Our last first laugh...

Lilah laughed for the first time on Sunday night...

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.

-- Vincent van Gogh

Blast from the past...

This is me on Christmas Day 2004, with a 3 month old Miss Faith Louise.

(the day before I met my wonderful husband, Troy Daniel)

Lilah was born 1 day after Faith's 4th birthday. Lilah has this very same dress. I think we'll be taking a photo like this on Christmas day :)

Twilight

Saw it.

LOVED it.

Reading it again.

Practice run...

I made this cake today as a practice for Christmas. Okay, I didn't really need to practice, I just couldn't wait that long to eat it!! :) I don't like 100's and 1000's so I used Dollars and Cents instead.

Xander-ism

Yesterday Xander was sitting on the kitchen bench and started sneezing - I counted 5! Then he pauses, looks at me and says "Bless you me, Mummy!"

Excuses excuses...

So, this is the reason for my lack of blogging...

I've been reading the Twilight series. I'm reading the 3rd book at the moment and seeing the movie Twilight tonight with my sister in-law Gillian. We have been counting down the days, we're sooo excited! So, that's my excuse. If you've read the books, you'll understand ;)
