A break from blogging, school begins, change is afoot

Its been a busy last month in our household with changes aplenty as the new school year started. Rosie has officially begun as a preppy, Ian is back to teaching and I'm getting used to the time constraints of school hours and time at home with just Bethany. So here's an update for each of us....

Ian continues to teach three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and enjoys riding, running and paddling (kayaks) on his days off. He's also recently done some casual teaching work for Bogong Outdoor Education Centre - this is great because its very close to home and its work that he truly has a passion for.

Rosie is getting used to being at school by 9am (well 8.45am really), wearing a uniform (not her favourite thing) and learning about what happens at school. She's really liking art, French and learning to write 'little' letters. This week she received an achievement award for her 'one monster' that she drew during some numeracy time. This monster has one eye, one mouth, one arm with one finger and one leg with one toe - very creative and very definitely my maths girl at work!!

Bethany is growing bigger - almost 10kg now - and almost walking. She is 10 months old now and we are looking forward to celebrating her first year on April 15th.

As for me...well I've needed a break from blogging to adjust to the changes of the last few weeks (I, like Rosie, am easily overwhelmed by changes, even if they're exciting). But I've been using that time to really get into knitting, to continue sewing (with friends and alone) and even to design my own fabric - more on all of these in the following posts.

Its nice to be getting back to 'normal' and sharing with you all - lots of love and smiles - Carolyn.
