Christmas

Well we have just returned from a week away from home, we holidayed in Busselton, at the baptist camp site, it was a nice break especailly for me! No housework!!! The kids had fun being on the beach. Although on our first day, we had not even been there for 5mins, And one of the kids steped on a fish (that had spikes). it was on the sand, so my husband Joel took our son Luke to hospital, And they removed most of the spikes, the rest were too deep so his foot had to soak in boiling hot water to suck out any poison. While on holiday we also saw family, and some old friends. Now we are back home to welcome the new year.

TIME

How did you all go with the new time difference on sunday? we were ok, i guess because we have lived over east and are used to it. I guess the only hassel is trying to confince the kids it is bed time. when it gets dark after 8pm!

'MUKA'

We got back last night from a weekend away, we went to visit some friends in mukinbuddin, we had a great time catching up after not seeing them in 8yrs. I just love the country.
Didn't do much sightseeing though. We had so much other thing's to do. Once we got back to perth i was like noo, i like the country better!!

HOT water

About 2wks ago we lost our hot water, (OH NO!!!) we had only moved into the house a few months ago. The electric system was under 5yrs old ( a bit hopeless) . So for one weekend we had no hot water, well i boiled the water so the kids could have a bath! By monday we had temprey hot water till the real one got installed, this time we went for a solarhart, it has been so good even on cloudy day's!

Kids

Since coming back here to perth it has been hard to fit back in after being away for the past 5 yrs. school has not been a pleasent one for the kids. They have been bullied by other kids, i had to take luke out of school because he was getting ill every morning before school and cryed after school. (I find this very sad, especailly when it is a christian school). The kids keep asking to go back to their christian school in vic, where they had been very happy. But as much as i would like too..... Joel has never had work this good before (he is a bricklayer), Perth is really taking off, (with so many buildings)!!! So next yr we will try another school and go from there.

travelling

Well today i went on my own adventure!! I drove all the way to narrigin and back so i am very pleased with myself!( It was a 2hr drive there & back!) I went there because there was a certain breed of cat that was not expencive! (a ragdoll)! So my tabby now has a companion. And i even made it back in time to get the kids from school!

Luke

Recently Luke (who is pictured below) had an MRI recently, which the hospital(pmh) want to do every 3yrs because of his accident in 2003. The scans showed that at the back of the brain he had a sist, so they will let me know if they want to do anything about soon.

Birthday #2

Well we had another birthday saturday (7th Oct), Our second oldest son Luke turned 9, so we went out as a family. We took the kids to scitech, then we went to a heated pool for a swim, and had fish & chips for dinner, then had an ice-cream birthday cake. It was an enjoyable day for all! It is hard to believe he is 9 already, as when he was only 5 he nearly died, so we are thankful to God for every day we have with him.

Birthday

Well today is my 32nd birthday, not much fun i guess it get's that way as you get older.Today i am doing the usual, like house work! And keeping the kids busy for the school holiday's. I did go to the cheese cake shop for my cake. There is no way i would bake my own!

Holidays

Yeah!! It is now the school holidays over here in the west! I love having the kids home from school, i look forward to not having a mad rush in the mornings. It is a nice sunny day outside today possably 25.c, lovely spring day.

Doctors

well Yesterday i had to take my daughter to a ear specialist, & for the 3rd time in 3yrs she has to have grommets again! I dred the 12months, as we need to make sure no water get's in the ear!
But her right ear looks like will need an opuration when she is older.

HOLIDAYS

Well it is hard to believe the holiday's are upon us again, the yrs just seem to fly!
We will be going over to melbourne to see family & friends. It would be nice to see more of our beautiful county, but there is only so much we can do.

Footy #2

Oh well the freo doc's didn't win! Very disappionting...

Footy

Isn't it great both W.A teams (eagles & freo) are in the final's. I hope one of them win's this yr. Personaly i hope it is the Eagles. Freo has been alot better then in the past though.

Family

Sorry for my delay in updating my post, I have been getting a little slack.
Since my last post my family have been going through a few issues.
We will continue to keep looking up.

Mother-in -law

Well it has been a long month, we have had my husbands mother over from victoria staying with us, it was good that she could stay, to see all of us in out new home. But we had out moments, where it got a little too much. Although we had fun showing her around. I think she has gone home to rest, we were that busy, i think we wore her out!!

Moving House

I am soooo..... sorry for my delay in adding a new post! We sold our home, and bought another one. We moved out of our's and could not get into our new home for at least a week, so some friend's put us up, what a blessing! When we finally did get into our house, we had some trouble with the phone line! These are all trial's that we go through and learn and grow from. We thank our lORD for our home.

Easter

I hope everyone had a great easter weekend, seeing family & friend's & the kid's getting sick the next day!! The most important reason for coming together is for our Lord and what he did for us.

Justice For All.................

Exodus 23:1-9" Overcome evil with good".
You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrightous witness. You shall not follow a crowd to do evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice. You shall not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute. If oyu meet your enermy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. If you see the donkey of the one who hates you, lying under it's burden, & you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him eith it. You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute. Keep yourself far from a false matter, do not kill the innocent & rightous. For i (GOD) will not justify the wicked. And you shall take no bribe, blinds the discerning & perverts the words of the rightous. Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of egypt.

I think what this passage is saying is; If we are children of God, we need to walk in God's way's, the example's he set for us in His son Jesus, we must "turn the other cheek"! By doing this we must not repay bad for bad, but return the bad for good, that way we are showing love not remorce.In the picture do you think if the lion attacked the lamb, would the lamb also attack?
I dont think so.Just like the lamb we need to shower people with love, and one day they two would like to know why we are like we are. (Like Jesus). Is'nt that a testamony in it's self for unbeliever's?

PUPPIES

I promised as soon as i had a photo of the pup's i would add it to my blog! So here they are are'nt they CUTE? If anyone want's any future pup's feel free to let me know, because they go like hot cake's. They are now 3 weeks old.

Home Sweet Home

We have been thinking about renavating our home, but we came to decide to buy another already done, so we put our home on the market friday night, and sold it Sunday, the market for home's is unbelievable. When we were looking around for our new home, we would find one we liked, ring up just to find out it is already gone. But with the Lord's help we found the right home for us. So we will be on the move one more time.

hospital

Well i went into hospital to have the needle out, out the doctor could not find it, so i was stitched back up, stayed in hospital overnight, recovered in 2wks, and now i have had another x-ray to find it again, which they DID, so i may have to go through it all over again. What fun! NOT! Thankyou to all who have been praying. (it is a needle in a hay stack). At least i had a stress free day, but with the pain.

PUPPIES

My two maltese x shihtzu dog's had puppies yesterday evening. The female did it all of course!! She had 4. 3 girl's & 1 boy. But one of the girl's was so tiny i have to bottle feed her. As soon as i get a photo of them i will add it to my blog. Just thought i would share the new's. For now here is a photo of mum.

Suprise, Suprise................

Today i put myself into hospital i had been in some pain for a while & it just was not improving so i desided to find out why this was.
I had an x-ray done & to my suprise they said, i had a sewing needle wedged in my hip bone!!!!!
So now i have to wait till monday to see a surgeon. Please pray for me, as i have an opp. to remove this forein object. Till then i will remain sore, and taking medicine fot the pain.

Daily Reading

In my daily reading i have been reading about the parable of the Sower,MATT 13:1-23 "Some seed fell on the way side (those who hear, but do not understand, the evil one comes along and snatches them away). Some seed fell on stoney ground ( those who hear the word & recieves it with joy, but with no roots, easily stumbles when tribulation comes). Some seed fell among thorns (he hears the word, but the cares of this world become too much, so becomes unfruitful). Some fell on good ground (He who hears the word &understands it, & produces much fruit).
Which one are you? It is a challenging scripture, one to help you keep your eye's on what matter's most! Our LORD......
