Just a thought........

Happy Birthday Alyssa

My Baby was 3 today. I feel like time is just flying by and I have little time to catch up.

Anyway here are a few fact about m baby....

Favourite food - Chocolate (girl after my own heart) followed closely by baked beans on Toast

TV Show - IN the night garden and Lazy Town

Favourite things to do- getting changed, she would be in a new outfit every 10 minutes if I didn't stop her. Playing with anyone who will give her some time.

Favourite Toy - Uppsi Daisy Doll, Doctor's set and Baby Annabel.

She has this contagious laugh and cheeky grin, she just loves to help in the kitchen and around the house. Just last week I was putting her to bed and I told her that I had to do the dishes... "Mummy I help, it's fun" let's hope that last till she is 15.

Well Alyssa, my prayer for you this year is to be able to understand more of Jesus, continue with your loving nature, and just enjoy being a little girl...love...laugh...live.

Love Mummy

Here are a few photos from the week,

This one (above) was from a couple of weeks ago but it just so cute. She was playing in her room and you know that when it all goes quiet you think OH NO!! what is she into this time, this is what I found...so precious
Dig the pose!!!
Sarah and Lexy Blowing hard!!
Sisters, I find it hard to get a nice photo of the girls together, I was pleased this turned out so well.

(Sorry for any spelling mistakes..my spell check isn't working)

I'm joining the work force again.....so look out!!!!

Well today I did something that I haven't done in a long time.... I had a Job interview and got the job on the spot. It has been 9 years since I have had to interview for a job, I can hardly believe I have been out of the paying work force for that long. Being a mother has been rewarding, stressful and a great blessing, but it is time to start the process of re-entering the work force. We I can hear you all ask What's the Job?? Doing my dream job of working in a craft store call "Craft Central Ltd" , and even better it is only Saturday work. So I'm not having to look for childcare, it will be a Daddy Day. I'm really excited about doing this work, I start this Saturday (16th) and work a full day 9am-5:30pm.

Thanks to those who knew about the interview and prayed for me, I had planned on posting about the interview but I only dropped my CV in on Saturday so it has all happen very fast.

Must go, Mike has invited some of his students arround for dinner tonight, so I must get cooking.

I think we may have been here to long

Today is a lovely day the sky is blue, the sun is shining bright and it is 11 dregrees C. And while driving home day after have a wonderful and encourage visit with one of the college wives. Alyssa pipes up from the back seat, "Mummy, I don't like the sun. It's to hot and hurts my eyes". In all her 3yrs of life she may have seen about 300 day of sun. Just not the kind of thing that an aussie kid should be saying. How will she cope if we ever move back.... O dear I dread to think.

We had snow!!! At last!!!

These are the amazing sights that we woke up to yeaterday (Sat). We were all excited to finally have some snow worth playing in. Our last big snow fall was in March 2006.

This is the same photo from my last post, just this time no sun but plenty of snow

Alyssa was only 13months old last time we had good snow and didn't like the cold wet feel one bit, but this time round it was a totally different story. We couldn't get her inside, and this morning (sunday) she has little red cheeks from the cold and wind.


There was just no stopping her.

Lexy and her friend (not pictured) had great fun in the snow, making snow men and throwing snow balls at each other.
