Lifeline bookfest i am coming...

Oh how i love to buy old books.. And its the lifeline bookfest! I will go and fill a TROLLEY this year, discarding my nana trolley as too small. I have 6 bookcases,CRAMMED and love buying MORE AND MORE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!! ok thats enough:) still havent heard re house- im not hopeful to be honest,having 5 kids is not a good thing when it comes to renting,sad but very true. But we should find out tomorrow. Hubby back to work tomorrow, i am a little worried as to how i will cope after having him home for 3 weeks. i will mange, i usually,stress,USUALLY cope. Im going with an old photo tonight, havent chosen one yet,wait...hehehe we went out to dinner one night, the whole family, me ,Simon and our 5,Mum,Dad,my sister,my brother and his (now ex)GF. My kids were nuts, as usual, luckily it was a noisy pizza place so no one cared.Luka was about 5 months old,this is me trying to pacify BOTH my sooky boys:)

Just me and my guys tonight

The girls are going rock climbing this afternoon, then sleeping at Auntie Belbies, so its just me and the boys. Simon and I have all our stuff together, and are handing rental forms in today, so itll be 48 hours before we know. went and had a look at the place, the yard is HUGE but BARE there is 1 tree! So we will se how we go, the school looks good, tiny, just what im looking for for Rani. And they could walk if they had to!
It is getting toward Feb 2nd, the date i lost (1 of ) my baby. Poor little Angel, i was 12 weeks, just starting to get a little pot belly. And had bought the 'home from hospital' outfit. And started to bleed. So i went for an ultrasound (thanks Doc #2), after being told by Doc #1 ' youre overreacting, go home' . And he ( im sure it was ) was dead. And they said ' well it cant stay there, IT will have to be removed' oh my baby.... so thats what happened. and i know i have 5 healthy babies, still never forget my Angel, and my 2 other babies lost earlier in pregnancy ...So i will mark the 9th anniversary by cuddleing the kids EXTRA hard, and reading them that extra story, cos i know how blessed i am...

someone REALLY loved my sausage rolls last night,mmmmm

The holidays are almost over- not that i got any:)

Well its only 1 week until Simon goes back to work, and 2 weeks until the kids go back. Applying for a house in the morning- and although i realise we HAVE to move, i am a little sad. We have brang 3 babies home to this house. Conceived our 2 longed-for-sons. Saved our marriage(after awful 2008) All these memories... Painting that 3rd bedroom in BLUE(that was a great moment) playing Bratz in the barbie dream house under Ranis window, 7 christmases, countless birthdays, our wedding (finally), it goes on and on. I know ill love a new house, and this neighborhood is AWFUL i dont want to raise my babies here, but i will be a little sad...
On another hand altogether, i have been really snap happy all day, the camera hasnt left m y side. Looking at all the blogs on here, amazing photos, i am INSPIRED... Im excited i managed to get a few good shots of Lukas eyes, they are so amazing suck me right in... Thinking today about how much he has grown, seems like only a little while ago he was so tiny,those little froggy legs and fuzzy little head...My sweet little Lulu (nickname of the moment ,or Lou), dont stop being a mummas boy xxx Tried to get a picture of all the kids on the trampoline this afternoon, this is the best of a very bad bunch,lol, Luka was NOT co-operating...

Tuesday 13th January 2009

Early risers, Luka and i , usually up by 5:30am... Too early! I am feeling inspired today, have already gotten both cameras out, and plan on doing a quick clean so i can concentrate on taking pictures. Already took this one of Luka , too show off his eyes- they are like glass, deep blue, with a brown stripe in the left.

I am overwhelmed!!

i really swore to myself that i would be on here EVERYDAY!! well i had good intentions anyway,lol. Christmas is over, a crazyhouse of wrapping paper and toys, i love it. Luka was really into it this year, and loved all his presents,especially the ark Santa bought. Now there is only 2 weeks of holidays left, and we have to move BEFORE school starts, ooooh noooo i am starting to get stressed out!! We have had a fun holiday though, spending time with friends, a trip to the river for the day, and another to Bribie Island.
