It's not long now

until the clock ticks over to my 32nd birthday. It sounds so funny as I never really imagined reaching this age. I just think back at how when I first started this blog I was 25 and literally a world away from where I am now. It's all good as I surely would not fancy being back there...

The mission of the week besides all the paperwork nightmare that we're still trawling through is to get back to painting. When I first moved here I really wanted to dedicate a big chunk of time to painting but evil day jobs got in the way. I will need to get a baby painting smock to put the wee one in while I'm painting so when I need to pick her up she doesn't get covered in acrylic.

We spent the afternoon yesterday with the lovely mini me (aka Chiara) which was really nice. I simply do not socialize enough lately... but I guess it's mostly due to not being able to balance my new job as mum yet. There is an english play group on Monday's from 11h30 but I've not made it there yet. I'm trying to psych myself up to go but am not so keen on the idea to be honest... we'll see if I make it one day.

Little miss Isabella was christened yesterday. I hope the snow held off for them as they have been getting quite large amounts of it lately. She was to wear the same dress both my sister and I wore when we were christened too. I want to have miss Sienna baptized but I can't imagine we'll be ready for that anytime soon as the paperwork we've already got to surmount is large enough... can't imagine adding anything else to the list right now.
