my first go...

Hi! This is a lot harder than I thought... computers are not my forte, so bear with me! I have been wanting to do something like this for a while now, and have simply been procrastinating, thinking that I had too much else to do (who doesn't these days?). Then this afternoon, I finally decided that I would start and see how I go. I find that my life seems to be full of good intentions, but unless I act on them, that's all they will ever be. As a brief introduction, I am married to a great guy, John (yes, i know "John Smith", ha ha!) and we have been married for 4 1/2 years. We have a gorgeous little boy, Lachlan, who is a treasure and a joy to our lives. He turned one this month. I fill my days with cleaning, cooking, cuddling and convincing, and try to have fun with it all. I will elaborate more in the coming blogs, when I have more of an idea what I am doing! Wish me luck...

first birthday...

Here we are on Friday 11th April, Lachlan's birthday. This was taken before Lachlan's little friends arrived for his morning tea party. He had a great time playing, crawling around and eating a lot of new and exciting food!

The following day, we went to Rouse Hill Regional Park to celebrate with family and close friends. John went up to the site early to secure it for us and everyone started turning up around 11am. Lachlan had so much fun playing on the equipment (so did

all the adults!) and again eating lots of food. As we were singing 'Happy Birthday', he took a swipe at his birthday cake and ended up with a handful of yummy icing! As you can see from the photo here, he enjoyed the taste!

Lachlan was very spoilt, receiving lots of new clothes and toys. He approved of all his presents, and mum and dad were especially grateful!

smarty pants...

This is a photo of John and I taken when John graduated from Uni. He studied Policing and attained his Bachelor of Policing through the University of Western Sydney at the end of 2004. I was so proud of him for committing himself and working hard to get the degree. I claim that a portion of it should be in my name, considering I was chief proof-reader and grammatical scrutineer. Ahhh, those good old uni days...NOT!!!
