new year, fresh start

Ok so I set this blog up months ago and then forgot about it! I just remembered about it today when I was checking out another one!!

I hope you all had a lovely christmas and new years. Ours was quiet, Christmas here in Hamilton at dads with all the family. Jacob had just turned one 2 months earlier and enjoyed it so much more this year, it was lovely to see him getting so excited about it all. New years was spent lying in bed watching TV, I am such a nanna these days!!!! Jeff worked through New Years and then we went over to our family bach at Whangamata for a week in mid January. Had a lovely week together with stunning weather and a fabulous time with my 2 boys.

The highlight of our week away was Jacob taking his first steps, he is away walking now and loves how independant he is.

I have officially resigned from work as of last week due to my maternity leave finishing. I am now officially a stay at home mum and love it to pieces. Jacob and I go to playcentre 2 mornings a week which he loves, and it gives me the chance to get out and about with other mums. I also go to the gym a few times a week and Jacob goes to the creche there which he loves as well, he is such a social little man!!! Jeff is still at Bunnings, is coming up 7 years there now and still enjoys his job.

I have picked up my cross stitching again in the last year since Jacob joined our family and have really enjoyed it. I have attached a photo of the birth sampler I did for him last year, I love Winnie the Pooh. I also recently completed teddies on the line as well so thought I would include that one as well

I promise to be more diligent with this!!!
