Happily Ever After


Once upon a time there was a happy little family that lived in Evandale , 3 sons ago. 
She made best cob salad rolls until he couldn't have them for lunch anymore thanks anyway hunny bunch. 
There was a blessing and a healing, a cute little boy with curls at the back of his neck , kind and generous friends and the beginnings of their ever after.

Because He Lives

I stand under the bridge of troubled waters and cry out to Him. He replies that He knows what I suffer. He felt it that night in the Garden of Gethsemane. 
He will strengthen me. He knows how to lift me up because he knows exactly how I feel. 
I can make it through hard days because of Him. 
On this Good Friday I give thanks for the gift of our Saviour Jesus Christ. He lives and He continues to bless, forgive and love us. I have felt Him do this for me. 
Each day I can have peace and joy #BecauseHeLives

10

Love this little man. These 10 years with him have been wonderful. He is smiley and patient. I love his cheeky jokes and cheerful personality. He makes us grin with the funny comments he makes. 
Happy birthday Ammon Jack , it's a blessing to have you as part of our family. 

I prepared a little afternoon tea party table for Ammon ,Josh and Ben. Fletch was at rehearsals for his school musical, Gil was doing good work at Maccas Rosny and Tony was in Washington DC- waaaaah !  :) 
We will have another family dinner birthday cake soon and Ammon would like a party so I'm sure there will be cake there to. Tis always good for me to have more chances to redeem myself from past cake disasters - no one seems to remember the great cakes I made !! :)
Stay tuned. 2015 might be my amazing cake year ... Maybe :)?

Side and back gate project

Family Home Evening 
23.3.15
Just before we called Zach to sing him happy birthday :)

And my contribution ..... 
:) 
Don't ask why they want a side gate .... :)  












The backyard

Just after we moved into Montagu Manor, I noticed that the block behind us was ..... Empty!!!! Yep. Eeeeek. A whole block of land ... Spare ... Waiting ... For our boys to play in !  I said a silent prayer asking that if possible could we have that land one day. I told Tony about it. He wasn't interested :)  I asked the man behind us who owned the land if he would be interested in selling it. He said he might be but nothing eventuated. Until one day I spied 2 " For Sale" signs in the street. One was for the little house adjacent to our house and the other was for the vacant block. More eeeeeek !! I quickly expressed to Tony how we needed to look at buying our new backyard. Turns out that we have bought them both. We are renting out the little house to a lovely lady who has flowers in her windows already and the backyard is being enjoyed by our boys for soccer, cricket and camping adventures. 
I feel so grateful. Wishes do come true and prayers are answered.
