Time to Catch Up.

Thought it was about time I wrote down what's been going on around here. Heaps has happened so will put it in bullet form.

* Brady came off his pushbike and broke his arm so now is in plaster.
* Brady got spear tackled at school by some kid mucking around and ended up with a massive lump on his head and another trip to the doctors. The other kids got suspended fro 3 days.
* Kiara performed with her dance school at an exhibition at Forest lake last weekend. Did well.... new dances & costumes. I was exhausted as she had 6 costumes changes ina very short space of time. We are off to the Gold Coast Eisteddford next Saturday. Very long, tiring Day ahead of us.
* Mark completed his security Licence and passed. He'll be now working mainly as security at the hospital as well as some orderly shifts. His in the process of deciding whether or not to apply to join the police force next year. Just needs to get his eye sight cleared first as he was mugged and robbed some years back and sustained a significant eye injury. I really hope that he does. He's lost over 25khs and 32cm off his waist and his confidence is just soaring at the moment. It is so good to see.
* Also found out that Mark is going to need reconstructive surgery on his left ankle. He has split and torn some tendons and has bone fragments floating around. It will require 6 weeks in plaster and then another few weeks off work. Just trying to work out the best time to get it done as we have booked to go to the Whitsundays in September and he has a big fishing trip planned. he may try & hold off until November.... just depends how long he can stand the pain. he's had a sore ankle for a few years now but can't remember actually injuring it. The surgeon said that it won't affect his ability to join the police force if he decides to go ahead.
* I've joined the gym and have spent this week pumping, stepping and balancing my way to fitness. Brady is going with me.... pretty funny watching him trying to master a step class last night.
* I've been working heaps and haven't had any time to really scrap or sew.... hence my business is at a standstill. The ideas keep coming just not enough hours in the day to get it all down. Hopefully after September life will slow down and I can get it all going again. My problem is that I want to have a go at everything. I'll be in the middle of one project and then see something else I want to try.... I've always been like it.
* I've started work on my Scrapbooking Memories masters entry. Still not sure if I will actually finish and enter this year or not. I bet I end up rushing around like an idiot at the last minute and entering any way.

That's about it from me for this post.
