January Update

Of Course one always thinks, that the new year is going to be different. You make all these plans, and swear to yourself that this year will be different. You will be more organized, you will accomplish more, the year will not fly like 2008 did, cause you will take time to enjoy each and everyday. Excuse me, but where did JANUARY go!!! I know it was just there knocking on my door to let it be shown in, and with a blink it's finished!

So here l am again recapping what my friend January brought with it.

A quick visit to Austin and San Antonio with my parents and Zii.





We got to celebrate Zio and Zia's birthday here in Texas.


And of course what do you get an Uncle who is constantly cold?



A Snuggie! Pure Joy!

On the 14th we had to say our goodbyes to Zio and Zia. It's the part l hate the most! Again lucky for us we still had mum and dad with us, so it made it a little less sad. Our house seemed a little empty once they left and Coco sat on her bed, looking for Zio who was always petting her or taking her on walks.

Ciao Zio and Zia, it was wonderful having you with us, and we hope you enjoyed the Texas hospitality.


On the 17th we celebrated Coco's 1st birthday in true style. Maddy made cupcakes for her, and she even wore a party hat, such a good little puppy.She has been such a blessing for us.

Well there was no way of avoiding it, but the 26th rolled by pretty quickly and it was time to say goodbye to my mum and dad. Our house really was empty now, and it was very hard to see them go. They have promised to come back again in 2 years time, so we are holding them to it.

Thanks mum and dad for all you do for us, and for your unconditional love and support. You will be missed by us and of course Coco ( who spent the day on her bed, looking depressed)

No sooner had my folks left, we got an ice storm come through Texas, and the kids got 2 days off school. It looks like snow, but it wasn't and it was quiet dangerous on the roads.On the last day of January the weather warmed up and we headed down to Ennis to visit Anna's parent's farm. The kids love it there, it kind of reminds them of my in laws farm back in Australia. Not to mention that they get to play in the creek, jump on hay bails and ride around on 4 wheelers and a golf cart.

Well that's it for January. Now February is a new month so l will try to be really good and post more often.
