Cute Jasper Video (playing with the Doggy)

Hi All,

We went to visit Auntie Rob this weekend (Auntie Caz was away) who has two doggies, Jasper really likes dogs and is pretty comfortable with them.
They played like this for close to half an hour I think!

Thoughts and Updates

Hi All,

I am typing this in a sleep deprived state with a puffy face, so if there are spelling errors and gramatical errors . . .don't bother telling me!! :-P~~

Sleep deprived because Jasper woke every two hours or so last night to cry for a bit then fall back asleep . . .at times I do wish our bedrooms were at oposite ends of the house!
Puffy face is from some treatment I am having done on my face for Rosacea . . think hot elastic band flicking on your skin constantly and that describes the treatment OWWEEE!

On a much happier note, the lease is all signed, the bond paid and the bond form lodged for my new house. The car is booked on a truck to leave a few weeks before I go over the first time, so that T and I can use it for furniture shopping etc.
The boxes are booked on a different truck to leave a week after the car so that they will hopefully arrive so that we can unpack them and get it all done before I go back for good with Jasper.

Life has been busy but not too hectic, which is nice. The weekend just past was Jaspers scheduled Auntie T sleep over, which meant I got to lay in bed and read on my new kindle Sunday morning before going out for lunch with my oldest friend JL.
Now JL isn't my oldest friend as in her age, we have infact been friends since we were 8 years old!! It occured to me as I drove to meet her for lunch that we have been friends for about 21 years, isn't that CRAZY.
I also had a lovely meal out with my sister in law and we went and saw the new Drew Barrymore movie Going the distance on Friday night. Lunch on Sat Jasper and I met another friend for lunch in Freo before allowing Jasper to run around what I think must be his fav playground The Esplanade in Freo.
Dinner Sat night I had cooked for me by another friend before we watched a dvd . .
I am so blessed with amazing friends and family (I know I constantly say this however it is just so true!!)

I did also have time to do some house organising and premoving culling, including packing up all of my books to give away to various friends and family, as I have decided apart from my small collection of Amish Fiction books and my Harry Potter books the rest can go! Otherwise I either have to pay to store them or pay to send them over . . .and as I don't know where I will be heading after my year is up at the house in Albany Creek I don't want to have excess stuff.

Cool Swing!                                         New Converse shoes: Auntie T         Showing some leg!

I have my Mum coming to stay with us for 3 nights over the weekend which I am looking forward too, its nice to see her get some time to relax and spend time with her children and her grandchildren :-))

Fathers Day I had Dad stay with us and got everyone together for a Fathers Day BBQ breakfast which was really nice too and for some reason I didn't get any pictures? Probably because people tend to groan when you get a camera out . . .

Before I go I must thank AG who gave me Jaspers completed 1st Birthday party dvd, it was nice to watch and is something that I will treasure THANK YOU!!

Papers Papers everywhere

Hi All,

As the title suggests I have been buried in paperwork and am slowly getting out from under it!!

At one stage I was dealing with stuff for the new house, new daycare, sorting out my phone, dealing with the Bank and had Jasper at home with Foot and Mouth!!

Things however are looking up and looking less stressful this week :-))

Jasper is fully recovered from his Foot and Mouth virus, luckily he only had it very mildly and it didn't really effect him much except that he was contagious so couldn't go to daycare . . .I had to get someone in to watch him at home plus Mum & Dad watched him for one day as I couldn't afford to take time off work.
He is such a happy social little boy and is happiest when we are out and about where he can smile and grin at people.
Walking is proving hazardous he constantly seems to have a bruise or scratch on his face and at the moment has about 3 bruises!!

Things are moving forward with our move, should get the contract for the new house through soon. I have booked all our flights etc including Auntie T's and mine for the end of October when we go over to set up the house while Mum kindly watches Jasper for the week for me :-))

I am getting frustrated however trying to work out the timing of things arriving, like I need to send the car over by truck and then the furniture. They have to go with different companies and it appears that no company can actually tell you exact time frames which makes it hard for me to organise things . . .

We have been doing fun stuff too lots of meals out and fun in the sun last weekend when we experienced spring conditions slightly before the official start of spring.
I am constantly thankful for the amazing family and friends that I have in my life, including new friends that I am making. Hopefully lots of them will come to visit in our year away, at last count I have at least 3 friends who have said they are coming over for sure to visit, including one I NEVER thought would say Yes!!


Just showing some of those facial injuries!

PS. I am off to run more errands including visiting a bank and picking up a new cell/mobile!
