Wow, I'm back and still alive

I know that is hard to believe LOL. So much has been happening, Lionel is in Australia (Perth) at the moment, he is in the New Zealand shearing team and they have a transtasman competion going on for the Royal show over there and got asked to go. So he flew out on Wednesday and comes back into the country on Monday. It is the longest time he has been away from us and the kids, but I think he is finding it harder than the kids. So I'm farm manager at the moment and touch wood, lambing is going well. This lovely weather certainly helps.
Just a photo because I can :) This is Jake
and this is Abby :)On the scrapbooking front, I've done a few projects. The first was for a friends 30th birthday party that we went to a while back. I made a album for her to get the guests to write in, and there is also room for her to put photos in. I was also photographer for the night so got lots of cool photos to go in it. It was a fantastic night, and specially since mum was here looking after the kids, so Li and I managed to go out for tea before hand. A pleasure that we not often get.
I also got picked for a guest DT spot for scrapbox New Zealand . I completed three projects from the scrapkit that I got sent. (Now I'm uploading them I can only find two) so when Li gets home with my camera, I will get a photo of the other project.
I've also had a layout published in the New Zealand scrapping magazine, entitled, "Boys will be boys" This made Jakes day, although the photo was fairly old, I must try and scrap more photos with in the calender month that the photo was taken, instead of like two years later :)
The boys had cross country a couple of weeks ago and Olly managed a 2nd and Jake was placed 10th out of about 30 plus kids, so he was wrapped about that. Must say mum and dad were thrilled for them both too. This photo is Olly coming in :)
and this one is of Jake :)

Well that will do for today. Till next time. :)
