Too Late?
Is it too late yet to say Happy New Year? And, uh, Merry Christmas, as well? (I don’t do ‘Happy Holidays’ - despite my pagan leanings, I’m pretty firmly in the ‘Merry Christmas’ camp!)
I kept meaning to blog, truly I did. I missed so many important moments. Here’s the ten-second run down of that-which-was-never-blogged:
- Finn’s birthday party (Ten pin bowling, wheeee! The birthday boy bowled 96 to take the game - never mind the assistance of bumpers and a ramp!)
- A little bit of frantic pre-Christmas crafting (Bags, bags, bags… I do promise photos, once I liberate them from the various cameras about the house)
- Niamh deciding a week before Christmas was a good time to start climbing out of her cot, thus introducing us to a whole new set of bedtime challenges
- Christmas itself (Cue yet another emotional meltdown from moi - 3-days of family festivities (his family/ my family/ my other family) is just a wee bit more than I can take, apparently)
- Finn’s NYE birthday (My boy is five! Last year Scienceworks, this year the Museum. Lots of fun, but I wish we hadn’t been so rushed)
- NYE party and overnight stay out of town (Thank goodness - we were about an hour and a half out of Melbourne, so no overnight low of 30°C for us - we had a pleasant drop down to 17°-ish)
- Resolution making (Yes really - me! Never mind that I apparently jinx myself out of achieving goals - I’m quite determined that two-oh-oh-eight is going to be a whole different story. Stay tuned)
So Happy New Year then. May it be a wonderful and productive one for all of us. Also, may it bring more blogging and less blah-ing for me. Back soon with those photos, and not far around the corner, a name change and a facelift.
Erm… for the blog, that is, not me

Sometimes anytime with family is too much! But, especially on the holidays. :-) Fortunately it was just me, my hubby and our son. Peace and quiet. No drama. We loved it!
Happy B-day to Finn. While your son was turning 5 on NYE, my son was turning 13 on the same day!! When did I get old enough to have a teenager?
Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well.
Happy stitching!

Happy belated birthday to Finn! Sounds like you’ve been run ragged over the holidays. Hang in there and a happy new year to you, too!
