Busy days

It's been too long since the last entry!

Time really flies. Liam is now 2 months old and doing ok at home.

I am finally back at work and settling back in. I've decided to start slow this time and am currently only doing 3 half days a week. Work is busier than ever at the moment, but I imagine it'll settle down.

The kids are also getting the hang of having another sibling. Annika was probably affected the most, and she was throwing tantrums, being whiny and fighting with Madison ALOT. Or maybe that's just normal sibling behaviour anyway..

The grandma is also going back to Melbourne after a 6 week stay with us. It has been relatively good, with its ups and downs. We definitely need a new place because things are seriously overflowing at our little apartment. My bedroom has been taken over by Liam's stuff already. It's starting to be reminicent of the last few months at Papillon, when Chris and I were relegated to the living room!

The Novena timor house is finally coming along... the skeleton of the house is almost complete, and it seriously looks like a massive structure in the neighbourhood! There will be more space for everyone once it's done.

Geok's helper Siti is going home for good this Sunday. She decided not to renew her contract and go home to her family instead. Unfortunately the replacement has been delayed so she's going to be sans a helper for the next few weeks. Fortunately for her since my parents are staying with her she's not going to suffer much.

I've also caved in and applied to get a 2nd helper. It's mainly for logistics and for the longer term when we have a house, 3 kids and I have to go back to full time work. Imagine when Madison goes to SCGS (primary school) , Annika goes to Pat's ( Kindergarten) and Liam goes to ?Bibinogs/ ?something else pre-Pat's!!! 3 kids in 3 locations! I would seriously go bananas being a chauffeur. That'll happen in approximately 1.5 years time.

The final peg is our new house... we're still awaiting the final permits but the contractor has been chosen and given the green light to get started!
