December Days

Finally catching up before when year closes and another one begins.  It has been an usually busy few weeks, what with Pip's birthday and various family gatherings.  It was lovely to welcome family into the new place and for them to have a sense now of where we live.  We are very grateful for this new home and are blessed to be here.


 Double Digits


 No 'x marks the spot' but it is still a dining room and the table is still with us from ten years ago, where it proved to be a stabilizing force, since I gave birth standing up!  So I guess it still counts :-)























A Christmas Eve House Blessing






Decorating The Tree

 












Christmas Reading










 Ollie Bear



It has been a good Christmas and a good end to a rather unusual year :-)  Hope that for those of you reading, that 2019 is a blessed year x

No matter where we are I will always carry their home birth stories with me :-). Happy New Year to you all xx

Double digits is always a milestone! The paper has grown on me (not literally!). In fact we chose our bargain corner suite and matching chair from the hospice shop based on a green in that wallpaper!! Cannon Luiz is hilarious and he winds the kids up no end :-). Happy New Year to Kezzie x
