Hello there!

Yes I still exist. Yes I am busy, but no great reason for not blogging. Have had good intentions but haven't done it. So here I am. I am acutally using Jamie's laptop and i really don't like the keyboard so i might not last long!

So what's happening in our house?????
Work work work lol. I am enjoying work, have had opportunities to do some stuff and there was a job i was considering applying for. I didn't but have been encouraged to ask if I could do a late app. But I won't, i do kinda want the work but it soooo not the right time for us. Being casual suits our family at the moment. Being an educator in a clinical environment is probably what would tick all the boxes for me. Being that I can't imagine going back to the public sector thats probably not even something that will come up with the private setting here. Who knows, time will tell. Right now family has to be the priority.
Jamie has a fair bit on which is good. We are also selling two systems, one of which will allow for the purchase with what I very much hope will be THE final system to cover all bases. The other will cover the majority of our debts taking pressure off. So all that is great. We are also waiting on hearing about a contract, which will also be very beneficial. It will mean a lot of sacrifice for our family and the girls will probably struggle with it a bit but thats what it takes.

Girls - they are good, have had colds and Mia has been quite unwell but they are both getting better. Sleeping has improved a little too, particularly the going to bed bit. There for a while they were both calling out heaps and stuff. Driving me nuts!

I need to write down some stuff about Mia. You kinda always think you'll remember this stuff, but experience tells me you don't cause I've forgotten stuff about Bethany already.

Mia
- at 2 years 5mths is a very funny little girl
- she wants to have long hair so gets around with either long ribbons, scarves or even tea towels on her head!
- she's very independent, hard to talk her in to doing anything
- her speech has really improved in the last 2-3 months, you can now have a good conversation with her. Not much is not understandable. Definite sentences now with only the little joining words missing
- one word used a lot is 'no'
- she was calling Bethany "B Howell" but that has changed in the last week to 'Befany'
- Eddie is still her most loved and fave friend. As soon as she has him, the fingers go in the mouth
- she is a very cuddly little girl, often the arms are up in the air with 'cuddle' the instruction
- she loves her purple beanie, often wears it to bed!

I think thats it for now, i'm sure i'll think of more.
