Just a few things.............
Firstly, my beloved Grandy passed away on saturday. He went peacefully in his sleep and is now with my Nana. Those two were my role models growing up. Whom I continued my faith in marriage. With my parents divorcing (and so many others) my grandparents remained married and if both still alive today would be in their 60th year of wedded bliss!!! Just wonderful I think for a couple whom met and got engaged on the bank of the Yarra all on the same day! Anyway, his funeral is this thursday. So a sad day... especially for my mum, now losing both parents.
Joss got his first tooth also on Saturday!! He is so restless and unsettled I just popped a finger in to check as I was sure it was his teeth moving around, and sure enough, a freshly laid tooth LOL. Cant wait for it to grow and see him with a Toofy grin!!
Also, I am booked in for my motorbike L's finally!! August 14th and 15th. So wish me luck!! Arron just bought a new bike. Kawasaki zx6r, 98 model I think, green and purple. Its a bit flashy! He is a tad bit excited!! And I get his old bike till off my P's, then we will sell it probably. I lay by'd a few of my bike things, my helmet, gloves and cool pinky purple, grey and white Army camo cargo motorbike pants!! just on the hunt for the perfect jacket LOL On my budget too...!!!
Not much else to report!! Was just about to quickly upload some pics but it asked for my username and password, but i cant remember!!! bloody hell, new photos will never get here at this rate!!!

Has it really been that long???
Good God!! I didnt realise how long it has been since I last blogged....you must think I have fallen off the earth. Well, I havent! We have been SO bloody busy here of late, it is nuts chasing after 3 little kids, Honestly, Its hard work!!
Erin is doing well. She hasnt done anything interesting of late. She had a play date with her boyfriend Max, the two had a great time together and of course the nagging is back on as to when they can play together again??!! We have another transition day this week at Erins primary school. I have done some more Kinder duty and pleased to see how Erin is at kinder, she seems to have found a little more confidence with dancing and moving in front of her friends which is good. I am waiting for her painted plate to arrive, I cant wait!!!
Darcy is growing up so fast. We laugh all the time at his gorgeous facial expressions. He is ever so cute when he is telling Erin off sounding just like us even when he is getting her to see reason..."Enin, we dont want to fall off now do we? nooooooooo..." He is such a pleasure to have around. He certainly can have a temper tantrum, that is to be expected at 2! but for the better part of the day he is lovely. I am really looking forward to seeing the two boys growing and interacting over the coming months and years. I am pleased Darcy is still very much dependant on his day sleeps and it is always min 2 hours. Gives Joss a chance to sleep in the quiet when Erin is at kinder mon & tues arvo's. Not to mention quiet time for Arron and I too!! We have been trying to teach Darcy his colours, he knows 'colours' like red and blue and green, but doesnt know which is which yet. He is able to group colours and match up the lids to the correct texta or join the little pegs he has in the right colour, so he is on the right track at least. We also have been teaching him how to ride his bike. He can turn the wheels so far and we are just encouraging him to look at where he is going rather than down at his feet. It wont take him long I am sure!! He has taken a liking to tv all of a sudden and so much more interactive with it than Erin ever was. He will dance along, and sing the songs and do the actions to wiggles. He likes the hooley dooleys and boobah too. He loves thomas but not so keen on the dvd's yet, more his thomas books. Perhaps I make the stories more interesting? He also likes to point out the trains facial expressions "thomas angeeee mum or Percy happeeeeeeey mum" So he is such a funny kid these days, so cuddly and cute!
Joss is 8 MONTHS OLD TODAY!!! Where on earth has that gone?? He has by far been the child of ours whom has grown up the fastest it seems. He is sitting by himself, standing up holding our hands for a long time. He has turned around in the car seat the last week or two as he was falling asleep looking at us, in the FRONT of the car!!LOL cant be good for the neck!! Joss is still really unsettled over night. I would like to blame it on his teeth moving around so at least I have a reason, but to be honest I have no idea!! I hate giving him Nurofen before bed each night, but it makes a significant amount of difference to his sleep, so as long as its not for too long, I think he will sleep better as he gets older *fingers crossed*
Joss isn't a huge fan of solid food. I remember Darcy went from eating hardly any to eating 3 serves a day!! Joss dislikes all breakfast foods except the odd crust of vegemite toast. He dislikes sweet tasting foods and certainly favours the savoury dinner's. Pumpkin is his favourite, he enjoys corn too. Perhaps when he is eating more substantial portions of food he will sleep better also?? Who knows! He is still being breast fed too. I am happy to feed him into his second year, if he wants. I will probably hang on to that last baby thing as long as I can I imagine!!
Joss is rolling around, but with two older siblings, he gets everything handed to him. He is enjoying time on his tummy too so hopefully we will see him beginning to learn how to crawl. I know the kids are going to love him being able to crawl into their rooms, and it will make for a happier boy too to be able to keep himself amused. Joss certainly cries a lot more than the others for our attention and to be picked up ALL the time. He gets bored easily and doesnt enjoy the peace and quiet unless its sleeping time. I think he is very similar to Erins personality.
Me, well I have just started working for the Australian Bureau of Statistics for the up and coming Census as a collector. So no doubt things will be a lot busier for me over the coming month of August with all the delivering and picking up of the census forms from a small area here in Mt Evelyn... approx 350 households. Should be fun!!! and I should shed a few kg with all the walking I will have to do!! Thats about all thats new with me!!
Will get the camera out again and gets some up to date pics of the kids. They would have changed a lot since I last posted pictures I am sure, Well Joss would have anyway!!LOL
