MerryChristmas

Once again seems ages since i last updated my blog. Time flies by and here we are it's Christmas Day tomorrow.  Have been busy since my last blog  - i have finished my trainee visits with the office of the Public Advocate and now have to complete my training - that will happen in February and if all goes well i will be appointed after that.
I have been doing some scrap booking since my last  but not enough to catch up!! I have a new camera and  have taken a lot of photographs.
The Grandsons are doing well. Koby is cute and talks a lot, he loves exploring outside in the garden, turning over rocks to see what is underneath. His passion at the moment is dinosaurs. He has lots as he tells me and is learning the names!!
Last Sunday David and I looked after Zac for the morning - we then took him to a party at a local play centre...we were able to hand over to Dad (after about 30 mins) and retreat to a quiet spot. Zac loves the play centre. he wasn't quite sure which party  he was attending as he had had two invitations - both parties at the play centre, so he enjoyed food at both parties...!! He is a little angel when with me, can't believe that he could possibly misbehave at Kinder!! Fergus is 9 and a half and great company - i am looking forward to having him stay with me next Wednesday.
At the moment David and i are cooking our Christmas dinner. Having it tonight (Christmas Eve) as we are going to Shelley's tomorrow for Christmas Lunch. We have had our anti-pasto platter and just waiting for the turkey to finish cooking. It's been a while since I cooked a turkey, but we are quietly confident that it will be excellent. We cook a lot together and have had many successes, so this will be another one!!
Still busy with my walking, Zumba and yoga, never seems to be enough hours in the day to do all i want to do.
It was my mum's birthday on 22nd December - she is 91 and amazing We all enjoyed Matthew and Genvieve's wedding in October.  - lots of fun! Gail took some great photos - must get some to put on the blog.
An old family friend Mike Stander died i  Perth last month. Fond memories of  happy times in Greystone park when the children were young. Vale Mike.
