It's A Wonderful Life

Feb 17th!!!! I only just bought refills for my diary last week. I don't have a 2010 calendar yet....all I can find is calendars with puppies or fluffy kittens or scotland! I think I slept through most of January, I was just so very exhausted. Thankfully, I am feeling a lot better and am getting into the hang of 2010, and am filling my spare time with inspiration!

- Inspiration to grow stronger in who I am in Jesus Christ
- Inspiration to teach my boy
- Inspiration to cook
- Inspiration to create
- Inspiration to read
- Inpsiration to care
- Inspiration to give

I am slowing giving in to the possibility that my boys daytime sleep may be disappearing. It really is bittersweet. I lose that time (3 hours!) where I can work on different things with out any interruption, but it also means that he is in bed nice and early and sleeps 12 hours. We will see what happens! We took the sides off his cot, and put his new quilt cover on his new 'big boys bed'. He loves it!

My baby is not a baby any more! Occasionally he will tell me 'I not a baby mummy, I a boy'. That he is! He loves dirt, mud, cars...but he has his sensitive side too. He cries in movies just like his mummy. We were watching Lassie a while ago. I was explaining the story as we watched. Then we came to a part when Lassie jumped in the river to save the boy. The boy was saved but then Lassie couldn't get out of the river. The boy cried out after Lassie. Lachlan was inconsolable! He sobbed and sobbed. I had to quickly try to get him to wait and see if Lassie was ok. All was well when Lassie climbed out of the river, until daddy got home and Lachlan had to tell Jonathan all about the movie - the tears and the sobs started! It was sad, but so sweet to see :)

Here they are at the Reptile show at the Botanical gardens.......

And just because, here are two delicious and incredibly easy recipes.....

And lastly because it has been so long since my last post......

Outside my window...blue sky and clothes on the line ready to bring in.

I am thinking...is Lachlan actually asleep?

I am thankful for....the rain & cooler weather

I am wearing...a shirt and skirt with a little more room.

I am going...to eat some chocolate and drink some milk after I press Publish Post.

From the kitchen...mess from lunch - pasta with the sauce above.

I am creating....lessons for Sunday School.

I am hoping...to get through the next week (toughest ever).

I am looking forward to...next Friday (first doc appointment over and heading away for our 10th anniverasy getaway!)

I am wondering...what to do next (not that I have to find something, I just don't know which 'thing' to do...actually just decided - the study)

Around the house...ironing

I am reading...the book of Proverbs (thanks to Ladies Prayer), Daughters of Hope, the new Homespun

One of my favourite things...my sewing machine
