Well it has taken me awhile but HAPPY NEW YEAR. We have been busy busy busy. Straight after Christmas we went up to the Blue Mountains and stayed in the most lovely home owned by an Anglican minister. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We just chilled out. Then we came home for a few days and then headed off to Port Macquarie, man that is a beautiful place. We hit the beaches and the pools which the boys loved and the girls weren't so sure about. When we got to the ocean Cait said wow look at that pool. Gave us all a giggle. We chilled out up there too. We got to stay in the Port Macquarie Church of Christ manse up there if James would preach on the Sunday. He did. This manse was so amazingly close to the actual church I loved it. Jim reckons that if we lived there all the time we would hate it though. We took our rubber boat up with us and the boys had an absolute ball riding the waves with Daddy. The girls weren't quite as happy in the water but loved the sand and the rockpools. Me? I discovered that I really do dislike the beach. Not the water just the sand. It is so gross. If we could go from grass to water I would be so much happier at the beach. You just get so dirty.
We came home for a few days and just hung out. Bailey, Cait and I went and stayed at mums for a few days holiday and that was really nice. Alison took Bailey to see Happy Feet and they also went on a really long bike ride together. Bailey had a severe stack but loved it still. Him and Alison talked about her HSC and what courses she wants to do at Uni. Couldn't believe it really, every time I ask her what she wants to do she just mutters I dunno. LOL. Steph and Cait had a girly make over day which Cait absolutely adored.
Steph let her wear her high heels and did her toes and finger nails. She even put some makeup on her which Cait thought was DIVINE. She even did some cute poses for us but I am not sure if she will make Australias next top model. She will in our house. LOL.
Then we came home and got ready to go away AGAIN. This time Jim and I headed off on our own while the two girls went to Nanny's and the two boys went to the Maxwells. They all had the best time. So did we. We went for a walk on the beach and went to the leagues club for dinner. We went shopping and watched this corny dancing school concert which I secretly enjoyed and I think he did too but he pretended to just tolerate it. We visited our friends Lottie and Josh who are about to have a baby any day and then we went to the movies to see The pursuit of happyness. Man that was a sad movie. There were times throughout it when I thought I can't handle any more of this. But the end made up for it and it was really quite inspirational. We stopped for Black Stump lunch on the way home which was super nice. We never go to real restaurants and never without the kids. It was a really nice time.
Jim is back at work now. So things are starting to gear up for the new year. The kids have another week off school and they start back. Kindy again for Mooey and Year 4 for Bay. Woohoo. I am looking forward to that.
Well that is it for today. Will talk more soon.
Love Naomi
