I trawled through the archives for this weeks entry to The Gallery and came up with this shot… Delicious food and wine that was shared with my lovely family on Easter Day this year. My mum has some testing times ahead in the next few weeks. With a bit of luck she won’t be able [...]

This morning we went to a lovely Good Friday service at church. It was all aimed at the children and they had a really great time learning more about Holy week and about what we, as Christians believe. The children re-enacted the Last Supper and made crosses from salt dough. We all ate hot cross [...]

Today is Advent Sunday. I had to explain to Robyn this week that Advent Sunday isn’t necessarily the day we open the 1st door on our Advent calendars. I expected her to be disappointed but instead she was excited about lighting the 1st Advent candle at church and began talking about counting down the Sundays [...]

After our sad few days I’ve had a pretty constant headache so I decided yesterday that today would be a quiet play day to allow myself to relax with Katie. This morning Robyn got up complaining of a sore throat and said she’d like to stay at home. I figured that she needed a quiet play [...]

A Difficult Day

Posted: 6 February 2009 in Church, Memories

It’s not very often that I let the “spiritual” side of me show… as I mentioned in the 25 things about me. Today though it has been tough and I stumbled across this prayer while I was looking for some comforting words. I’ll be reading it a lot over the coming week I think. Every day [...]

25 Things About Me…

Posted: 4 February 2009 in About me, Anthony, Church, Family, Katie, Robyn

So today I got tagged in a Facebook note which asked me to write 25 random things about myself. I found myself this afternoon with an empty house… Robyn was at school, Katie was having fun at Nanny’s house and Anthony was working on the car. For me being in the house on my own [...]

Don’t you just love the things that kids come out with?! Over the years our family has gained lots of expressions thanks to various children who have given us little “Gems”! A few examples… “Oooooh it’s a bit windmill” (Windy!)… from Sophie “The moon can’t talk actually” (after being told “The moon is saying ‘time [...]
