This is the story of our life and the 40 little toes we have to love. Our quiver is full!

Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them. Psalm 125:3-5

Soccer Saturdays


Today we enjoyed an absolutely beautiful Saturday morning watching A's soccer game. The location could not have been more beautiful. Things like this remind us of how lucky we are to live in beautiful Australia!

Couldn't be a better spot for a team meeting at half time. Gorgeous water views on a day with perfect "winter" weather. Beautiful.


Bored of the game? Plenty to look at and fill the time... Here C is just taking in the view.

Where have I been?

I have been thinking about this blog lately and the fact that I have not posted ANYTHING for months! There have been several times that I have started a post only to be pulled away for some reason. So, what have we been up to, you ask? After our trip to New Zealand in May (my last post), we have had another term of school and another holiday. Last term was very busy and passed very quickly. With three in school and lots of activities, we have entered the stage of busyness that will most likely last until they are off to college...

A has been playing soccer so our Saturdays are filled with "sport" as the Aussies say. M is now doing gymnastics and has moved up to a prelevels team. That means she will be in this group for about a year and then begin to compete. She loves it and is getting very strong! The only problem is that her training is once a week for 2 hours (that is a LONG time) and the gym is about a 20-30 minute drive from our house. Yes, my life as a taxi driver has begun. W and C enjoyed a kindermusik class last term. They both loved it and participated wonderfully. I got a little tired of singing about toast and when it will pop.

That leads us up to our trip to America over the winter holidays. It was wonderful and deserves a post all of its own. Stay tuned...
