Hi babe-a-licious!!
It's been a very long time since I've done this
and I feel very far away from you for not having done so. Also my terrible contact esp since you have been sick. What a dope I am!
I hope you are much better precious one.
We have been having a pretty good winter except I am feeling especially lard-like.
I need some desperate measure of help, lipo-suction or whatever!
I am mindful i'll have quite a lot of walking when I'm overseas but I need it now!
I've decided not to eat any sweet things at the moment.
that sounds all well and good but considering i LOVE sweety treaty's, this could be bloody hard.
(check out Liv's painted tongue here)
The weather here has been particularly wonderful. It's still cold but the sun has been shining loads and it's very weird I'm thinking!
Girls playing hockey this year again, K has been scoring some goals more regularly so that's cool. Liv looks like I would at the end of a game, red cheeks of cuteness. She is a bit disappointed having not scored a goal yet but perhaps like me, she'll score at a sportscamp to redeem herself!
We bike into town most weekends, girls hate the thought of it and complain profusely but once on the old bike, we have a brill time! Liv got top in her class for bike skills the other day so she has been telling me off today if i don't signal clearly. NERD!
Speaking of nerds, K got into the maths extension program me at school and they just had a comp on Fri. Her team didn't do so well but it's been a great experience for her. Her english is much better than her maths so it's been a thrill that she has been chosen for this. The photo of her in her school unif is last photo!
An ice skating rink came to Palmerston so we gave that a go. Liv loved it, i was wondering how she would handle but she did really well. K loves any kind of skating!
I preached last Sunday on Cain and Able. I was stoked with how it went and I got loads of positive comments. do you guys remember how i did that story 'scott the duck?' using a lisp? not sure if i ever did it in front of you guys, but i did it infront of 200 adults and they seemed to enjoy it a lot. Have to bring the funny in! No more of that this year, so glad it's over so i can get my head in the game for coming to see you guys.
I have one event at church i'm organizing for work early September and then I'll be FREEE to focus on leaving the country!
Holiday sleepovers in the lounge.
Liv imitating someone off a movie we watched the other night. She is a character!
K got Highly commended for her jazz exam. She seems to be a champ at some things for sure and I'm really proud. She got some second-hand all-star shoes which she is adoring and hardly taking off!
Liv wonders at times what her talent is and is pretty tempted to give up the piano. I'm praying for her that she finds her place and what she is meant to be doing that she shines in and loves too.
She does tap-dancing and piano she's not sure exactly
I'm eagerly anticipating my wee trip to your side of the world.
I'm mostly looking forward to being with you and matt and relaxing with you guys. You help me relax!
Maybe, just thought of this, i could be looking forward to drinking some sangria with you again!
A few things I'm thinking of - can you flick me some ideas of things you think i could do?
Matt said Brigette said i could go and stay and i guess i could maybe catch a bus somewhere else when i'm there. Whatyathink? Would you be keen to come on a little trip?
Also prob keen to do that from Paris, head on the fast train somewhere south.
Not sure how to go about this, need a few suggestions if you have any!
Love you, so much xx
