The Mind Won't Rest

It's a bit of a low point in the year for me. It's 9 years ago on Wednesday coming that I lost my darling little boy, I really don't know where the years have gone. I thought I was beginning to deal with it better, but then this year it has hit me like a ton of bricks, alot worse than the last couple of years. I look at my 2 little angels that I have and am so thankful I have them. One day when they are old enough to understand I hope to tell them about their big brother. I am so lucky to have a great family and some wonderful friends around me. My friend's hairdresser also lost a baby awhile ago and she is looking into getting some counselling and I am starting to think that maybe it might be a good idea for me as well. I never had any at the time. It was offered, but I felt that I didn't need it, I don't think that my ex husband helped in that regard either. But I look up at the stars and know one of them is my little man. Dylan James 29/11/97


A slightly happier topic, I got 3 LO's done this weekend!! :)
I joined in Cyber Crops at The Craft Attic


and
Zig Zag

This one also (on purpose) fits Lesa's sketch challenge over at One Stop Scrapping I thought I might try and kill 2 birds with one stone LOL

There is another Cyber Crop on this weekend as well, starting tonight and running until Wednesday night over at Bon's Scraps

Oh well I hope everyone has a great week. Thanks for stopping by.

We took the kids to their first christmas parade this morning and they loved it. We are going to go and visit Santa next weekend and have our photo taken with him, because the line up was a little bit too long this morning!!
Here are some pics








AND
there is only 29 days to go until I go to the Robbie Concert!!! less than a month ... How exciting!!!

Mrs Claus has got her blog up and running :) I never knew she was into scrapbooking either....
To visit her blog click on the link in my list on the right over there. (she has a comp running too!! What a lady)

I thought I would try and upload those extra photos from the other day.

Sian and I made it home late Wednesday night, and I think we have now started to settle back into normal routine, well sort of LOL
Dad is doing well and I hear he has had a visit from a community worker in the area who is looking into some support groups etc. Which is fantastic. It's really great that he is on the mend. I just wish we were closer (I am always saying that I know) so we could visit more often. I get a bit frustrated with my brothers sometimes, but oh well. I really was looking forward to getting home, but the minute Sian and I started walking to the plane on Wednesday I lost it. I think I was missing them before I even got on the plane. :( But I have a wonderful family here in Melbourne and some really fantastic friends both on and off the internet!
It was Gareth & my 5th Wedding Anniversary on the 3rd of November, we went out for dinner while mum babysat for us and it was lovely. (Thanks Mum!!) When I got home on Wednesday night I walked in to find an anniversary treasure hunt had been set up. All a little exciting, but boy I nearly fell over backwards when I walked in the bedroom to see a laptop sitting on my bedside table playing Angel of mine and a gorgeous message together with one of our wedding photos on the screen. I am still in shock now I think LOL. I do need to learn to be a little more thankful instead of going 'we can't afford that' I felt terrible, but I think after 'WOW' thats nearly the first thing I said... ungrateful aren't I :( ... Thanks Gareth, I love it!

My baby girl is not a baby girl anymore (well I guess she hasn't really been for awhile!) After a couple weeks of 'no cot, big bed mummy, Bradley bed mummy' We decided it was time to get Sian a big bed. Tonight is the first night my gorgeous little angel sleeps in her 'big girls bed' after setting it up I said to Gareth 'nope, go bring the cot back in' LOL of course we didn't but I so wanted to....
Well here are the pics, hope everyone has a great weekend (whats left of it :-D ) hmmm blogger not playing ... got one uploaded and thats about it, will upload more when it lets me :D
