Since we returned from Singapore, we stayed home for 2 weeks, then off we went again, to Sydney and then Coolum for golf. It was a great 2 weeks away with lots of activities. In Coolum, we stayed at the Hyatt on course which is magic! We rode our bikes to the beach and played with the crabs and sand for hours on end. We had afternoon naps and then back we went to the pool. It was a lovely finish to what was a busy year for Marcus and he too enjoyed himself after his rounds with a few beers n pizza.
Marcus then continued on to Thailand for his last of 8 straight tournaments, whilst we came home and prepared for our O'Donoghue/Houlihan Xmas party to be held at our house. We had a great day with everyone together, Santa visited and we ate way too much!
The happiest boy in the world with his new back pack from Lib and Digger from Santa!
Jacquie was a the queen chef, making sushi and salads, what would we do without Jac!
The following week, Marcus returned and we decided to have an xmas party with friends that we haven't been able to see the last few months. It kinda blew out a little and we ended up having nearly 40 for dinner! Jac was to the rescue again with nibbles (too many though, thanks to my ambitious ideas!) and then we cooked a ham on the bbq and had it with salads and burgers which was a big hit! We topped it off with Lemon Meringue cup cakes and slices galore. Alas, the following day was very very quiet as I was a tired pumpkin! With all these parties and social outings, it is very tempting to enjoy a vino or two, but with Baby number 2 on the way, I have been very well restrained!
We are thrilled that another junior is on the way, Archie points to my tummy and says 'Baby', hopefully he thinks it's as exciting as we do! I am 13 weeks now and have had a great first tri-mester with no sickness at all, just a little tired and extra hungry. All very similar to my first pregnancy, so I am intrigued to see whether it's a pink or blue one! I am due on 11th July- which sounds so far away, but I am sure that with all we have planned in next few months, it will go very quickly!
That might have to do for now, loads more to write but it will have to wait 'til next entry :) Time to attack the study and get back into a few canvas orders that are patiently waiting for me :)
