Time flies when you are having fun

Well plenty has been happening in the last month to keep me and the family busy (apparently too busy to get to the computer...)

On the first of Jan we celebrate Aidan's Birthday, he got a desktop computer from his big brother and parents (Kyles old PC we resurrected) which he was really excited about. We also went to have a meal at the local Spur restaurant where he qualified for a free birthday meal. He was given the option of having a party with his cousins or going to Spur - he chose the playground at Spur!

Seems like he made the correct decision because we ended up having everyone come over anyway so he got both wishes in the end. We put the birthday candles into the watermelon we were going to eat and had him blow them out as if it was his cake, he really enjoyed that! (So did everyone else)

On the 3rd of Jan Chace and Ruby (his Ruby not mine) got back from the US so the family all got together to celebrate the return - they were gone for a month. we all had dinner together and sat looking at their photos. Poor Ruby was passing out there in the lounge and was not really "with it", she really looked tired! Chace brought me a pair of Nikes from the States so I donated the old pair I had to Kyle because he has had some real rubbish in the way of footwear over the last while. After a couple of days use of my new shoes though, the sole has started peeling off... Do you think it is too late to repossess the old ones?

Kyle also got the chance to go fishing in January - he was very proud of catching two fish and we were regaled with the story many times (both he and Kenroy retold the story a couple of times) and invited to go fishing next time. I really do not enjoy the fishing thing, just sitting there waiting and hoping for something to happen.

As far as work is concerned, I have had a busy January with training etc all taking up time. I travelled to Botswana to look at some land in Molepolole and returned the same day. It was good to get home after being in the car for so long. There has been a lot change happening in the office and staff have been "reassigned" as well as new staff being hired. One of those new employees is my Bishop so we now work in the same department which is nice.

Something else new is our acquisition of the Wii Just Dance game. There has been a lot of time taken up standing in front of the tv screen making silly movements....

We invited Devra and Jethro over to supper and had all of the Children babysat at Candice's place. We played until way too late and had to apologise to Candice for leaving her with the children for so long!

We also had the Chippings arrive from the 'States and have been able to spend some time with them over the last few days. They are really nice people and speaking with them gets me thinking of the whole staying here vs. leaving to go to the 'States thing again. I suppose I should just buckle down and get things here moving properly so I don't have to worry about things there, though sometimes I just wish.....

Ja nee! My life is good here and I have nothing to complain about really. I have a wonderful family and home as well as a job at a good place of employment and a good community that we live in. I just realised that I am starting to get a bit silly here again (seem to do this quite regularly on this blog) so I am going to sign off.

(maybe, just maybe, I will post something again before a month passes but no promises)
