still here ....

still a busy time for us. Ian has started his new contract and my exams are one week today. I am now 32 weeks pregnant which is hard work in the heat! I am working 3 days a week which means air con and lots of sitting down, but I do find the work itself more stressful in "this condition". Not long to go now though.

I had my first full day with the kids in ages today. Ian has been with them full time weekends and all for a long time to allow me to study. I had a lovely day. We did have a bit of an incident at the playground though. Ethan was going really high on the big swing and decided to let go and adjust his hat just as I gave him another big push. He went flying up in the air and landed on his upper back and neck. Fortunately it was a fairly soft landing and i think he was more shocked than hurt. He was soon back to normal but quite a shock for all of us.

I got another job ticked off the list today too - passport photos for our NZ passports. Ethan looks quite cute and very grown up. Mine looks like a police photo on a DUI charge (driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol)! Fortunately we have them for just 5 years here.

Big news of the week though was my Dad's wedding. He and Ilona got married on the 5th February. That makes 8 grandparents for the kids (3 n. irish, 4 english and 1 australian)and 3 new step-siblings for me!
