kung fu panda...


Kaisy has started Karate and he seems to be loving it. It was a bit touch and go if he could maintain concentration to see a class through, but the Sensei seems to think he will be fine.
Everything has been cruising along pretty smoothly here. It's been really cold and damp and that hasn't helped any of us totally shrug off our various colds, flus and viruses. Right now I am suffering pretty badly, worse than the others. Somehow though I am pulling it together to get things done.
Eli has a possible job in Boston on a movie, but things seem to change from one day to the next. I am trying to just leave it up top fate and not worry to much about if he will be going or not. Part of me would be fine if he didn't go as I think right now the boys really need him around. Kai especially seems to be bonding pretty strongly to him and it would be a hard adjustment for him to make to have his Daddy away for over three months.
I had a lovely Sunday lunch up here with Jeannette and Brooke. We all ate yummy food and sat around the fire. Eli had taken Kai to a BBQ so we had a chance to talk. There is so much to catch up on it seems we never really get to go into anything too deeply.
Will try and keep more current on the blog...

night out with the girls...


I had a wonderful night out with all my friends last night. We went to a bar/cafe called the Local in St Kilda. I was a little nervous as I hadn't seen everyone together for a long time. I guess I don't naturally make an effort to reconnect with old friends, I have always let connections fade away and move on, but it has been so lovely and natural to see all my old friends. I have had to confront a lot of fear I had about it and am very glad I have. I love that I am now close with Simmone again (one of my childhood/adolescent best friends). And now seeing all the girls (Brooke, Sasha, Bec, Jeannette and Kate) makes me realize that even though time passes and we all change and move on, grow up, it still really great to catch up.

Everything here is Upwey is fine. Kids are getting over colds and doing great. I took them both to have immunizations on Friday. It was hard for Kai. He was so unaware of what was coming with the needle and when it finally spiked him he was so surprised and freaked out. Liam not so bad.

Here are a few pics of us playing at home...
