Hi, thought I'd better update evryone seeing as it's been so long!

Eli is now 9 months old, which is just crazy!! Crawling everywhere, standing and wanting desperately to walk. He's got four teeth, and more on the way, but happy and healthy in every way.

Jacob is in Year 8 this year, and pretty much liking it- although already talking about colleges, which is a bit scary! He's learning drums in school band, and doing the occassional drumming at church, where he also does roady type stuff and organise music rosters. He and Eli are starting to get into mischeif together, so it's started!!! Tried to put in photo of them, but I'm doing something wrong, or it doesn't like me...

Trev went back to work 2 weeks ago, so I'm now a housewife, which has been fun and a nice break from dysfunctional teenagers and their families. I'm slowly learning to trust my cooking again, it's been so long I wasn't sure if I still knew how- experimenting with the slow cooker a bit, which has been good, so far.

We recently had Trev's parents visit for a couple of days which was nice- I got to take Kay shopping and have a bit of a natter, which was nice. Then, Trev's sister Sany, her husband Alan and their gorgeous 6 & 1/2 kids dropped in for a couple of hours oin their way to family function. It was great to see them, but of course it wasn't long enough, so we're hoping to be able to catch up better come Christmas.

Otherwise, life is rolling along beautifully. The Karinya ball is later this month, but I'm going stag this year as Trev is not ready to leave Eli with a baby sitter- even though he'll be in bed oblivious (Eli, not the babysitter!). Will post photos of the ball (and the boys) when we have them.
