Long time no see?
I've been busy finishing off my December Daily, while handling a technology tsunami which involved a new pc, two new routers, a printer, a scanner, a network hard drive, usb ports and a webcam!
All of the pages are now done and in the album! YAY!
And the whole album:

I am loving this series, and over the past few years have found great joy in becomine part of a bigger community celebrating life together.
In the past couple of years Facebook Lovebook, One Little Word, Yesterday and Today, Week in the Life, Take 12 and various other projects that get me thinking and documenting our lives. It gives me a change to look on the bright side when things get overwhelming… like yesterday!
I didn’t manage to Take 12 photos this month, but I got several pics in there!
Here’s my Take 12 images so far this year…
I’m posting a quick thankful thought each night as part of Cathy Zielske’s 30 days of thankful project
Today was ANZAC Day, remembering those who have fought for our freedom and those who continue to do so.
We spent the early hours of the morning caring for our little girl who has come down with another cold (she eventually slept from about 4pm-2am, then 2:30-7:30am).
She’d emptied out the whole tissue box into her bed and was just happy to have some cereal and go back to bed at 2am. Mummy joined her for yoghurt and headed back to bed again too.
In the morning we left Daddy to sleep in and I did a bit of admin tidy-up for The Fathering Project and Fresh Styles. I’m trying to finish up all my work before baby number 2 arrives.
We then headed to Neil Hawkins Park with our lifegroup. Emily was thrilled that all her friends were there.
It was a lovely picnic, but I was wishing I still had cooler maternity clothes that actually fit! Only just over a week to go, so never mind! Thankfully none of us got sunburnt and Phill was finally able to pull out the Coke cricket bat and ball he’s be waiting to use (oh and they men kicked the footy as well).
After a bit more work, I had a sleep and woke to find Phill and Steve had put together our newly repaired trampoline! (Thanks Mum!).
We finished the night with Phill’s home made pizza and Liz’s choc brownies. Phill even said he didn’t mind being in Week in the Life when the pizza looked this good!
After showing Steve Phill’s China trip pictures and moving a bit of furniture ready for the new baby, it was time to say goodnight.
I actually got a full night’s sleep on Wednesday night (well I only got up 3 times and went straight back to sleep).
My week so far…

Over at Digital Scrapbooking HQ I’ve put together some tips for Week in the Life, along with my plan on how I’m tackling it.
Today was a tough one for me with little sleep last night (maybe I was hungry? I eventually got myself some yoghurt at 4:30 and back to sleep!), blood glucose monitoring, lots of washing, Emily coming down with another cold and an appointment with a new obstetrician (while my GP/Obs is away for the next 2 weeks). On the plus side, the baby’s head is engaged and my longitudinal blood sugars came back at 5.2 which is totally fine.
I’m cooking a roast for tea, so I hope that I’ll feel better with a full tummy tonight!
But on the other hand, I’m thankful for only a tiny reaction to the flu immunisation I had on Friday, a day with Phill at home tomorrow for ANZAC day and Mum who was able to come and mind Emily while I saw the Doctor (oh and help me change my sewing machine needle, cut pumpkin and replace the elastic in the bassinet cover – love you Mum!)

Ali Edwards’ Week in the Life always seems to come at a busy time for me. But then I think, why not document that too?
I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and would love to document this upcoming week, the last of our family of three. Last year I completed my Week in the Life on my personal blog but never got the album made. I am happy to say that I’ve got all the documentation and photos stored and ready for when I do want to scrap it though!
I’m thinking of using simple photo collage pages along with written notes and memorabilia.
Here’s a little recap of my photos from last year’s WITL.

I have absolutely taken lots of action on my Focus areas:
This month has involved a lot more teaching and online Scrapbooking classes than normal, so I know for the month ahead my focus will move more only our growing family especially as Phill has a trip away coming up.
I have loved looking back at my OLW album from April, especially my note to self if quite poignant one year on – so I can’t wait to get going on April’s prompt!

Welcome to to my stop on the One Little Word blog hop for January. If you’ve come from Tere’s blog, welcome! The full list of blogs is at the end of this post.
My word for 2012 will be Focus.
I’m easily distracted (Phill would say that’s an understatement) and with another addition to the family on the way in May, I feel like this an aspect of my life to work on.
