and a new beginning.  We are home, we are finally home.  After nearly 7 months of living out of suitcases, it is no surprise that we took the first possible opportunity to move back into our house - renovations still continuing around us, but who cares, it is just so good to be home.

This year ahead holds so much exitement, our house nearing completion, my business, a wee little holiday to France in the planning, my baby starting school for the first time.  With this comes a tinge of sadness, my baby starting school in just 2 weeks time, a very bittersweet time for me.  At 5 1/2 she is just so excited, and so ready for school, and me - well I am going to miss turning around in the supermarket to look for that little hand to hold.

For now, I am not thinking that far ahead and in fact, I am going to cast back to Christmas, and the amazing day with had in the rain - ah the rain.  A lovely day spent with Andy’s family minus one very important person.

A day spent down at the Canberra Croquet Club.

Let the games begin
