Wow, I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted here. I promise I haven’t been ignoring you all, just that life has taken over with other priorities as it does. And no that hasn’t been with anything crafty either.
Having started back working full time since I last posted has left me looking everywhere for extra hours in the day and as we all know, they are pretty hard to find. I am really enjoying the new job but boy its a busy place to work. When I started there was a back log of work to catch up on from all the earthquakes but for the first time in quite awhile we cleared the decks of paper work last week and now we are just back to working with the day to day piles (which can be hard enough).
We are also working in temporary premises at present due to the earthquakes meaning the original offices are being rebuilt in the city. The good thing is the walls went up on the new building the week before last so progress is good. The sooner the better really as there are 10 of us working in one room about 6m x 6m – very close and at times very noisy!
What else to report????? Well George has grown a lot since I last chatted to you all and becoming a big boy. He is now 4 months old and growing into a very beautiful boy. Here he is having a snuggle with Bill, and below having a sleep in the most gentlemanly position!!
Last weekend I spent 36 hours over in Brisbane for a brother’s surprise 60th. Its been 6 years since all of us kids have been together. Here we all are below. Brother #1 in the middle, no #2 on the left, No # 3 and the birthday boy on the right then its me on the left and my sister on the right.
My sister was a real trouper and had all of us at her place, and her and her husband organised the evening. Not a small undertaking, it ended up being 30 of us. Only brother no 2 and his wife knew I was going as it was only decided that week.
But look who I got to see when there…..
…our gorgeous wee girl Addison who is now 20mths. Boy time goes quickly. Seeing her was the icing on my weekend. It was great seeing the other great nieces and nephews but they’re older and not interested in Auntie Deb wanting to snuggle.
Well I think that’s all for now, anything else that has been happening has been fairly mundane so I won’t bore you with it but I hope to get back here again soon because I do feel I have been neglecting everyone.
Hoping this finds everyone well and happy, Happy Mothers day to all Mum’s out there for Sunday.
hugs in friendship, Deb xx
