So, its New Years Eve today and Im puzzled as to whether 2011 was a good year or not! Compared to 2010 it was much better, in many ways, but then in some, not at all! Losing a family member is never easy, and this year we lost a great man, no words could ever express. I was forced to revisit pages from 2010 that I wish I could have closed the book, never to open again! We lost our pet dog, Rusta! And sadly there were could of beens that weren't!
On the good side of 2011, there were holidays back home to see family, there was a beautiful wedding, there was alot more family time than usual, there was a new car, the one that I had wanted for so long, there was a new house, I got back into the workforce, family for Christmas and a new puppy! Why would I be complaining?! All these wonderful things, and yet those couple of things seem to have outweighed the rest, leaving me with lots of questions about life, and what we are really here for, I guess thats not a bad thing, just somewhat annoying, I liked my ignorant life I once led.
Saying that though, I have learnt from all these things, the good and the bad, I am a much happier person now and can finally truely appreciate everything I have been blessed with.
I have no resolutions, for I am not one to follow them through, instead I have a few prayers and wishes for 2012 ... Here's to a Happy New Year to all my family and friends xoxo

New things seem to be happening faster than I can catch the moment these days, and since finishing work with Santa Photos I have been able to find the time to catch up on these finer moments again ... My oh my, I was only at work for 7 weeks, and so much has happened! Apart from the even more newfound attitude BOTH girls seem to be sproting, they have also found many other new little things too. Felicity has a pet egg ... Yes, thats right, EGG! Im not sure where or how this has come about, but she loves this pet egg that much that she actually cares for it, she puts it in its case, she checks on it all day and in the moments that she can smuggle it out of the kitchen she will. This really stresses me out, what if she breaks the egg, especially on the carpet. If I boil it, will it got rotten quicker? I have even suggested a pet rock, but she is just super keen on this pet egg idea!
She has also found a new love of Barbies ... She recieved the beginning to her own little collection for Christmas and while she still loves all her Dora toys, she can play with her Barbies for hours! I have never seen Flick play so contently with any toy, even the Dora ones that she really really likes! Especially not Barbie, normally the girls cant play Barbies together without it ending in an arguement, but somewhere in the past 7 weeks they both seem to have grown up just that little bit that they can happily play for hours, contently, with minimal argueing ... Its absolutely LOVELY!!!
Taylah seems to getting much more confident on her scooter day by day. I thought it might be the other way around, but Flick seems to have taken a step back from the scooter and tricks now, but the 2 wheelers have definatley helped Tays balance, I am almost even considering taking training wheels off her bike? Maybe! We will see ;)
Taylah seems to have really bonded with Charli too, just like she did with Rusta. Its amazing really how she takes so easily with animals, I really do see her being a great vet if she ended up going that way. She is so caring when it comes to these animals. Flick is quite rough with Charli, and doesnt understand when to leave her be, Tay has always just had that special little something when it came to all our pets. Really sweet!
Charli Charli Charli ... I feel like a mother to a new born again! I am awake at 5am in the morning (and some mornings thats considered a sleep in) when Charli decides its time to go to the toilet and play ... She's a pretty good dog other than that so far though! We have very few accidents inside, and she wakes us up in the night to go to the toilet. She is still a puppy though and when she wants to play, she bites and bites and bites, and her teeth are ouchies! She is such a good eater too, I think Rusta was at first too though, so you never know! She is already part of the family and while Dan didnt want another small dog, once again the moment he met her he couldnt resist a big hug, and once again he was the one that she first warmed up to ... Hee hee ;)

Feeling Overwhelmed ...
This morning I said goodbye to my mum, dad and sister again. Moving away from family is always so much harder than it sounds at first. Goodbyes only get harder the more you have to say it, knowing you wont see them for so long again...
Christmas is DEFINATELY my most favorite time of the year!!!
Christmas has always been a favorite time of the year ... As a kid it was the presents I recieved, but as I got older I learnt to appreciate the other things too, like the valuable time I spent with family, the laughs and carefree atmosphere that surrounds the day! These days its all these things as well as the faces of my two beautiful daughters when they see all that Santa has brought. The girls generally get spoilt and as they get older the presents certainly dont get cheaper, and the lists are just getting bigger, so for the first time ever we decided to leave out ONE main present (and give them as a birthday present instead) ... I cant believe it went unoticed!!! They were happy with what they got. Our loungeroom was filled with mountains of Dora and Barbie, clothes, Tinkerbell and My Little Ponies ... And ofcourse, the new little puppy we had all been waiting for. Dan had to work so we all made our way into town to have lunch with him while he worked, and ofcourse, he pulled it off with success.
The girls got scooters, 2 wheelers this time. I cant believe Felicity has already worked it out, and she did it before Taylah!!! Not by much though. Felicity got lots of Dora, and happily shared with her sister. Taylah got lots of Barbie, and she too happily shared with her sister. They played with their Zhu Zhu pets together, and read their new collection of books together, Charli ran around with her new toys, and all in all, Christmas Day 2011 was a great day ... And cant wait to do it again in 2012, but hopefully with even more family members <3

I think the wishing fairies got mixed up :s
I made a Christmas wish this year ... And now that I think about it, it came true ... Its just REALLY REALLY mixed up!!!
I am not saying that I am unhappy about it ... But Im not happy about it either!
Just saying, perhaps!
Confused ... That APPARENTLY God has a plan?!

A Day in the Life of ...
Taylah and Felicity ...
Waking up each day is a total mystery with the two of them together, they might have a great day together and play so nicely, or they might have a day where they clash, ALL DAY! Well apparently today is one of those day! Its funny, they can be carrying on, screaming at the top of their lungs at each other and I can walk in and ask what the matter is, and they BOTH look at me stunned because they have either forgotten, or they just dont know! Or, they are both running their mouths as fast as they can to dobb each other in before the other gets the chance, blaaaahh! I love the days they play nicely. Generally this means they are playing in Felicity's room and making a mess in there (then Taylah might not have to clean the mess up), but they are happily making dinner in the toy kitchen, putting their babies to sleep, reading stories to their babies, or they might play with the mega blocks, Taylah always makes a castle, Im not 100% sure what it is that Felicity makes, but its cute, whatever it is ;). Sometimes they play Barbies together, this can most of the time turn out not so nicely, moreso because Felicity doesnt understand whats going on, and goes off to her own corner of the room ... With the Barbie Dolls ;) They like to do puzzles ... But not together. They DO like to colour in together! And painting is always an enjoyable experience too, mainly for them, hehe ;)
A day with them by themselves is always joyful, no matter what you do. You could be cleaning the house, and they are more than happy to put in a good helping hand. They are happy to play on their own, or with you in their presence. Cooking is always fun too. And when they are reunited again its one of the most excitng things to happen, so cute the love they suddenly have for each other ... Its Beautiful!
A day in the life of my girls ... I wouldnt change any of it for anything else in the world ... Even the days that are testing <3

Report Card in the Mail?!
Taylahs report card came in the mail yesterday ... My clever little munchkin should be very proud of herself!!! She is beyond competant in most areas of prep. Maths was competant and her other subjects were all beyond competancy!!! Mummy and Daddy are so very proud of her!!! Ofcourse we made her favorite dinner lasange for her efforts over the year and Uncle Jonny bought her a choclolate ... A BIG WHOLE CHOCOLATE TO HERSELF!!! Her eyes told us how amazing it was!
Well done my precious ... Big girl in Grade one next year ... Im excited to see the more exciting things you will learn!!!
Well done my precious ... Big girl in Grade one next year ... Im excited to see the more exciting things you will learn!!!
A Little bit of Hope
We have a visitor! Uncle Jonny and his girlfriend Jess flew up from Adelaide yesterday! The girls have been on cloud 9 since they heard the news, its so nice to see them interacting with family members they dont see very often, how they suddenly have a million new tricks to show off with, and Taylah so very proudly gets all her school stuff and awards and shows them off to her Uncle, and his new 'girlfriend' giggle giggle (from Tays direction) ;).
Its been nice for Dan and I too, to see him again and see that he is growing into such a young man, for someone who has quite a few dark clouds following him, done some things which might be hard to be forgiven by some, I think he has come along way, and he has done it all on his own. None of us could take the credit for the goodness in his heart. Talking to his girlfriend, Jess, broke my heart though. She is such a lovely girl, who is honestly looking out for his best interest, and it has come at a cost to herself, and yet, she is still willing to give so much more. I must say though, I am proud of the way he treats her. For someone who must feel so mistreated, he certainly shows her respect and appreciation. I do hope they are meant for each other, being so young I worry this is just lust ... I would love to be wrong, because they really are very cute together, and seem quite happy in each others presence. Something only time will tell I guess! For right now though, she is just what he needs ... She is keeping his feet on the ground, and pointing him in the right direction, and he seems comfortable with the way she does it, a change from the way we have all tried, love does amazing things I guess <3 I hope <3
I know he has made a lot of bad decisions and mistakes he will never be able to take back. He has hurt people he loves, and love him back. I hope that one day we will all be able to look beyond these things and remember where we were at his age ... What we were doing then, and who was there to continuously pick us up when we fell onto the wrong track, each time she was the one that picked us up, kicked us up the butt, and put us back on the right path ... More than once or twice, it was a constant thing she did on a regular basis, and was able to find it in her heart to forgive, each and every time, no matter how little or big it was ... When we remember who that person was for us, we will be able to see that she was absent from Jonnys crucial time of life lessons ... And others aswell ...
I just hope I wont be the only one that can see that he really is a good person, with mistakes up his sleeves, who still has many more mistakes to make, who needs to be shown love, and given love in return, who more than anything needs that forgivness that we were all given ... Even if it takes time ... I just hope <3

Kids xoxo
Well, it is totally official! My big little princess has survived her first year of school! And so did mum! And aswell as that, my adorable little girl won an award at the presentation night, a surprise for her as much as it was for me :) infact, she was so surprised that after being the first one called up she ner nerred all the other kids behind her as she danced onto the stage, it was a very classic moment, the audience were in stitches saying how cute she was ... Ofcourse, I already knew how cute she was ;) Just wish I caught the moment she danced up on stage proudly on the camera, it would have certainly made an appearance at her 21st!
Taylah can now very proudly count to 100, she knows all of her letters, what they each read and all the sounds they make together. She has learnt the first steps to reading, and ALOT about God ...
She has learnt to add and subtract, and is onto spelling out words like Dog and Cat. I am happy to say that she has definately enjoyed her first year at school, and learnt alot along the way, now she is excited to be in grade one next year ... And mummy is still getting used to the idea, all over again! But then again, Im starting to get used to that feeling too, hehe ;)
Felicity is loving daycare at Heidis house, and I am happy now that all the fees have been sorted out! She is lucky enough to get Heidi all to herself on Tuesdays, Heidi takes her shopping and gives her swimming lessons on tuesdays, these are probably her two most favorite things to do with Heidi, I especially like the shopping part because I always get a special little visitor <3
Felicity is able to count to 10 with ease, and goes up to 20, most times succesfully, but sometimes hits a little bump and forgets where she is at, she gets most of her ABC's, LMNOP is my favorite ... It tends to get slurred together ;).
I love these kids ... A little more as each day passes ... <3

Just needed a Whinge ...
Just ... Need ... To ... HAVE A WHINGE ... GRRRRRR!!!
Really annoyed with everything family daycare at the moment! This was supposed to be the cheaper option, but its working out to be no different, and as well as that, they cant bloody well organise my rebate!!! So frustrated!!! Its hard enough being paid monthly as it is, and this month I have already had to pay out, 2 weeks in advance with no rebate ... $224! Plus last weeks fees with no rebate ... $112 and now they want another weeks fees, WITH NO REBATE, another $112 :( Thats over $400 in 2 weeks, and I havent even started working yet, and on top of that Centerlink have already cut my payments off because I advised of my changing circumstances straight away, grrrrr! The main thing that is annoying me is the fact that I am still not getting my rebate, my family daycarer has told me that the rebate doesnt come into affect for the first 2 weeks anyway, and I cant talk to the lady that runs the business because her husband had a heartattack yesterday ... Grrrrr, I am so frustrated. So, thanks to the help of a lovely friend that is in the business herself, I was advised to give Centerlink a call, there I discovered that they hadnt even submitted any forms claiming for my rebate. Im so annoyed! Later I discovered that they wont submit anything until monday, and now we are waiting to see if it will even happen then because the director lady is obviously preoccupied with more important things, and I totally understand that family comes first, thats not what has me so annoyed!
Im annoyed becuase I dont see why I have to be out of pocket so much :( And Dan and I are back to the bickering of daycare fees!!! Grrrrr!
Not to mention the fact that Heidi and I are friends, I do like her, and I really dont want things to be awkward between us ... If it were anyone else I would have already told them to stick it! Grrrr!
Really, I just want my rebate sorted, so I dont have to be so out of pocket, I dont mind paying the 2 weeks in advance with no rebate if thats how it works, but the rest of it is really making me mad to say the least, grrrr ... How long is this going to go on for ... grrrr ...
Bla bla bla ... I must admit ... I do feel better now ... Until monday anyway ;)

Felicity Finally Learns to Sleep!!!
Finally, Felicity is going to sleep in her bed, by herself! It has only taken just over 3 years, but I finally decided to give it another try. The first night didnt work so well, with me giving in to the nonstop crying for just over 2 and a half hours, daddy let her fall asleep cuddling up to her. I was relieved to say the least but also knew that we had just made it an even harder task for the next night. So, the next day I talked about it with her ALL day! We played in her bed, LOTS! We read LOTS of books, IN bed! Pretty much my whole day was dedicated to how awesome her bed was, and to my surprise that night was an actual success, with barely any tears! We found a new rule that seemed to work a dream. She was aloud to read books in her bed, for as long as she liked, but she was NOT aloud to hop out of her bed. She came out to us once! ONCE!!! Yes, honest truth ONCE!!! It probably took her about half an hour to actually go to sleep, but she did it, without us nearby, and with barely any tears. And, she now sleeps in her own bed ALL night. WOW, I had started to forget what it was like to have one entire bedroom in the house that belongs to me and my husband. A kingsize bed that now has a whole side unused! My bathroom only has our things in it again. And finally the bedtime routine is in order again, the way it used to be :) I certainly hope this routine sticks around, I am loving the freedom of my space again!
We Will Always Love You Rusta ... and Welcome To The Family Charli
Happy Happy Happy ... And a tiny bit Sad ... All at the same time !
Im getting a new puppy ... She is the opposite to everything I thought I wanted, but she has already stolen my heart <3 ... At just two weeks old, she is a GIRL and she is BLACK AND WHITE!!! For someone that was convinced she wanted another just the same as Rusta, a boy and black and tan, I think this little girl will fit right in ... And in the hope that Rusta does return one day, I would like to think he wont feel like he has been replaced, and see her as a little friend for him instead.
Sad that Rusta still hasnt been found, I always knew that one day this day would come that he would run away and never be found again, I just didnt know how to stop it. I still feel guitly everyday that we didnt give him the training that he needed and deserved right from the beginning.
I have definately learnt my lesson though, this time things are going to be different. Its certainly helping that I am no longer a sleep deprived walking zombie, its a help that Felicity is no longer permanantly attatched to my hip, and we are getting her from a breeder this time ... Not a pet shop! The breeder will have her toilet trained before she gets here, fewe, although, I wont be surprised if she does have a little accident here and there. The girls have picked out a small fluffy toy of theirs each that they will sleep with for the next couple of nights and then they will be sent up to her so our scent is familiar to her when she gets here! So many little things Rusta wasnt so lucky to get :(
Her name is Charli ... With so much sentiment behind her name, I have a feeling she is going to have a few extra eyes looking over her. Charlie was my grandads name, one of the most precious people that I hold close to my heart. We also always thought that Cody was grandad reincarnated, for so many reasons, he refused to eat a scotch finger biscuit unless it was broken into 2, just like grandad did, and every new truck, or car we ever got, Cody walked around it as if he was inspecting it just like grandad would have, this was also something none of our other dogs ever did, just Cody. And for Rusta ... Nearly everytime he went missing, the people that found him that didnt know his name always said "we have nicknamed him Charlie for the night, he looked like a Charlie" ... So, thankyou to my very special four legged friends and my grandad I think I have found the most perfect name for my new little friend, Charli ... Who knows, maybe I have just found my grandma reincarnated ... Crazy?! Maybe! But no matter what, I cannot wait for my new little friend to get here and join my crazy family ...
And as for Rusta ... You ARE and ALWAYS WILL BE the BEST thing I have EVER brought home from the shops! Nothing will ever change that ... And nothing will ever change how much I miss you EVERYDAY!!! xoxo

We also always thought that Cody was grandad reincarnated, for so many reasons, he refused to eat a scotch finger biscuit unless it was broken into 2, just like grandad did, and every new truck, or car we ever got, Cody walked around it as if he was inspecting it just like grandad would have, this was also something none of our other dogs ever did, just Cody. And for Rusta ... Nearly everytime he went missing, the people that found him that didnt know his name always said "we have nicknamed him Charlie for the night, he looked like a Charlie" ... So, thankyou to my very special four legged friends and my grandad I think I have found the most perfect name for my new little friend, Charli ... Who knows, maybe I have just found my grandma reincarnated ... Crazy?! Maybe! But no matter what, I cannot wait for my new little friend to get here and join my crazy family ...
And as for Rusta ... You ARE and ALWAYS WILL BE the BEST thing I have EVER brought home from the shops! Nothing will ever change that ... And nothing will ever change how much I miss you EVERYDAY!!! xoxo

The Lessons in Life (You Didnt Even Realise)
Taking the time to think about my thoughts alot more lately, I have realised how proud I am right now, of so many things that are going on around me! Confident too, which is something I havent felt for quite some time now! With the combination of these two I cant help but be happy with my life, the people in it and where its going!
Proud ... Of Taylah! Everyday she is showing me more of the qualities she is developing as a person, a human being with feelings and emotions, just like the rest of us. Sometimes I wish I could change the attitude or behaviour, but her more important qualities are really starting to shine through! I am VERY proud of the latest life lesson my not so little cherub has learnt. She came home from school a couple of weeks ago and told me how some of the other kids at school had started to pick on her best friend Reyne because she is small and cant reach the monkey bars, she also commented that because she got her school uniform made to fit her, her dress did not have the logo on it and the kids were teasing her about that too. She seemed quite upset by the other kids behaviour, she didnt seem to understand why they could be so mean about something so silly ... Ofcourse this made me proud, but, the thing that made me most proud was a conversation we had last night! Taylah confessed to me that the kids at school are now also picking on her because she sticks up for Reyne, she so innocently told me how Reyne was her best friend and she really liked the fun that they had together, and how she is going to stick with Reyne because she didnt want to be nasty like some of the other girls. My heart melted, I believe there may have even been a tear in my eye. As I layed there and comforted her I realised that my little girl had made such a courageous decision, one that I am so proud of, it is not fair that these kids can pick on such a sweet, kind hearted little girl for something so trivial, and I am so happy that Taylah was able to see through the nasty girls, and stick to her heart! Reyne has a heart of gold, and I am so very glad that the two girls bonded at the start of the year, she comes from a loving family, and doesnt have a nasty bone in her body, it makes me so mad to think she is being teased over her height. Ofcourse it hurts to know that the kids are picking on Taylah too, and for something so rediculous is beyond me, but it makes me smile to know that she can see people for who they really are, I like that she can stand up for herself and for the ones that she cares about, and I especially like it that she didnt conform to fit in, and be in the popular crowd, instead she chose true friendship, one that I hope will last forever <3.
Also, she has nearly survived her first year at school, prep maybe, but I was worried it would be a big step, I realise now, it was probably a bigger step for me, and yes, I too survived it. I have missed her alot, but seeing her blossom and grow at school has also been nice to watch!
Proud ... Of my husband! Who has for over 6 years now, worked his butt off to get somewhere in his career, and boy has it really paid off. For someone who was constantly put in the back seat, while he waited patiently for his turn to get out there and show them what hes made of, he has finally done exactly that! And in true fashion too I might add, he has really shown the bosses whos really boss! Moving to Rocky, to run a struggling pub, that the big bosses thought had no hope in recovering, he has managed to get it to #2 out of 97 pubs Australia wide! Now thats an acheivment if you ask me! And its still going strong! He is already making all the right moves to get that bonus again next year!
Good job babe, I am proud of you, and perhaps I just dont say it enough!
Proud ... Of Felicity! ... Even if there is nothing to report, she still makes me smile every single day, even when I mad at her, she can still squirm one out of my stubborn face!
Proud ... Of Myself! Confident ... In myself! And Content ... With my life! Finally!
So many chapters responsible for my dwindling confidence, have slowly disappeared! Although the job front side of things did seem to take its toll on things, something finally came through! Hooray! My confidence finally found the most part of me again! I was happy, even though it is just a small job, something put that fire back, I could honestly wake up in the mornings excited that I was that one day closer to starting my job. Then, when I was asked to meet up with the set supervisor, I had high hopes! And thank God they were not crushed! At the meeting nothing was mentioned, just spoke about how I was organising child care around work and what hours best suited me, and lots of general small talk. I walked away from the meeting, not worried, but slightly crushed ... Until about 10 minutes later when my regional manager rang me and said that Kate wanted me to be her 2IC ... Oh, THANK GOODNESS!!! I cant tell you exactly how 'through the roof' my confidence skyrocketed right then and there! I know its nothing huge, but its honestly what I needed, I feel like I can take on the world at this moment, and hopefully this will make future job opportunities much easier! Suddenly I have forgotten what no confidence is like, and it feels GREAT to be back :) !!!

Getting Ready to Return to the Workforce!!!
Ohhh Myyy Goooooodnesss!!! How exciting, the time is nearly here and I will be going back to work VERY soon! I have sat on the phone with Centerlink, for way too long, but the outcome was much better than I thought! A weekly rebate now! Makes such a difference, I can actually afford to return to work this time!!! Hoooray! I was even able to get the extra hours on my CCB, oh, the relief. Now I am preparing Felicity to go back to daycare. I have moved her from a center and going back to the family daycare approach, something about the family daycare system really sits well, I feel so much more relaxed about it. Im not worried at all about how she is going to take it, she has known Zac pretty much since we moved here now, they get along well, particularly when she is playing with his toys (hehe) and she knows both Shannon and Heidi quite well. They are one of the first families we met here, Shannon is Dans head chef at work. Maybe its the familiarities that have me at ease with this scenario. All I know is that this time everything feels right, I am comfortable with everything and EXCITED that I am going to do something with my life again :)!
I am slightly worried that my house may fall to shambles with me not being here most of the time, I guess thats something that we can all finally work on together. Having a bigger house has made life much easier though, I was worried it would take forever to clean, but somehow its actually easier ... Maybe because there is lots if hiding cupboards hehehehe. I will have to be very strict with myself I think, I worked out a long time ago, it takes half an hour a day and its clean, miss a day and it takes 2 hours the next day!!! Not a huge problem at the moment, but next month 2 hours will be hard work!!! MUST KEEP ONTOP ... PLEASE!!!
I am certainly going to miss one on one time with my littlest monster ... I think we have both really enjoyed our one on one time together, I have learnt so much about her little personality that I had missed before we got this time together. She helps out so much when no one is here, as long as her little sidekick isnt here, she puts her toys away, cleans her room and unstacks the dishwasher ... She is my little shadow. Tay was never much of a shadow, she LOVED tv too much, FLicks not much of a tv person, she is so much happier being with me, no matter what Im doing. As soon as daddy and Taylah are home though, shes into mischief, I guess thats pretty typical for a 3 year old though. It will be good for Dan to see this side to her too I guess, it wont be long though and Taylah will be on school holidays, I think his plan is to go out everyday that I am at work and he has the kids haha. They will love it no matter what they do though, this last year hes had to work so hard toget the pub running well, I guess its nice that its paid off and he is able to spend his own quality time with them!

On Many Notes!
Oh my goodness, something has clicked and I am a cluck cluck clucking machine! I know I don't want anymore of my own, but I still love baby cuddles!!! I visited a friends new baby girl today, she reminded me so much of Flick as a baby, she cried and just wanted mums boob, I did manage to bounce her to sleep in my arms (which I was quite proud of, just quietly) and I got to see her precious tiny face relax for some time, but just like Flick she did not like it if I sat down, I didn't mind though, I guess I didn't with Flick until I got super tired too and then it was more frustration then anything ... So hard to believe we all start out that small, they grow so fast, it makes it so easy to forget! I can't wait to cuddle so many more babies! A special friend gets her turn in May ... And yes, I will be there to steal cuddles!!! I have already put so much excitement into this baby ... I think it's possibly even this little person that has brought on most of my clucking fit <3 ... Just quietly, I think this little person is going to be a little 'Princess' ... Who really knows though, I have never been any good at that game ;)
Well, my budding vet has changed her mind ... Taylah no longer wants to be a vet, her friend Reyne also wants to be a vet, she said Chelsea wants to be a doctor and Erinn wants to be a marine biologist (I know, these kids are supposed to be in prep, 5 years old!) so Taylah now wants to be a princess when she grows up, and live in a castle and wear a crown. She really has it all sorted too, she seems to have put alot of thought into this career path, she's even going to have a pony called Tiara! Oh, and her castle won't have a dragon! If you ask me, that would be my pick of the bunch too ... Talk about wishful thinking, but that's what being 5 is all about, I'm quite proud of her ambitious imagination!
Felicity is learning to make friends ... Shes clever, she only likes the friends that have the cool toys! She will even tell you so! I have also discovered she's very good at packing up ... Apparently she forgets how to do it when she gets home though ;) she also has made her first Christmas list :S, an iPod tops the list :s ... Something tells me she is becoming more and more like her dad, I can deal with that I guess, but I really really need to find a good paying job!!! Eeeeek!!!
I can finally say I have a job!!! Yay!!! I'm going to be a Santa photographer! So happy about it, I do wish it was for longer, but right now, I'm just happy to have a job! And so in the Christmas spirit!!! I have told the girls I will be working for Santa ... Might have to start preparing for questions to begin though, I'm definately not ready for the truth to be revealed! I love the magical feeling the Santa myth brings!!! So much more than just presents, even if the kids are too young to understand the whole deal!

A Hidden Little Gem!
Celebrating our wedding anniversary has turned into more of a family celebration these days, the girls get just as excited as we do! So it seems only fitting that we do something all together as a family, so this year we packed the car up and went to a little beach down the coast called Agnes Waters, in the township of 1770! Wow, this place is absolutely beautiful! I can see why the locals live there! With not much there other than a beach and a rainforest it would be easy enough to think it could get boring, but somehow I don't think so. The water is crystal clear, there are surf waves, and there are bays with no waves at all, just the flat serenity of calm water! There is lots and lots of bush walks, most lead to the beach (well, the ones we found did anyway) and islands to go and explore too, but you can only get there by boat! People there are so nice and quite carefree! The main beach just buzzes with all walks of life, there are the surfers, lots of kids being taught how to surf by their dads, something that you just don't really see these days! There are families everywhere! Teenagers hanging out! Lots of backpackers! Hippies! Retirees! Everyone, and everyone seems to get along! We stayed in a little cabin, it looked out over a pool onto the treetops and in the far distance over all the treetops we could see the beach ... This place us truly amazing! Oh, and I almost forgot ... It was raining for the whole first day!!! And it was still this spectacular!!! Ofcourse when the sun finally did come out it was even more spectacular!!!
The girls had fun too, we went exploring, swimming, lots of swimming! They helped daddy wax his surfboard, and Taylah gobbled her dinner down faster than I have ever seen her eat ... Even her veges!!! Felicity finally went to sleep too!!! We also discovered that just maybe Tay could be a marathon runner ;) ... We went for a 2pm walk/run to the beach and couldn't believe it, as long as we let Tay be the leader she was a solid competitor, just didn't stop ... Or slow down ... The only reason I (kind of) kept up to her at the end was because I couldn't let her be alone on the bush, boy, was I puffed! Was very proud of her, even more so when we read the sign that told us we had just ran/walked 2km, Tay was pretty proud too!!!
Overall, this place a definately a hidden gem! So far out of the way off the highway! A place you never hear about! I am so glad we found this place though, such a peaceful spot, with so much love in the air, so many reasons to sit back and enjoy life! I cannot wait to go back there again !!!

I Just Dont Want to Miss a Thing!!!
So, I have never actually written a blog, or anything really like it before ... So this is feeling a little more like a diary that I will hopefully never lose (unless ofcourse the millenium bug comes back around and all internet services are lost ... Ouch) ... I want to remember things like they happened, I want to remember all the things that happened that has played a role in why I am so happy today :) !!!
I have always had a fairly happy life, growing up we were neither rich nor poor, more happy, than sad ... And most importantly I was raised with strong family morals! Maybe thats why I chose the man I married ... And maybe thats why we are raising our little family with the same family morals ... We are all BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!!
Most importantly ... I want to write this blog so that I dont forget so many important things ... Alot of these things I only learnt in the last year!!! I dont want to forget how happy I am right now ... And the key people that have made me this happy! I want to remember the tanties, just as much as the good times with my family ... I want to read this in 5 ... 10 ... 15 ... Even 20 years time and remember it as if was yesterday ... So I can appreciate all the good and bad that comes with life ... And I dont want to forget how to appreciate my family ... I want to be thankful for everything I have ... I cant say there will be anything too interesting for some people ... BUT for me ... I think I have already explained that one :)
