Here I am!

Yep, still here.... haven't quite fallen off the face of the earth yet!  Just ridiculously busy!!  hehe.  Gotta keep laughing, because if i don't i'm likely to curl up into the fetal position, rock back and forth and dribble all over myself!!

We went away for the weekend just gone (who does that??... goes away just for the weekend before Christmas??).  We got back yesterday, now i am madly washing and packing for our two day road trip and bi-annual pilgrimage to Brisbane to spend Christmas with extended family.  We were scheduled to leave on Thursday, which gave me an extra day to play with, but we decided to leave a day early in the hopes that we might be able to avoid all this rain and road closures.  We have had such heavy rainfalls that only a drizzle will have all the creeks back up and crossings closed.... and more heavy falls are predicted closer to the weekend.  It would really break my heart (and that of the kids) if we couldn't make it to nanny and poppy's for Christmas..... not to mention what it would do to nanny and poppy!

I haven't been near the puter much at all this past week, save to print out pics for my DD album and keep it up to date..... and i am up to date, unbelieveably!!  Got up at 5:30am this morning to update my pages from the weekend.  What a weirdo right?!!  I have packed so much scrapping stuff to go away with, its just not funny.  Actually i think it's funny, but i'm really testing dh's is patience and understanding!! LOL

Thought i might share a couple of my favourite pics from the last couple of days, while visiting friends out of town.  And of course they all feature in my DD:


 looks like a little ringer.... so cute

 Love this pic... probably because i love this place!
Home to my hairdresser and good friend....

No summer party is complete without wet babes!


... and just because the stormy summer skies have been just amazing lately.
We are always watching them, camera trigger finger at the ready!

Thanks for visiting and i'd like to wish you all a fabulous Christmas and a safe and happy holiday, filled with lots of love, laughter and fun times.  I really appreciate all the lovely comments and the time and effort it takes to stop and share a little love.  It means so much.

Be back soon.
