Back on board with blogging!!

Okay okay so I know I have been totally slack at this blogging thing... considering the last post I made on here I was still pregnant and Alexandra is now nearly 6 months old! I figure its about time I get back into it.

So....

We are still living in our wee unit in Stokes Valley and do love it! We will look at finding a bigger house next year most likely when we plan to start trying for baby number 2. On the topic of babies... Alexandra the absolute light of our lives! We are absolutely loving being parents. We have definitely had our fair share of tough times including reflux, sickness, sleepless nights and all the "fun" parts of parenting but it is all made worth it every time you look at her beautiful wee face (okay so we may be a bit biased) But just check our wee beauty out for yourself!

I will do a seperate post on what Lexie is up to these days but thought I should do a post to just update on everything first.

Like for instance, Antz is now a University Graduate, he now holds a Bac

helor of Commerce and Administration. Was great to be able to see him walk across that stage and finally have something to show for all his hard work. He started a new job in March at foodstuffs where he is now an E-Commerce Implementer... from what I gather the main focus of his job is trying to get all of foodstuffs suppliers doing all ordering/invoicing electronically. He is really enjoying it and we are really happy that he now works normal hours Monday to Friday 8:30-5 and is working just 5 minutes drive from home!

I am back at work one day a week at Dick Smith, This means Antz and Lexie have daddy/daughter day on a Saturday but I am hoping to find a

nother job which means I can have the whole weekend off without having to put Lexie into care. I miss only having the one day to spend with Antz and would

love to have weekends as full family time. I would love to be doing in-home childcare so that I can still stay home with Lexie, plus look after other children but unfortunately our house at the moment without having a fenced yard isn't suitable under ministry guidelines.

Of course how could I forget to mention that we are also now ENGAGED! I can't tell a story about a proposal as such we just decided it was time and that we wanted to do it, very much like us it was nice and casual. We have set the date for the 2nd January 2011 and have chosen this date since it is the day after Lexie's birthday, we figure this is a good time as then anyone around for the wedding has a good chance of being here for Lexie's first birthday as well. It will be a fairly small wedding but with lots of little personal touches. We are going to be having the wedding at Trentham Racecourse, and I have already got my dress! Though I do have to work my butt off a little over the next 6 months to ensure I fit into it ;)

Other than all of that we are just plodding along in life. Living, Loving and Laughing, Life is good!
