We have arrived home safely after our christmas holiday was cut short due to the horrible floods, which explains why I haven't posted for ages. Prayers for all those affected by the floods! It is going to take months for everything to be cleaned up let alone the crops that have been damaged.

We had a great christmas despite the weather. Everyone got lots of presents, I would even suggest that the kids have gotten to many, but I'm not sure they would agree!!! A big clean out of all toyboxes is planned! Look out lifeline we are coming with lots of 2nd hand stuff!

J managed to catch his first fish, a small bream! the look on his face was amazing, he wouldn't touch the fish though! He unfortunately ended up with some mozzie bites, which made him swell up(each bite the size of the palm of my hand) and itch and cost us a fortune at the chemist, but they are looking much better now! Needless to say he wore repellent everywhere we went after that!

Em has been enjoying her new scooter so much until she refused to wear a helmet and had it confiscated for a week. I think she will be quite the little chef when she grows up after helping me make the most amazing guacomole, although she wouldn't taste it!

Miss El has us concerned again. She started with temperatures which lasted three days, a cough (mostly dry) and even had a day of a rash, which faded everytime I decided to take her to a doctore. After that she was fine for a few days apart from a cough that ranged from dry to moist. Then she started with a temperature again for two days and her cough is quite moist now. Mr A has a cold so maybe she just has that. Surely she shouldn't keep getting temperatures? No one else has had temperatures!

Good bye 2010!
