1. Nathan is 10 months old today. He has 4 teeth, the top two literally came in over night. One day he had two, the next morning there were four.

2. He is butt shuffling his way around the house. Our other two didn't do this, they were crawlers. Nathan thinks I need skills in sewing patches on all his trouser butts.

3. He communicates by squealing and can now wave goodbye.  We are working on the squealing part- it's pretty ear piecing. These photos are of him getting his first taste of Aunty Sarah's Brownie.

 4. I had 12 hours sleep the other night. Feel like a new woman. Funny how I desire sleep these days over gold or diamonds. It is always top of my want list.

5. Lucy is talking a lot. The other night I crawled into bed beside her and after a little night time prayer I asked her how her day was. Forty minutes later she was still telling me about it. She didn't even pause for breath. She also has the biggest crush on her school principal, Mr Clark. Her favourite past time is writing him love letters to put on his desk.

6. Oliver has started wetting his pants again. Not sure what this is about, whether it's laziness or he's sick, or too busy to stop playing or whether something is going on in his head. After the third time he did it on Saturday and I asked him what was going on, "it's not me Mum, it's my naughty willy." He said. "I told it to stop weeing, I said naughty willy, but it doesn't listen to me and then it wees all up and gets my t shirt too."


7. I painted our back fence this week. Everyone told me not too, that it would warp and that once you paint you have to keep painting it and that it would make the yard look smaller. etc etc.....Well I did it anyway, and it looks amazing. Wish I had done it years ago. Before and after photos coming soon.

8. My brother in law thought the music on my blog was music to commit suicide by so I've put in some new tunes just for him. I know he'll like it now because he is a dire straits fan. Actually who isn't?

9. Some research out of Harvard says that the secret to happiness is doing 4 things:
a) displaying gratitude
b) Meditating
c) Exercise
d) journaling.
Pretty stoked to think they are on my top four too. Should've gone to Harvard.

10. It's time to get the beehives out again. We are down to our last few jars of honey. Spring is well and truly here.
