put all their heart into it and it wasn't to bad. By far the best song of the night was Mamma Mia, it sounded amazing. Then all the Kids from Lexy's school played the Conon Waltz, because the school is called Conon Primary. By all the night was enjoyable evening. The 2 little one did well for the 1 hr and Mike, well he was at home in Bed.

I was toward the back with baby in arms so these are all the photos i managed to get....Lexy is the one with the pink head band!

Home

Well I'm home!! I don't know if that is good thing, I few days in bed in hospital sound very appealing right now. I have had a lot more pain and discomfort than I thought, yesterday (thur) was a really bad day, today was better but i feel like my head is in the clouds. I'm sporting 4 little keyhole spots.

Yesterday I was explaining to Lexy what the surgeon did to me, saying that they cut into different spots to put the instruments in... And she said what kind of instruments...trombones, guitars, saxophones...it hurt to laugh at that one. She is taking after her daddy in the humour department.

I just keep reminding myself each day will get better.

A big thanks to all my helper , particularly Myra, Sheila, Liz and Andrea.

And an even bigger thanks to everyone for all the prayer!!

Lexy performing in the National Youth choir of Scotland.

Sorry the photo quality is poor......On the 2nd of Dec after only 8weeks as a choir they performed for the mums and dads. They did as amazing job too.
