Finding Time

The past few weeks have been scattered with many things.
The main one for us has been finding out that we were
going to have another baby and then last week losing that child at 9 weeks
It is my second miscarriage in 8 years and i know we will have many chances
along the way... just letting go of those thoughts, those chances for this one
and saying goodbye was hard.

Of course the home schooling area has grown immensely with us.
Ellie is doing so well and after many pleadings with me about wanting to go to
school next year, she has surprisingly changed her mind.
Lessons on Mondays has changed that for her, making friends and having so much fun.
Now she says that there is just too much fun to be had staying home with mum
Why would she want to go to school?
And having Sarah join us in just 12 more sleeps is very exciting.

Our beloved Chicken Millie died this morning.
We think she was egg bound and she hasn't been doing well for a while now
She will be greatly missed and Ellie is very sad. She was our first chook, brought home
from the incubator at Ellie's Kindy when she was 3.

Ryan Jr is growing into such a wonderful young gentleman
He makes us very proud with the paths and responsibilities he is taking on daily

James is 5 months now
Such a character already
Starting solids and working his way to sleeping independantly

Hubby and I are doing well.
Its good to be able to take time out finally and think through
all the things that have been happening with us
Its good to be able to think about what a wonderful family we have.
