An Update in Photos

Hello all!

I know, I know, it seems like I've tumbled off the face of the planet but no! I live still!

At the moment I find myself in a puddle of Christmas Cards and presents, tearing around after a nine month old who can both crawl and semi-walk (what's up with that?) and designing a site for an older Christian man who is very lovely and very computer illiterate! So if I've accidentally not been updating as much as I ought, or not emailing as much as I should... well, you try having a mini-Chris for a son - in one room with a terribly dangerous deck attached (try three metres off of the ground)! Lol! Gotta laugh or we'll cry, haha.

So anyway, here is a brief update in pictures. Yup. We are fancy today!

Item One: We have been busy running craft clubs, creches, and Sunday Schools. Well, I mostly watch Chris and Manny run them. My job is to stand by and smile sweetly and make milkshakes and cookies on command. Right about here Chris was asking, "So who was Jesus' father?". The kids all started hollering "God!" "Joseph!" Finally a little ragamuffin with curly hair all over his eyes screamed out excitedly, "It was Moses!" Haha! Gotta love it :-)

 

Item Two: We have been busy making Manny into a meat eater! Here he is trying his first ever savoury mince meal. He loved it! After I'd taken his portion out of the frying pan I added pasta sauce and voila! Food fit for a hubby into the bargain! Things are getting much easier now that Manny is old enough to eat the same food as us and new allergies aren't cropping up at every turn. Although it does mean that I get to eat considerably less food than is on my plate to start with... ;-) Overall our little fella is a good eater, so good that he's on to three full meals a day, two snacks, and still breastfeeding well.

 

Item Three: We have been busy chopping a fringe! One morning I looked in the mirror, brushed my long fringe over my eyes and thought, "I wonder what I'd look like without that hair there?" It must have been exhaustion thinking because at the time it seemed perfectly logical to get the craft scissors out and snip-snip. Only when I realised I hated it did I notice that the hair was no longer attached! Whoopsies! Note to self: don't ever try hairstyling again at 5:30am. However, after I woke up a little more (about 3pm the next day) I got out my fabulous-free-hairdressing kit (oh yeah - I scored an entire bag of hairdressing equipment while helping a friend clean out her rental property. Always do good deeds!) and had another little snip and feather and this is the final product. So although Chris still claims I "look like a bus kid who got the scissors and attacked their own hair cos it was in their eyes" I am happy with it. So there Christopher :-P
