A brand new blog in 2013

Hello and welcome to our new blog. Needed to started fresh, since I had used up all our photo storage space on the other blog. Oops, I guess I maybe post too many photos? Never!!!! 

Once again, this blog is for family and friends who want to stay up to date with our and the boys lives. Lots of big changes happening in 2013! 

One really big change is that we are moving! We have taken Wayne's redundancy and turned it into an amazing positive. We just got approved for a house on Monday (my birthday woo hoo)! We are so excited. I have no photos of it yet, but it's a 3 bedroom, one floor house, with a HUGE backyard in a nice area, 3 blocks from the beach, a canal at the end of the road, it is heaven. We are so excited. Travis is very excited, "we are moving to the beach!"  So our move in date is January 18, lots to do before then. 

But first Christmas holidays. This year I took a home made or hand made or Tupperware (ha ha) approach to the gift giving season. Its been lots of work, but fun, so not work, creativity time, which has been amazing, Travis has helped out with all the baking and been a great little elf, although I know he's only in it to lick the beaters, eat the smarties and devour as much cookie dough as possible before it gets put in the oven. 

In 2 days we head to Sydney to spend Christmas with the Sydney Lovells. I can not wait!!!!!! We have 2 nieces and a nephew down there and it will be great to see all the kids together. Plus hello relaxation time! With Wayne on shift work and the busyness of the holiday season, rest and relaxation is looking like heaven. 

Another Christams in the hot hot heat! I really do miss Canada this time of year. Christmas to me is still about snow falling, slush and the cold. Bundled up playing outside in the snow and coming inside to warm up with hot chocolate and mountains of food, crazy Christmas sweater potlucks and pub crawls (really miss the 12 bars of Christmas!!!!). Saying that I do not hate the Aussie Christmas. It is not hard swimming, having water gun fights and not having to bundle up all the time. 

I have quite a few updates to do from 2012, as my blog photo limit didn't let me put up any photos since Wayne's party. I will do a massive Canada trip update soon. As well as other photos since then. 

Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy the season, in whatever climate, country or city you may be in this year!
