Merry Christmas Everybody!
Well as another year comes to an end in a few weeks we would like to wish all of you an awesome Christmas and New Year. We have had a very busy year, with the shift to the South Island and settling into a new community. I can say that we are now settled here now. The children and I are both actively involved in kindy and playcentre. Caleb is doing really well and spends a lot of his time SINGING!! He walks around with a microphone and pretends to sing like this guy does in our church. I have a feeling that Caleb (later on in life) is going to be involved in music to some degree. Caleb is a very intellectual little fellow who always needs challenging. His favourite thing is playing outside in the sandpit. Hayley is a very easy going child who runs everywhere! (which involves a lot of falling over!). Hayley has a lot of initive beyond her years and is constantly suprising me with her intelligence. This year I was finding things a bit too busy and the quality of the office work was slipping as a result. We now have a lady called Liz coming in once a week on a Monday to look after Caleb and Hayley. That way I can have some time to myself and also get some uninterrupted work done!
Brendon has found this year to be one of the busiest of his life! Brendon is now starting to feel a bit more rested and enjoying being a bit less under constant pressure every day due to lazy employee's. We have 2 ok employees in our employment currently.
Brendon is really enjoying being the Tourist any time he has the chance for some time off! Makes awesome family time!
This week our playcentre went to a local business in Balclutha and all the children made their own decorations and hung them on the tree. After that we made our way up to the old peoples home in Balclutha and sang Christmas songs to the old ladies. As you can imagine all the children were quite a hit with the old people! I have include a few photos of this trip...
