...on the fact that I haven't blogged for almost two months. There's no point me apologising, since it's my prerogative to blog or not to blog, and listing the reasons why would just bore you. Let's just say I'm in a phase of my life where scrapping and blogging come a long way down the list of my priorities. Sad, but true.
So, since I last popped on here to say hello, alot and not alot has happened.
We survived the remainder of the summer holidays and continued to have a whole heap of fun. Including such things as a Bank Holiday picnic in the park, where it rained, but we continued to sit, as only us Brits do, in the raining, cold, wet and yet still persisting with our picnic.
We extended our little family a little more, and welcomed Galaxy and Orbit into our lives. We love them more than we thought possible, and think our family is now finally complete :)
Bella started school and looked super-cute in her uniform. She didn't settle at first, I'm guessing because she found it hard to be one of 23, rather than the whole universe revolving around her. She's settled now though and loves school, and is already reading little words!
Jon took me to see Madam Butterfly at our local theatre, a show I've been wanting to see for ages. Lisa and Ralph arrived, and we went to a wedding, all in one weekend.
I went back to work and am now working pretty much full-time.
We have started looking at new schools for Cam and feel very confused about it all.
Half-term soon came around, and we spent a lovely week relaxing, walking, playing, swimming.
Then we went to Centerparcs and had a wonderful time there.
In amongst all this Maddie left gymnastics, joined Brownies, went on a Brownie Camp, left Brownies and re-joined Gymnastics. We had a day at the river, a day at the sea, a day by the lake and some days in the garden with a slide and paddling pool. Cam started rugby and made the first team. Jon got down on one knee and proposed another ten years with me and presented me with a beautiful ring. That reminds me, we celebrated our tenth weddng anniversary. My baby brother turned 18.
I had a sad couple of weeks but know that life goes on. News came which put our money worries and cold house/dead boiler into perspective.
We had Halloween parties, Parent's Evenings, trips to the cinema, some meals out, some poker, various social evenings,
Last weekend we had our bi-annual Cropaganza, this time with Ifa Zainon teaching us three lovely classes, and we had a great day.
Today I went to a cupcake decorating workshop with Deb and Julie where we had a lot of fun, but have not left as Cupcake Connoisseurs.
Very little scrapping has been done, and my stash is piling up. Life is hectic and busy but I'm hoping to get back to it soon.
I'll leave you with these family pics, and tomorrow will upload some layouts that I've done over the past two months.
