Holiday?? What holiday??

The holiday is but a smeary, distant, faint memory these days... a chest infection, allegic reaction to penicillin, or maybe wheat, and then a revisiting of this for Imogen, terrible terrible pant wetting episodes by Owen, and a very busy parish front has left us all feeling pretty tired, over it and not much time left for the blog sadly.
On happy news front we are so excited that we will have another neice or nephew next year and cant wait to meet the little bundle. Owen and Immy miss Bella a lot, but we talk about her and will get to see her in just 4 or 5 short weeks. Imogen can crawl on her back now - quite a funny site as she arches and then scoots herself backwards - usually ends in banging her head on something (end of the cot being the most common). Owen is waking up WAY TOO EARLY, about 6am, but tis daylight savings starting here tonight so hopefully that will help tomorrow! It has been ridiculously COLD here this week - 2 degrees on Thursday at about 3 in the afternoon - sleet and snow all over the place. We still have snow on the hills looking out our backyard! Needless to say the fire has been stoked up again after 3-4 weeks of very pleasent spring weather. And Owen is back to EXTREEM TV watching - although there has been a return to MAKING (Christmas cards) and PLAYDOUGH recently. He still loves stories, and Imogen is getting quite keen on books too (she really has missed out on getting read to - we dont do it anywhere near as much with her as we did with Owen). She loves to sit and play and watch Owen and I know she wishes she could stand or crawl but I'm gald she's staying put for a little bit longer.
I am busy helping out with youth alpha this term (started last night) and running a holiday program in a week and a half at Fielding for primary school aged kids. Also somehow just managed to land a music group to organise as well... certainly not bored, thats for sure!
Lee is a bit frustrated at work, but carries on doing his best and most people appreciate that. He is still preaching really well and keeps busy trying to visit and get to meetings... life in ministry rolls on....
