Will I fail an MOT???

I feel like I'm getting old...yes I know I can hear you all saying 29 not old.. my body as not coped that well with this last pregnancy getting all the bad thing that you don't want. Yesterday I had to visit the dentist to have a tooth putted out and then next week I go into hospital and have my gallbladder out.

And I'm more worried how Michael will cope with the kids than having surgery and looking forward to have full night sleep and waking when I'm ready. Is that sad that I have to go to hospital to get sleep??

Anyway that's just what is going threw my mind tonight. What am I going to feel like when I'm 40 :(

More of my boy

Markus at 11.5 wks growing bigger by the minute, compare with this post to see how much

His first night in the big cot, this night he slept 9hrs, yay!!!

I can't add to that bib, 11wks 6days

Starkers, after having a bath and massage. I'd just love someone to give me a massage after my bath every night.

And this one is for you Uncle Zi, it's not just daddy watching the rugby Markus loves it too.

(sorry not the best picture but he is laying there watching the TV very intently)

Job interview

Well I said in a recent post that Mike had applied for a job back in Australia, well on Tues (21st April) Mike will be interviewed by a college in Australia (via skype). So we ask that you all pray that the Lord's will be done. We would dearly love to return home but only if it's God's timing. So please lift us in prayer the week. May Mike be able to speak clearly and openly and be understood by the interview panel and give us patience as we await the out come of the interview.

We must be doing something right....

The other night Mike slept in Alexis' room so he could get a full night sleep (Markus as gone back to waking twice a night), and during the night he was woken by Lexy's mumbling. On waking a little more he realised that she was praying and praising God in her sleep. There is always that great joy when your children come to love Christ and He becomes a part of their everyday life, but never expect that they will be praying in their sleep.

All I can say is I hope I pray in my sleep too....

My Big Boy

Markus is by far my biggest baby, he just seems to grow like a weed. I can't believe how long he is. Alexis and Alyssa seem so much smaller than him. I've tried to get a smile on camera but when ever the flash goes off it startles him. So here are a few attempts

10wks 2days

Look at the length of him - 1owks 6days

11 wks

there is nothing like a sleeping babe, they look so peaceful and innocent

Play time - 11wks 1 day

CHEESE!!!!

We can't have Markus without Alyssa not far away, and when the camera comes out she get right in there. You've just got to love her.

Humpty Dumpty

The Bird tradition continues again this year .......

Humpty Dumpty Sat on a wall

Humpty dumpty had a great fall,

All the kings horse and all the kings men can't put humpty together again.

We went on Safari.....

Last week Mike was speaking at Scottish Churches house in Dumblane, so we took the opportunity to have a quick family break and went to the Safari park. We had great fun we just wish we had more time there.

Blair Drummond safari park opened in 1970 in the grounds of Blair Drummond house, which was purchased by Sir John Kay a Glasgow tea merchant in 1916. Having no sons he passed it to his nephew Sir John Muir father of the present owner Jamie Muir. The house remained a family home until 1977 when it was sold to the Camphill Trust, a charity that cares for people with special needs. The existing late – Victorian house replaced a mansion house built in 1715, which was sited in what is now the giraffe enclosure. Most of the remaining trees in the park date from the period of the earlier house.

There is so much to see and do, there where so things we didn't get to do because we didn't have time.

Yes that is Alyssa going down on her own, she has no fear and just had a blast on the slide, just has well it was the only ride that was free.

Markus just chilled in his buggy, he did get to have a swing with mummy on the play ground so he wasn't left out.

The way the park is set up you get to drive threw the animal enclosures, we really look forward to going back soon.

March

Well March has just flown by... I thought that I'd start giving you a monthly update

Markus started smiling at the beginning of the month, he has the most amazing eyes when he smiles

My wee little prince....Alyssa is starting early dressing him up

My beautiful Princess

Alexis was 9 on the 27th, the time has just gone so fast. She had a pink princess sleep over party. The girls were great we had pink food and watched the Princess dairies 1 & 2.

Markus had to join in on the fun, I don't think it will be the last time Markus will be wearing pink crowns.

Alyssa loves to play with the camera and she has taken these 3 photos, didn't she do a good job.

We moved up to the big bath this month, we still us the baby bath but sometime it is just easier to throw Markus in with who ever is in the bath or shower. He is crying above because Alyssa pour water over his head....not happy Jan.....

I toke our car into Inverness last week to be serviced, so i didn't have to wait around town all day Markus got his first trip on a train.

He was fascinated by it all and spent a good amount of time looking out the window.

My Boys.....

All in all we have had a good month, We are getting use to there being 5 of us. Markus is sleeping better, so that means Mummy is too.

The big news of the month is that Mike has applied for a job back in Australia, can we please ask you to pray for this, we are both feeling the call home. Please pray that this God's will, if this isn't the job for him that God may open another opportunity.

Till next post.....blessings to you all.....Naomi
