Boy, it's been a while since I was here. We had the Sydney trip which was excellent. Unfortunately not many photos of that though! The only time I remembered to get the camera out was when we had a coffee with Simone and Flynn. They have just moved back from the UK so it was fab to see them. Miss Aurora (2yrs) didn't join us so we hope to see her soon. Annabelle was very keen to hold the baby as you can see!




I would just like to point out that the following two photographs are not fantastic but they were taken by Annabelle, budding little photographer that she is! She knows how to turn the camera on, point and shoot. Anything more complex than that is beyond her but I'm sure she'll be an expert in no time!



Sadly, Beany's 30th birthday was cancelled due to her being hospitalised with gallstones of all things?! But apart from that disappointment, I got to see all my favourite Sydney people and had a really lovely time. Aaahhhh.... how I miss Sydney.

SO now I'm back and I've been on placement for two weeks. I've got two clients and another two due to start/take over in the next week or so. We are pretty much flying solo now apart from a group supervision once a week! But I'm loving doing something real with real people and real problems instead of sitting in a classroom or writing assignments *yawn*. I also really like the group I'm on placement with so that helps.

Just around the time we started on placement, the Director introduced morning meditation for 15 minutes each day. How much am I loving that??!! I swear every single workplace should have morning meditation. Very cool.

In other news, Mel has just left for two weeks overseas. Part of it is work and part is his mate's 50th birthday party in China. I'm sorry that we couldn't all go, but obviously it clashed with placement and we really couldn't afford to fly three of us over there just for a few days. So I hope husband has fun and I hope I survive and you can be sure I'll be getting my solo holiday in the very near future as repayment!

Annabelle is so gorgeous I could eat her up! I really need to write down the things she says because she's a scream. Honestly, she cracks me up every day. For now, I'll settle with posting a few recent pics.

For starters today she was calling to show me what she'd done. When I walked in, I was amazed to see that she was busily going one by one through her puzzles and getting them done. Most are WAY easy and she knows them back to front, but a couple are quite hard, and this one that she's doing we only bought last weekend in Sydney. It's about 36 pieces or something. Check her out!



And here are a few recent birthday party pics that I finally got around to uploading!
