Please remind me that they're happy and healthy......

Please remind me that's reason for celebration....


Please don't ask me why they're riding scooters through the kitchen........

while I'm trying to cook dinner.



It's ok, Mum. The kitchen is a "school zone" and we go slow so we don't knock you over!!


While I was having a meltdown, cooking dinner in a school zone and taking these pics I found this shot of my adorable niece, my brother's "baby girl". She has her Daddy's eyes and she's to be joined by a brother in November. Gorgeous.

  3. I used to slide through the kitchen in my socks like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Then last week it got to hot to wear socks so I stopped.

  4. Hey wait a minute! Is cooking in a school zone even legal? How reckless of you. Someone could have been hit in the eye with Macaroni and Cheese.

  5. Special,

    Could you post a prayer for me, hun?
    I've just found out that my cousin in Canada has just lost one of her new born twins. Aude, my cousin, gave birth prematurely to Laurent and Meliane in February. Unfortunately, Laurent passed away on July 3rd after a long and hard fought battle, aged 4 months and 20 days. Aude and her husband, Yanick, are completely devastated at their loss, but need to be strong for little Meliane. I know you'll find the right words.

    Thanks in advance, hun.

  6. WOW - your kids are gorgeous! With kids that good looking, I'd say it's okay to ride the scooters through the kitchen.....just this once.

    Sláinte!

  8. Truly wonderful photos, just captures the chaos of family life so perfectly. With Hedgehog, it's karate and an accidental chop to the stomach while I'm cooking dinner.

  11. My Dear Peter,

    You and your family are in my prayers. Whether a child lives with you for nearly 16 years of merely 4+ months makes no difference ... we grieve deeply. I know this loss, as one of my precious twins died four years ago. Words fail me now, but the comfort of prayer welcomes me with open arms and healing touch. For Aude and Yanick, I extend prayers; for you I extend different prayers, for one who stands by in pain feeling helpless. I praise God for Meliane. A sweet, sweet consolation. Funny, I am so new to the blog world, and yet I feel as if this prayer call across all borders is the most natural of callings. Rest peacefully in His arms tonight. You are bathed in prayer, the balm of Gilead. XO ...

  12. Special,

    I know you'll do me proud - as always :-)

    Leah,
    Thankyou - I appreciate it :-)

    Mark,
    Thankyou - much appreciated :-)

    Debbie,
    Thankyou so much - it means such a lot that you did that for my family. I'm sorry for your loss as well - I looked at your blog, and you have a beautiful family. Thankyou.

    To everyone who has commented - another thankyou. It's a difficult time for my Canadian family, and it's even harder knowing that I not met a single member of my canadian side of the family - but this will come in another post sometime in the future. This blogging lark is truly amazing.
    Thankyou.
