Snapshots of the last month

So I had a gentle prod today from a friend who dropped a message and mentioned I hadn't been here in a while. Then Meg also asked what had happened. 
I could blame the crazy busy schedule I am trying to keep but I think the blame  really lies with  my love for Instagram!!!

So here I am and this is where we have been for the last few weeks.....

 Our dancing girl has had some huge news...she secured a spot to further her dance studies in a great company beginning in January......IN MELBOURNE!!!!!!
Yes we are suddenly confronted with the reality of having encouraged her to reach for her dream and grab it with two hands. She is being given an awesome opportunity to continue her journey of becoming a dancer following her dreams.

We are yet to work out the finer details but just know that it is right and therefore will all be Ok even if her parents are not. 


We had fathers day in there and loved celebrating all that my dad is to us girls and our families....




We have a fair share of nasty bugs...Meg at the start of the term and now Fraser to end the term...sick for going on 3 weeks...enough is enough.
I have just keep mine simmering under control but also feel totally over the underlining bugs .


I have been blessed with a gorgeous husband who is very good at finding the little ways to show he cares.....we are seeing a small sign that Spring is coming...it has been such a long cold Winter.


I have been giving some thought to how I can make a difference in my community....enlisting the help and ideas of my sisters who are creative individuals....


We have been on the receiving end of fresh produce straight from my sisters garden.....

Teddy needed loving attention as he was on high demand while there has been sickness around....

Celebrating the "lasts" for a our teen....Dux for both her dance subjects was a nice way to end her high school years.....last day tomorrow....I cant quite get my head around her being in this space and time...


An event we have been talking about for years and years finally happened......

And lets just say our teen was devastated that it had come to this.....She is 17 and he is 11!!!!

The regular soccer season has come to an end and now to participate in the regional country week team during the holidays.....
at least Saturdays will be ours again... 


We have been chipping away at the last of the driving hours...the goal is to have them done before 19th December...we have 15 hours to go...phew.....


I have worked full time this term  between 4 different schools.....loving it ....exhausted....challenged.....and blessed by all those I am meeting along the way....especially the sweet year two girl who made me a chocolate cupcake for Monday morning.

Discovering that our chickens really do think they are part of the family......love their generous egg giving acts but sorry it's outside you must stay....

Really needing that sun to do it's thing quicker..... we are all feeling ready for the warmth...

just so that we can get prepared for the crazy  trip of a lifetime we have just locked in that may or may not include a ridiculously freezing and hopefully white Christmas.


and just because we are so proud......and I am trying to savor these days that will change dramatically in a few short months..... 


So there you have it...our life in a snapshot.....looking forward to some slower days over the  next couple of weeks of school holidays.... xxx
