Enjoying Time

At last I have done a new layout of Monty. I used to be so good keeping up to date with all the events and Grandchildrens photos. But...obviously I got behind for a long time and am now ENJOYING time to catch up.
Lamont loves to pose for the camera...as is obvious in this photo. It's hard to get a photo of him without 'the pose'.












We had a great day out in Sherbrooke Forest on the Queens Birthday holiday. Everyone was there except Sara and Monty.
I got so many photos of all the grandchildren on this massive log. So many that poor Harrison just had enough and fell of backwards, dragging McKenzie with him. It was so funny and because no-one was hurt we got to have a good laugh.
I am enjoying doing simple layouts, get some photos done and don't have to agonise over too much of it. (and I do a fair bit of copying!)




This layout is from quite a while back......at least 15mths. At our favourite rendevous (Braeside Park). Just great kids, cousins (aka: Grandchildren) having some fun together. Again I enjoyed keeping it all pretty simple.
Apart from a bit of Scrapbooking I have:
1. Gotten used to going out and about without any head cover at all. Just my very, very short silvery white hair. I get heaps of complements so it must be looking OK. Can't wait for it to grow longer so I can get a 'cool' haircut. Although, Mckenzie loves my 'princess hair'. ??
2. Got my tax return back already.......and havn't spent it all yet!
3. Am going to be making cards etc. for a friend of mine who currently has an online business but is going to open a shop in the next few months. I am so excited! And...went out buying 'stuff'. all girly - shabby chic - fun and bright 'stuff'. The girls at Paper2 are getting to know me now. Is that a bad thing??? I am so grateful to Kathy for asking me to do this. It is giving me some new focus and lots of fun.
4. Scrapbooked a few times with Tambi and Krystal. Next week having a few more good friends come over for a bit more fun.Posted by Picasa
5. Still miss Andrea and the children so much. We talk nearly every day.....yesterday I talked to Orson for a while and then he said; "I miss you Nanna".....well needless to say I had a big cry after that. Andrea is finding pretty hard in Brisbane. She doesn't know anyone and is getting pretty lonely without friends to go out with and chat to. I am wondering if it's all really going to work out........only time will tell.
6. Went to see Mama Mia with Sara, Tambi and McKenzie (she gets in on all the fun with big brother and sister being at school!). I loved the movie. Always have loved the music......and it was just happy and bright enough to have a good laugh and enjoy spending time with Sara. She's so busy with work that I don't get to see anywhere near enough of her.
7. Sara, Carolina and I have been watching the Gilmore Girls series. Sara bought them and we pass them on to eachother as we finish each season. Just really loving this show because it's so uncomplicated and fun to watch.
OK....it's time to feed Colin and watch some more of Numb3rs...oh yeah I bought the first three series of that show cuz we've been spoiled watching too many shows on DVD and now watching free to air TV is just basically annoying with all the ads etc.
